Jujube Cultivar Vitamin C Profile and Nutrient Dynamics during Maturation

Dynamics of Lamins B and A/C and Nucleoporin Nup160 during Meiotic Maturation in Mouse Oocytes.

This study was aimed at elucidating the fate of three important nuclear envelope components - lamins B and A/C and nucleoporin Nup160, during meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes. These proteins were localized by epifluorescence and confocal microscopy using specific antibodies in oocytes at different stages from prophase I (germinal vesicle) to metaphase II. In immature germinal vesicle oocytes...

Hemato-biochemical and Cortisol Profile of Holstein Growing-calves Supplemented with Vitamin C during Summer Season

Effect of vitamin C (VC) on biochemical, hematological and cortisol profile of growing Holstein calves during summer was investigated. Eighteen calves between 14 and 16 weeks of age were divided equally into two groups. One group received a diet supplemented with VC (20 g/d) for 60 days, while other non-supplemented diet fed group served as a control (CON). The temperature humidity index (THI) ...

Vitamin C and COVID-19

  Corona disease has killed at least 5 million people globally since it started in Wuhan, China in December 2019 (World Health Organization, 2021). The disease is caused by SARS-COVID-19, and is transmitted from person to person by respiratory droplets (Baladia et al., 2020, Ejaz et al., 2020). Although the early symptoms of COVID-19  include fever, weariness, headache, sore throat, cough, d...

Nutrient Profile of Hypothermics

Three abnormal, young female hypotherms with mental retardation had basal temperatures of 88 degrees. Endocrinological evaluations were all negative. An evaluation of nutritional factors was undertaken. No significant changes were found in serum zinc, copper, iron and histamine. Twenty-three nutrients measured in hair showed significant elevations in strontium and sulfur. Analysis of plasma ami...
