       The anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 is located in mitochondria, but it is uncertain whether its expression affects hepatocyte survival in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This experiment was designed to evaluate the role of folic acid in expression of bcl-2 in I/R in rat liver. Eighteen Wister rats were divided into sham-operated controlgroup (C) (n=6), I/R group (...

in order to study the effect of folic acid on seed reserves partitioning and early vigor of seedlings of kavir wheat cultivar, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mm of folic acid. results of this study indicated that dry weight of seeds decreased in a same pattern in all treatments and about 6-8% of total seed was structural section. ...

A new, rapid and highly sensitive and rapid method was proposed for the simultaneous determination trace levels of vitamin C and folic acid in the human urine samples. The inûuence affecting factors on the UA-DLLME such as type and volume of the dispersive and extraction solvent, pH, ionic strength and temperature of sample solution, sonication condition investigated and optimized. Under the op...

In this research the effect of application of different levels of folic acid and time on some quality and agronomic characteristics of strawberry (cultivar Paros) was investigated. The plants were treated by folic acid with concentrations of 0, 20 and 40 mM at two stages (30 days after planting and first blooming) as a factorial experiment using a randomized complete block design with four repl...
