the nutrients are able to interact with molecular mechanisms and modulate the physiological functions in the body. the nutri­tional genomics focuses on the interaction between bioactive food components and the genome, which includes nutrigenet­ics and nutrigenomics. the influence of nutrients on f genes expression is called nutrigenomics, while the heterogene­ous response of gene variants to nu...

background: genetic variation influences susceptibility/resistance to tuberculosis. cxcl10 is involved in t-cell migration and stimulation of natural killer cells in mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. objectives: we aimed to investigate the genetic polymorphisms in promoter of the cxcl10 gene in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (ptb) and healthy controls, to clarify whether polymorphisms...

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, intrusive, unwanted thoughts. Research indicates a genetic predisposition for OCD. Many people with OCD have one or more family members who also have it or who may have other anxiety disorders influenced by the brain's serotonin levels, such as panic disorder. Although OCD is a chronic and oftentimes d...

study of genetic relationships is a prerequisite for plant breeding activities as well as for conservation of genetic resources. in the present study, genetic diversity among and within 15 iranian native ajowan(carum copticum l.) populations were determined using inter simple sequence repeat (issr) markers. twelve selected primers produced 153 discernible bands, with 93 (60.78%) being polymorph...

the genetic structure of the genus alburnus is not well known and the phylogenetic relationships among its species are uncertain. in the present study, simple sequence repeats (ssrs or microsatellites) were used to evaluate genetic diversity and genetic differentiation between alburnus mossulensis heckel, 1843 from kashgan river in lorestan province and alburnus caeruleus heckel, 1843 from gama...

objective: estimation of genetic parameters for kleiber ratio (kr) and genetic trends for pre-weaning weights of arabi sheep has not been previously conducted.methods: data and pedigree information were collected at the khuzestan ramin agricultural and natural resources university, animal science research station, located in southwest iran, from 2001 to 2008. (co)variance components and corresp...

little information is available regarding genetic variation in wild wheat relatives from iran. in this study, genetic diversity of 36 populations of wild einkorn wheat, triticum boeoticum, was studied using amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) primer combinations. seventeen aflp primer combinations led to amplify 979 scorable fragments ranging from 50 to 500 bp and of these, 429 (44%) ...

under an intensive competitive environment, the construction industry is facing pressure to meet the higher customer expectations under a tighter budget. on the other hand, construction is one of the main sectors generating greenhouse gases. according to published statistics, construction industry is one of the most important resources of greenhouse emissions in the world. therefore, based on t...
