An antibody preparation to purified, homogeneous TPNHcytochrome c reductase from pig liver microsomes was shown to inhibit concomitantly TPNH-cytochrome c reductase (NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.2.3) and ethyhnorphine N-demethylase activities in pig liver microsomes. The antibody also inhibited TPNH-cytochrome c reductase and TPNH-cytochrome P-450 reductase activities in rat and pi...

To investigate the distribution, shape and stainability of the ACTH cells from human, baboon, monkey, cat, dog, rat, mouse, hamster, guinea pig, white-toothed shrew, house musk shrew and mole pituitaries, adjacent tissue sections were immunostained with anti-porcine ACTH1-39 serum and with PAS-ironhematoxylin respectively. Mammalian ACTH cells display two separate morphological appearances :1) ...

Abstract The iron and steel industry generates around 10 % of global greenhouse gas emissions. bulk the emissions originates from ore reduction. In this reduction, coal is used as a reagent. Steelmakers could switch to hydrogen-based direct reduction using hydrogen instead reagent reduce pig iron. This would eliminate CO 2 equivalent process in traditional blast furnace. However, requires massi...

Thirteen Escherichia coli strains harboring stx2e were isolated from 11,056 human stools. This frequency corresponded to the presence of the stx2e allele in 1.7% of all Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) strains. The strains harboring stx2e were associated with mild diarrhea (n = 9) or asymptomatic infections (n = 4). Because STEC isolates possessing stx2e are porcine pathogens, we compared t...

Porcine infectious anemia is a well-known disease that occurs worldwide and is caused by the unculturable hemotrophic bacterium Mycoplasma suis. The actual prevalence and impact of M. suis infections, however, remain fairly unknown. This study examined the prevalence of M. suis in post-weaning pigs by employing a quantitative real-time LightCycler PCR. M. suis infections were detected in 164 ou...

Basal colonic crypt stem cells are long lived and play a role in colon homeostasis. Previous evidence has shown that high-calorie diet (HCD) enhances colonic stem cell numbers and expansion of the proliferative zone, an important biomarker for colon cancer. However, it is not clear how HCD drives dysregulation of colon stem cell/colonocyte proliferative kinetics. We used a human-relevant pig mo...

The design of system for operative planning of blast furnace production process in VSŽ inc. Kosice A system for operative planning of blast furnace production process is described in the paper. The suggested system is based on the use of a new hierarchy of operative plans, consisting of one-month plan, (7+3) days plan, and 24-hour plan. The system allows smoothing of production process at the b...

Previous studies indicate that Matricaria chamomilla (MC), a folk remedy plant, is very useful in the treatment of spasmogenic bowel diseases but the way of its action is not clear. For this purpose, we studied the effect of MC extract on the electrically activation in Guinea-Pig ileum in an invitro model. We used guinea pig in this study. After of kill, we brouhght out a piece of ileum and fix...

chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and g banding techniques. the chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...

Zooarcheological evidence suggests that pigs were domesticated in Southwest Asia ~8,500 BC. They then spread across the Middle and Near East and westward into Europe alongside early agriculturalists. European pigs were either domesticated independently or more likely appeared so as a result of admixture between introduced pigs and European wild boar. As a result, European wild boar mtDNA lineag...
