[ 1 ] - Molecular Docking and Rare Codons Evaluation in the Luciola Lateralis luciferase, an in Silico Study

Luciferase enzymes are involved in the bioluminescence reaction (light emission by living organisms). The bioluminescence process is a widespread phenomenon in the Nature. These enzymes are identified in some domains of life, but the luciferases from lampyrid genus are considered of for biological applications. The molecular cloning of a new type of firefly luciferase from Luciola lateralis was...

[ 2 ] - Isolation and identification of new beneficial bacterial strains from rhizosphere of Citrus sinensis orchards

The rhizosphere is the area around the root of a plant occupied by a unique population of usefulbacteria known as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). In this study, the isolation andidentification of rhizobacteria from orange (Citrus sinensis) orchards using 16S rRNA gene, as well asbiological and biochemical assays is reported. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene was confirmed bybiological and ...

[ 3 ] - Apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) as a liable gene for spontaneous mutations in vitro

The apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) receives the death signal in the intrinsic ormitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Upon the releasing of cytochrome c from theintermembrane space of mitochondria and binding to Apaf-1 molecules, a heptamericapoptosome complex is formed and triggers the downstream cascade of caspases. Here, for thefirst time we present spontaneous mutations and r...

[ 4 ] - The Effects of Ten Weeks Resistance Training on Resting Levels of Some Angiogenesis Factors Among Men with Prostate Cancer

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent canceramong men and the eighth leading cause of death in Iran. In pathological conditions, angiogenesis increases the chance of metastasis and thus spreads cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of 10 weeks of resistance training on some angiogenesis factors among men affected by prostate cancer. Materials and Me...

[ 5 ] - Ursolic acid induces myoglobin expression and skeletal muscle remodeling in mice

Introduction: Ursolic Acid (UA) is a lipophilic triterpenoid compound, found in large amounts in apple peel. Anabolic effects of UA on the skeletal muscle and the role of this tissue as a key regulator of systematic aging aroused this question in mind whether UA might amend skeletal muscle performances such as myoglobin expression and also whether it switches skeletal muscle fibers from glyc...

[ 6 ] - بررسی هشت هفته تمرین استقامتی تناوبی و تداومی بر MicroRNAs های مرتبط با انتقال معکوس کلسترول در موش‌های سالمند نژاد ویستار

سالمندی با تغییراتی در کلسترول خون و به‌دنبال آن، بیماری‌های قلبی- عروقی همراه است. هدف این پژوهش، بررسی تأثیر دو نوع تمرین تناوبی و تداومی بر MicroRNAهای مرتبط با انتقال معکوس کلسترول در موش‌های سالمند بود. تعداد 30 سر موش صحرایی نر نژاد ویستار مسن (23 ماه) با میانگین وزنی 75/441 گرم به‌صورت تصادفی در دو گروه تمرینی و یک گروه کنترل شامل گروه تمرین تداومی (تعداد = 10)، تمرین تناوبی (تعداد = 10)...
