چکیده

Simulations of the effects of DNA polymorphisms, transcriptional noise, and epigenetic differences within and among populations suggest highly divergent responses to drug dosage, resulting in considerable risk of adverse effects. These findings highlight the need for personalized calibration of drug dosage.

The Effect of Pentoxifylline on bcl-2 Gene Expression Changes in Hippocampus after Ischemia-Reperfusion in Wistar Rats by a Quatitative RT-PCR Method

Ischemia-reperfusion injury is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen. Ischemia-reperfusion brain injury initiates an inflammatory response involving the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. Twenty–four male Wistar rats (250-300 g body wt) were used in this study. The animals were divided into four groups of 6 rat...

Expression of Lanosterol 14-Demethylase (ERG11) Gene of Three-Drug Combinations in Candida albicans

Patients with impaired immunity are at particular risk of infections with Candida albicans. Antifungal drugs such as azoles commonly used for candidiasis treatment, but drug resistance is one of the most common problems for public health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of lanosterol 14-demethylase (ERG11) gene for three-drug combinations in C. albicans. Disk diffusion and ...
