The effects of a single injection of haloperidol (2.0 mg/kg), a typical antipsychotic drug, on neurotensin (NT) concentrations and NT/neuromedin N (NT/NN) mRNA expression in adult female and male rats were examined. There were significant estrous cycle stage-related differences in both NT concentrations and NT/NN mRNA expression in female control rats. Although acute administration of haloperid...

A total of 150 day old female chickens (Ross 308) were randomly allocated to 2 groups with 5 replicate and 15 chicks in each replicate to determine the effects of cold induced ascites on performance, antioxidant status, blood enzyme activities and bone metabolism. The two experimental treatments were: 1) chicks that reared under normal temperature (NT) and 2) chicks that reared under cold tempe...

The best performance of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is achieved with the input state |NT /2+ 1〉|NT /2 − 1〉 + |NT /2 − 1〉|NT /2 + 1〉, being NT the total number of atoms/photons. This gives: i) a phase-shift error confidence C68% = 2.67/NT with ii) a single interferometric measurement. Different input quantum states can achieve the Heisenberg scaling ∼ 1/NT but with higher prefactors and at the...

Rotational tillage could be an advisable attempt to overcome some of the adverse impacts mono conservation tillage, and it is necessary assess feasibility adoption rotational for sustaining productivity in long run. Data from 8-year site-specific field study conducted on Loess Plateau were used estimate long-term effect soil water dynamic, properties winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) producti...

Multiple models have been advanced for the evolution of cloverleaf tRNA. Here, the conserved archaeal tRNA core (75-nt) is posited to have evolved from ligation of three proto-tRNA minihelices (31-nt) and two-symmetrical 9-nt deletions within joined acceptor stems (93 - 18 = 75-nt). The primary evidence for this conclusion is that the 5-nt stem 7-nt anticodon loop and the 5-nt stem 7-nt T loop ...

Windows NT is a 32-bit, preemptive multitasking operating system that includes comprehensive networking capabilities and several levels of security. Microsoft markets two version of Windows NT: one for workstations—appropriately named Windows NT Workstation—and a second for servers—Windows NT Server. This article, which describes the workings of the NT architecture, collectively references both...

the aim of this study was to assess the effects of nucleotide on intestinal microbiota of striped catfish, pangasianodon hypophthalmus . different levels of the nt (0, 0.25. 0.5, 0.75 and 1 % weight per weight, ww -1 ) were added to basal diet and then randomly allocated to triplicate groups of fish with average initial weight (1.52±0.11 g) for 10 weeks. at the end of the experiment, at least 1...

Neurotensin (NT) exerts multiple functions in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Its actions are mainly mediated by a high-affinity G-protein-coupled receptor, the NT-1 receptor. In this study we demonstrated a nuclear NT binding site in different cellular models. We first noted that a large percentage of NT-1 receptor cell body immunoreactivity was located in the nuclear soma a...

Neurotensin (NT) is a tridecapeptide that interacts with three NT receptors; NTS1, NTS2, and NTS3. Although NT has been reported to modulate GABAergic activity in the brain, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of NT are elusive. Here, we examined the effects of NT on GABAergic transmission and the involved cellular and signaling mechanisms of NT in the hippocampus. Application of N...

OBJECTIVE To assess hormonal changes in nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) in full-term newborns (NT) with sepsis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 28 NT with sepsis divided into 2 groups according to the time of normalization of serum and clinical indicators of infection: group A(A), 16 NT with improvement in up to 8 days; and group B(B), 12 NT improvement after 8 days. Among the 28 NT, 1...
