despite two decades of artificial spawning of wild carp (cyprinus carpio) to rehabilitate natural populations in the southeastern caspian sea, there are still no appropriate physiological criteria for selecting competent brooders during induced spawning. to this end, the plasma concentrations of vitellogenin (vtg), phosphorus (p) and calcium (ca) were measured during ovarian development, as pot...

conclusions it is suggested that determination of the target genotype by plasma subtyping for choosing the proper antiviral therapy is essential but may result in therapy failure. hcv genotyping in pbmc samples, along with plasma specimens, might be more beneficial. therefore determining the hcv genotype in pbmcs, before beginning the therapy is useful due to the possibility of occult infection...

In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...

in this study the plasma levels of lipid peroxidation (lp) products, protein carbonyls and antioxidant capacity of plasma as judged by ferric reducing ability of plasma (frap assay) were compared in adult and weanling rats treated with vitamin k1 phylloquinone).

recently multiple studies have shown that elevated homocysteine levels may be associated with ophthalmic vascular disease. to investigate the role of high plasma levels of homocysteine in the patients with retinal vein occlusion, 21 patients with retinal vein occlusion (rvo) and 20 age and sex matched controls without rvo were included in this retrospective case–control study. information regar...

each country faces a continuing challenge to collect enough blood to meet the national needs. according to who, there should be at least 20 blood donations per 1,000 population for developing countries, in kazakhstan this indicator was only 16.8 in 2011. thus, we conducted an epidemiological assessment and drew a map of the regional distribution of blood and plasma donations in kazakhstan durin...

enhanced oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus may contribute to the pathogenesis of diaetic complications. in this article, the stress oxidative generation has been studied in experimental diabetes by ferric reducing ability of plasma assay, a sensitive and simple method, and by other oxidative damage markers. the ferric reducing ability of plasma values as a total antioxidant capacity were si...
