Introduction: To assess the salivary composition of proteins and minerals in smokers compared with non-smokers.   Materials and Methods: In this study we compared the total protein and Ca, Na, K, Mg, Pb of whole saliva in two groups of men (28 smokers and 31nonsmokers) aged between 29-41years.   Results: Fifty-nine participants were evaluated. The mean age was 33.14±5.32 years among smo...

the performance of new forage brassica plants were studied in ilam, iran, during 2012-2014 in a field experiment using a randomized complete block design with four replications. the treatments included, different forage crops perko, buko, oilseed radish, berseem clover, and the combination of three plants ramtil, phaselia, and clover. the studied traits consisted of plant height, forage yield, ...

background:the dynamic binding capacity (dbc) of a chromatography matrix in protein purification is the amount of the total protein absorbed into the matrix, before occurrence of a significant break in the breakthrough curve. optimization of the process criteria for maximum dbc avoids extra process scale-up and reduces the processing time, costs and protein loss. taguchi method is a simple usef...

the study was carried out on 120 crossbred holstein × shahiwal dairy cows for a period of 150 days to quantify the influence of dietary energy and protein intake on yield and composition of milk. total 12 dairy farms having similar housing systems and holding at least 20 dairy cows in between mid to late lactation were selected for study purposes. the farms were located in the peri-urban and ur...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the protein spots of excre-tory - secretory products of fasciola hepatica using two dimension electrophoresis method in the presence and absence of triclabendazole drug which can be consid-ered to detect the target protein of the drug. methods: f. hepatica parasites were collected from infected cattle livers, divided in two groups and cultivated...
