AIMS The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential uses of relative abundance, relative activity approaches and inhibitory monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in the characterization of CYP enzymology in early drug discovery. METHODS Intrinsic clearance estimates for the oxidation of ethoxyresorufin (a selective probe of CYP1A2 activity), tolbutamide (CYP2C9), S-mephenytoin (CYPC19), dex...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The effect of climatic conditions on the biting density and relative abundance of Simulium damnosum complex at Adani, Nigeria, from August 2010-January 2011 was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The classical method of collecting blackflies for a period of 11 hours using human attractants was employed in the study. Monthly climatic data, such as rainfall, relative...

the objectives of this study were to determine the diversity, seasonal dynamics and abundance of ticks infesting cattle in isfahan zone, iran. the study was conducted in three traditional cattle farms. no acaricides had been applied to cattle at the selected farms. adult ticks were collected twice per month from different parts of the cattle's body. environmental data, including relative h...

species composition, relative abundance, absolute abundance and biomass of sturgeon species were studied during the years 2008-2009. eighty five stations were covered in the stratified random sampling design in depths less than 1om using 9m bottom trawl (head line) and in depths more than 10m using 24.7m bottom trawl (head line). more than 70 specimens of acipenser persicus were caught during t...

BACKGROUND Chronic wounds affect millions of people and cost billions of dollars in the United States each year. These wounds harbor polymicrobial biofilm communities, which can be difficult to elucidate using culturing methods. Clinical molecular microbiological methods are increasingly being employed to investigate the microbiota of chronic infections, including wounds, as part of standard pa...

Some reproduction characteristics of keeled mullet, Liza klunzingeri, were studied during Apr. 2003 to Feb. 2004 in Khuzestan waters of the Persian Gulf. A total of 836 samples were monthly collected from two fish landings of Bahrekan and Hendijan; 727 specimens were studied from point of sex determination, and 60 specimens were studied from the fecundity point of view. This species was found ...

The sturgeon stock assessment was performed to aim at estimation of absolute and relative abundance and determination of species composition at lower 10 m depths using the Si-Sara2 RV vessel in the Iranian coasts of the Caspian Sea in Guilan, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces during 6-30 September 2011-2012. In this study, 40 stations were selected on the basis of stratified random sampling des...
