one hundred and sixty one-day-old male broilers (ross 308) in a 6-wk period were conducted to 2 groups (with 4 replicates for each group), 20 chicks for a replicate. one group of these chickens was raised in normal temperature (nt) treatment and the other in cold temperature (ct) treatment to induce ascites. at the end of the experiment (wk 6), 2 chickens from each replicate were randomly selec...

The study aimed to evaluate the impact of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on adipose tissue, pancreatic islets and liver in mice fed high-fat diet. C57BL/6 male mice were fed one of two diets: standard chow (Lean group LE) or a high-fat diet (Obese group – OB). After the first 12-weeks, the animals were divided into non-trained (LE-NT and OB-NT), trained groups (LET and OB-T), and start...

Neurotrophin (NT)-4 is known to be an inducer of catagen in the hair cycle, but little is known of its role in the pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia (AGA). We previously studied the gene expression of dermal papilla cells from AGA patients and controls and found that NT-4 was up-regulated in the AGA patients. In the present study, the etiological relationship between NT-4 and androgen, whic...

The short- and medium—long-term effects of management hillside position on soil organic carbon (SOC) changes were studied in a centenary Mediterranean rainfed olive grove. One way to measure these is analyze the quality, as it assesses degradation degree attempts identify practices for sustainable use. In this context, SOC stratification index (SR-COS) one best indicators quality assess from co...

Functional studies were performed on human peripheral blood T lymphocytes stained with goat anti-5'-nucleotidase antibodies and separated into ecto-5'-nucleotidase (ecto-5'-NT)-positive and -negative populations using the FACSTAR fluorescence-activated cell sorter. On the average, ecto-5'-NT+ T cells contained 34 +/- 13% CD4+ and 55 +/- 15% CD8+ cells, whereas ecto-5'-NT-T cells contained 65 +/...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of the deviation from the mid-sagittal plane, fetal image size, tissue harmonic imaging (THI), and speckle reduction filter (SRF) on the measurement of the nuchal translucency (NT) thickness using Volume NT software. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 79 pregnant women, NT was measured using Volume NT. Firstly, the three-dimensional volumes were categorized based on the ...

Windows NT was not designed as a real-time operating system, but market forces and the acceptance of NT in industrial applications have generated a need for achieving real-time functionality with NT. As its use for real-time applications proliferates, based on an experimental evaluation of NT, we quantitatively characterize the obstacles placed by NT. As a result of these observations, we provi...
