acetyl-coenzyme a carboxylase α (acc-alpha) is considered as the key regulatory enzyme in fatty acid biosynthesis. acc-alpha gene is located on caprine chromosome 11 and is polymorphic in many goat breeds. in the current study, we aimed to find possible single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) in the exon 1 region of the acc-alpha gene in iranian mahabadi goat breed. genomic dna was extracted fro...

A cross-sectional study was conducted to measure plasma retinol and alpha-tocopherol status and the growth indices of 66 healthy Thai infants aged about 7 months old. The mean (SD) plasma retinol and alpha-tocopherol level were 1.59(0.31) and 25.40(7.01) micromol/l respectively. For their weight, height, and body mass index, the mean (SD) values were 7.96(0.93) kg, 69.95(2.42) cm, and 16.25(1.4...

We prove a conjecture of Teissier asserting that if $f$ has an isolated singularity at $P$ and $H$ is smooth hypersurface through $P$, then $\widetilde{\alpha}\_P(f)\geq \widetilde{\alpha}\_P(f\vert\_H)+\frac{1}{\theta\_P(f)+1}$, where $\widetilde{\alpha}\_P(f)$ $\widetilde{\alpha}\_P(f\vert\_H)$ are the minimal exponents $f\vert\_H$, respectively, $\theta\_P(f)$ invariant obtained by comparing...

In this manuscript, we will study \({\tilde{o}}\)-convergence in (partially) ordered vector spaces and a kind of convergence space V. A V is called semi-order (in short space), if there exist an W operator T from into W. way, say that with respect to \(\{W, T\}\). net \(\{x_\alpha \}\subseteq V\) said be \({\{W,T\}}\)-order convergent \(x\in write \(x_\alpha \xrightarrow {\{W, T\}}x\)), wheneve...

In the bile acid biosynthetic pathways of humans and the rat, hepatic 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 alpha-HSDH) catalyzes the stereospecific reduction of the 3-oxo group of bile acid precursors. In addition, 3 alpha-HSDH may serve to shuttle bile acids from sinusoidal to apical (cannalicular) membranes of the rat hepatocyte. The objective of the present study was to define the molecul...
