to study the effects of different levels of seed ageing and bacteria inoculation on yield of common bean at field conditions, an experiment was carried out as factorial arranged in rcbd design with three replications at research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2012. treatments consisted of four levels of seed ageing (0 (control), 3, 6 and 9 days at 41°c and 90-100% relative humidit...

objective: ageing of the stored seed is a natural phenomenon and the seeds tend to lose viability even under ideal storage conditions. accelerated ageing has been recognized as a good predictor of the storability of seed lots. aged seeds show decreased vigor and produce weak seedlings that are unable to survive once reintroduced into a habitat. the characteristics of the chemical composition of...

Given the myriad of age-related changes and the many proposed mechanistic theories of ageing, a major problem in gerontology is distinguishing causes from effects. This review aims to identify and evaluate those mechanisms which have gathered experimental support in favour of seeing them as a cause rather than an effect of ageing. Recent results related to energy metabolism and ageing, the free...

background: this study was undertaken to evaluate the role of day 3 fsh/lh ratio and day 3 lh level as predictors of ivf cycle outcomes. methods: this prospective observational study was undertaken in the ivf and reproductive biology centre and lok nayak hospital, affiliated to maulana azad medical college, in new delhi, india. the study included 105 women who underwent controlled ovarian hyper...

objective: the study assessed the efficacy of low dose ketoconazole in addition to clomiphene citrate ( cc) and hmg on ovulation induction. materials and methods: a double blind, randomized, clinical trial was performed on fifty infertile patients with pcos who had failed to respond to a daily dose of hmg and 100 mg cc for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in vali-e-asr reproductive health re...

ageing is a complex process and a broad spectrum of physical, psychological, and social changes over time. accompanying diseases and disabilities, which can interfere with cancer treatment and recovery, occur in old ages. micrornas (mirnas) are a set of small non-coding rnas, which have considerable roles in post-transcriptional regulation at gene expression level. in this review, we attempted ...

Abstract Background Anti-Müllerian hormone is a dimeric glycoprotein produced by the granulosa cells of preantral and small antral follicles ovaries. It reliable biomarker ovarian reserve, ageing, response in management women with infertility. However, there are few studies on determinants serum anti-Müllerian Nigerian women. This study aimed to investigate among adult reproductive age. The was...

Ageing is a leading risk factor for many debilitating diseases. While age-related diseases have been the subject of over a century of intense investigation, until recently, physiological ageing was considered unavoidable. Pharmacological and genetic studies have since shown that ageing is a malleable process and that its abrogation can prevent its associated diseases. This review summarises a s...
