We showed previously that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) increases prolactin (PRL) gene expression and secretion in turkey primary pituitary cells. We have now used 5’flanking deletions and mutations of the turkey PRL promoter fused to the luciferase (Luc) reporter gene in transient transfection assays to further characterize sequences involved in stimulation of PRL gene expression by VIP....

The serologic response of turkey poults to an infectious enteritis (bluecomb disease) agent was analyzed. Serum samples collected from poults on post-inoculation days 3, 7, 14, and 21 were compared to serum from normal poults by electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis. Albumin concentrations were decreased whereas alpha and gamma globulins were increased during the disease. Qualitative and qu...

BACKGROUND Despite promising data in Western countries, there is a dearth of research into the efficacy of text messaging-based smoking cessation programs in other settings, including the Middle East, where smoking prevalence rates are higher. OBJECTIVE This paper reports cessation rates observed in SMS Turkey, a text messaging-based smoking cessation program for adult smokers in Ankara, Turk...
