Many studies have revealed molecular connections between breast and bone. Genes, important in the control of bone remodeling, such as receptor activator of nuclear kappa (RANK), receptor activator of nuclear kappa ligand (RANKL), vitamin D, bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteopontin (OPN), and calcitonin, are expressed in breast cancer and lactating breast. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and...

Growth hormone gene plays a critical role in regulating growth and metabolism which leads to potential correlations between the polymorphisms of this gene and economic trait. A 776 bp fragment within the intron 1 region of the growth hormone gene from 346 individuals of an F2 population of Japanese quail was amplified. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product was digested using MspI restrict...

Gestational diabetes is a glucose intolerance level first identified during pregnancy. This condition caused by hormone secretion that hinders insulin action from the placenta which resistance will cause hyperglycemia. increase oxidative stress, and in consequence increasing inflammation cell death can hinder fetal growth development. Salacca zalacca peel food waste contains antioxidants anti-i...

background: cesarean section delivery can lead to much maternal morbidity. different cytokines have been reported to be influenced by the mode of delivery. objective: to investigate the influence of mode of delivery on maternal, placental and cord sera of interferon gamma (ifn-γ), interleukin-4 (il-4) and interleukin-10 (il-10) levels. methods: these three cytokines were measured using elisa in...
