A well-organized monolayer of alkylated perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic-3,4,9,10-diimide (PTCDI) has been formed onto CVD graphene transferred on a transparent substrate. Its structure has been probed by scanning tunnelling microscopy and its optical properties by polarized transmission spectroscopy at varying incidence. The results show that the transition dipoles of adsorbed PTCDI are all o...

Abstract Effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs) are complex mixtures of chemicals including endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and 17?-ethynylestradiol (EE2). The objective this study was to evaluate selected responses two fish species, in different years, exposed situ MWTP effluent. Biological markers exposure (plasma vitellogenin (VTG) antioxidant enzymes) were measur...

Polycystic ovarian syndrome can be defined as an endocrine disorder that most affects the reproductive system of women childbearing age; its causes are not exactly known. However, majority experts agree it is a multifactorial entity with multiple factors. Genetics becoming increasingly important. In recent years, several genes involved in pathogenic processes this have been identified. Within t...

(fabaceae) consists of perennial herbs grow in sandy soils with hard lightness. three species of the genus grow in iran, among them g. glabra l. has the widest distribution. it is well known in english as licorice and the root extract includes flavonoids and glycyrrhizin are used widely in medicine, food industry, tobacco products and other industries. liqui...

Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) is a leucine-rich repeat containing class A G-protein coupled receptor belonging to the subfamily of glycoprotein hormone receptors (GPHRs), which includes luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LH/CGR) and thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor. Its cognate ligand, follicle-stimulating hormone binds to, and activates FSHR expressed on the su...

Genes critical for fertility are highly conserved in mammals. Interspecies DNA sequence variation, resulting in amino acid substitutions and post-transcriptional modifications, including alternative splicing, are a result of evolution and speciation. The mammalian follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) gene encodes distinct species-specific forms by alternative splicing. Skipping of exon ...

the objective of the present study was to detect polymorphism in follicle stimulating hormone receptor (fshr) and beta subunit of follicle stimulating hormone (fshβ) genes and their relation to litter size and body weight trait in baluchi, iran black and arman sheep breeds. pcr-rflp technique using acci and hinfi enzyme treatments employed to detection of polymorphism in fshβ marker site but de...

Stem cell factor (SCF) is essential for the development of primordial follicles. By using cultured ovaries from neonatal rats, the effect of SCF on early follicular development was investigated. Steroidogenesis is a hallmark of follicular development. Expressions of three key protein factors in steroidogenesis, SF-1, StAR, and P450arom, were investigated using immunohistochemistry and in situ h...
