Freeze-drying and gamma irradiation are the techniques widely use in tissue banking for preservation and sterilization of tissue grafts respectively. However, the effect of these techniques on biomechanical properties of bovine pericardium is poorly known. A total of 300 strips of bovine pericardium each measured 4 cm 1 cm were used in this study to evaluate the effect of freeze-drying on biome...

The respiratory tract contains numerous peptides secreted from special pulmonary epithelial cells whichare called endocrine cells. The function of neuroendocrine cells is modulated by amines. Serotonin has strong vasomotor and bronchomotor effects in the airway mucosa. The objective of this study was to determine presence and distribution of serotonin-positive endocrine cells in respiratory tra...

The nutritional, physicochemical, and functional properties of milk are affected by thermal processing. Buffalo make a substantial contribution to global production but there have been comparatively few studies on how processing affects the buffalo milk. This paper critically reviews current knowledge regarding changes during storage milk, milk-based products, buffalo-bovine blends. Heating res...

The second member of the Na(+)/glucose cotransporter family, SGLT2, is a low-affinity active glucose transporter. In humans, it is predominantly located on the apical membrane of the S1 and S2 segments of renal proximal convoluted tubules, and, thus, may be mainly responsible for the reabsorption of D-glucose from the glomerular filtrate. By BLAST searching the GenBank database, we found expres...

?-Lactalbumin (?-LA) and ?-lactoglobulin (?-LG) were isolated from yak milk identified by mass spectrometry. The variant of ?-LA (L8IIC8) in had 123 amino acids, the sequence differed bovine milk. acid at site 71 was Asn (N) domestic milk, but Asp (D) wild sequences. Yak ?-LG 2 variants, A (P02754) E (L8J1Z0). Both contained E, it absent 158 ?-Lg Gly (G) Glu (E) bovine. secondary structures sli...
