This study discusses maturity onset diabetics and the role of body constitution in the progression of the disease in detail.

The mechanisms and temporal aspects of mate choice according to genetic constitution are still puzzling. Recent studies indicate that fitness is positively related to diversity in immune genes (MHC). Both sexes should therefore choose mates of high genetic quality and/or compatibility. However, studies addressing the role of MHC diversity in pre- and post-copulatory mate choice decisions in wil...

The genetic constitution of an individual largely governs its morphological development and its response to both internal and external stimuli. The inherited character may be expressed regardless of the nongenetic or environmental influences; or the nongenetic influences may completely suppress the genetic tendencies. Neither, in a large majority of the cases, is completely suppressed by the ot...

Sasang Constitutional Medicine (SCM) offers a medical principle that classifies humans into four constitution groups and guides their treatment with constitution-matched medical assistance. The principle of this traditional medicine, although requires significant scientific support, appears to suggest a genetic influence on constitution type. The relative frequency of constitution types in a po...

voltage-gated K channels in other cell types [Ba 2 mM; Cs 5 mM; TEA (tetraethylammonium) 20 mM; EGTA 1 mM) (Lew & Ferreira, 1978; Egan et ul., 1987) did not, however, alter ouabainand bumetanide-insensitive K uptake. The substitution of CH,SO, for CI in the incubation medium reduced the residual K uptake by about 18%, suggesting that a Cldependent K transport pathway similar to that observed in...

Methods for genetically mapping the end points of tandem -1plicaticEns c the rII region of bacteriophage T4D are presented. Analysis of ten duplications indicates (1) that the position of duplication end points and therefore the length of the duplicated segment differ in strains of independent origin; (2) that there is a direct relationship between segregation frequency and length; (3) that seg...

The main objective of this study was to verify the association between the coefficient of parentage estimates and multivariate techniques which were used as measures of genetic diversity in cultivars. Thirty cotton cultivars were used for this purpose among which genetic diversity was estimated by means of the parentage coefficient (CP) and also through multivariate techniques employing microsa...

Background: We aimed in this study to evaluate the constitution status of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in metabolic obesity normal weight (MONW) and the genetic effectors of this phenotype from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and DNA methylation modification. Methods: One to one matched case-control study was conducted in our research. We conducted the standardized Constitution in C...

Eversporting of somatic characters is found in nature in many plants and animals, in the form of variegated leaf, flower, or fruit color in plants, piebald coat color in animals, et cetera. Since every cell in an adult plant or animal is derived from a single germ cell by a process of cell division in which equal distribution of chromatin is supposed to take place, it is difficult to see how tw...
