The delivery of therapeutic proteins has gained momentum with development of biotechnology. However, large molecular weight, hydrophilic nature and susceptibility to harsh environment of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) resulted in low absorption. The main objective of this work was the design of a particulate system for oral delivery of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the basis of parti...

antibiotics are widely used as bacteriostatic and bactericidal drugs in bacterial infections. besides the respective interactions between the antibiotics and bacteria and between the immune system and bacteria, antibiotics also interact directly with the immune system and have various immunomodulatory effects on phagocytosis, chemotaxis, cytokine production and endotoxine release. in this stu...

there are some conflicts about constancy of conduction velocity (cv) in a given tract of nervous system. by recording excitatory postsynaptic currents (epsc) in layer iv of the somatosensory cortex we tried to clear changes in cv of thalamocortical tract of mice aged 3 to 50 days old. field potentials and epsc were recorded in the layer iv by stimulation of ventrobasal nucleus of thalamus (vb) ...

the aim of the present study was to determine the presence of helicobacter species in different parts of gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary system and pancreas of stray cats. six different sites at the level of genus, gastric (h. heilmannii and h. felis) and enterohepatic species of helicobacter were investigated in six cats using species-specific primers by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). ...
