background and objectives: endophytic actinobacteria colonize inside the plant tissues without causing damages to the host plant. since these microorganisms colonize in the different parts of plants and can stop plant disease, they have been applied as biological agents for controlling human diseases. the aim of this study was molecular identification and measuring the antimicrobial activity of...

introduction: adhesion formation after pelvic surgery is still a major cause of several morbidities such as infertility, pain, bowel obstruction and subsequent intra-operative complications. our aim was to investigate the effects of d-penicillamine in preventing adhesion formation in rat uterine horn. methods: this experimental trial was conducted on 30 rats. the rats were randomly assigned to ...

diabetes mellitus is a progressive disease. most investigators have focused on glomerular changes in diabetic kidney and non-glomerular alterations have been less attended. the present study has been conducted to find early non-glomerular histological changes in diabetic renal tissue. twenty male wistar rats weighting 200-250 g were used for the diabetic group. diabetes mellitus was induced by ...

Wild house mice genetically selected for low (LAL) and high (SAL) aggression show divergent behavioural coping responses in the forced swim test (FST, i.e., immobility by LAL mice versus swimming/climbing by SAL mice). The two mouse lines also differ in structural and functional properties of postsynaptic serotonergic-1A (5-HT1A) receptors. In the present study, it was first investigated whethe...

Testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) are involved in intraspecific aggressive behavior. Both steroids exert their effects on behaviour via the hypothalamus and the amygdala (Am) of the central nervous system (CNS). In these brain areas T is converted to E2, by the enzyme aromatase. Both the levels of brain aromatase activity (AA) and the effects of T and E2 on aggressive behavior in adulthood de...

Incorporation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into liposomes dramatically reduces its ability to coagulate Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL). The coagulation of LAL is commonly used to signal the presence of endotoxin in vitro. This study demonstrates a simple method to release masked endotoxin from liposomal dispersions using moderate amounts of detergent to form mixed micelles containing lipid, dete...
