background: addition of amino acids to the culture medium is beneficial for embryonic development in many species. objective: the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of amino acids on the in vitro maturation and embryonic development of the bovine oocyte. materials and methods: bovine ovaries were collected from a local abattoir and brought into laboratory. cumulus-oocyte com...

apoptosis is a complex network of biochemical and molecular pathway with fine regulatory mechanisms that control the death event during several pathological situations in multi cellular organisms. it is the part of normal development that occurs in a variety of diseases and is known as aberrant apoptosis. pancreatic β cell apoptosis is also a pathological feature which is common in both type 1 ...

low molecular weight organic acids are most predominant in apple juice among these components fumaric acid was not exceed more than 5 ppm. it was thought that the hplc is the best method of the determination of organic acids in the apple juice. in this study, chromatographic separation of organic acids of apple juice was obtained by preparing a sample and by applying them to acid phase for extr...

Background and Aims: Amino acids have different effects on the growth of some dermatophytes. Some may increase whereas others maydecrease their growth. The concentration of some amino acids is also an important factor for their effects. Materials and Methods: To investigate the effects of L-amino acids on the growth of six species of dermatophytes including Epidermophyton floccosum, Microspor...

Fatty acids composition in edible parts of Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus pelagicus) caught in the Persian Gulf close to the Bushehr Province were investigated. Among saturated fatty acids (SFA), the 16:0 and 18:0 fatty acids were the most two dominant fatty acids in meat tissues that analyzed. 18:1n-9 and 16:1n-7 were the major fatty acids among the MUFAs of male and female crab. The main PUFAs ...

Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...
