Although the primary emphasis of research on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) tends to be on adult animals, the young SHR can have a mean arterial pressure that is elevated above normal almost proportionately as much as in adult SHR. This study attempted to determine whether the cerebral vasculature of 4- to 5-week-old SHR used existing normal mechanisms to tolerate hypertension or had mic...

A 120-kDa protein that blocks DNA termini has been purified from extracts of HeLa cells. This protein inhibits the action of a number of enzymes that catalyze reactions involving the 5' and 3' ends of DNA (DNA ligase, 3' and 5' exonucleases, and DNA polymerase alpha). The 120-kDa protein blocks the synthesis of long DNA chains that are normally formed during simian virus 40 DNA replication, cau...

In order to investigate the effect of urea, Azocompost and cutting on growth characteristics of Oregano, a factorial split-plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at Yazd and Mashhad, Iran, during 2012-2013 growing season. Four urea levels and four Azocompost levels (to provide 0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N.ha-1 each) for Yazd location )0, 43.5, ...
