This study was conducted to determine chromatin integrity and DNA damage by DNA electrophoresis and comet assays of buffalo fresh and frozen semen. Semen samples were collected from four buffalo bulls and evaluated after freezing for semen motility, viability, sperm abnormalities, chromatin integrity and DNA damage. A significant variation was found in semen parameters after thawing. Highly sig...

The most common technique for sorting, identifying, and purifying nucleic acid fragments is agarose gel electrophoresis. performance of the electrophoresis could be impacted by buffers’ composition, ionic strength, pH characteristics [1].

This study tested the null hypothesis that antihistamine-containing syrup does not change salivary metabolites in vitro and vivo. For experiments, saliva from 10 volunteers was mixed with a or pill suspension of loratadine (1 mg/ml Claritin®, Schering-Plough, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). vivo experiment, performed mouth rinse mL antihistamine (Claritin®; Brazil) for 20 seconds then discarded water....

Background: Studies have demonstrated that sickle cell trait can be found in an asymptomatic healthy carrier with normal complete blood count (CBC) and red blood cell (RBC) indices. According to Iranian Ministry of Health bulletin instructions, prenuptial Thalassemia Screening Program (TSP) primarily depends on RBC indices which are measured through a routine CBC. Only when these levels are bel...

A method is described which allows to reveal simultaneously the proteolytic patterns of numerous polypeptides separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. After two-dimensional electrophoresis, the gels were dipped successively in buffers for preequilibration, protease digestion, and reequilibration. They were then returned to the electrophoresis tank, and electrophoresis was continued for a s...

DOI: 10.1002/elps.202000086 The cover picture shows the determination of four alkyl sulfate (AS) surfactants (C14, C12, C10, and C8) by capillary electrophoresis (CE) after preconcentration simultaneous adsorption AS on Al2O3 surface. EOF electroosmotic flow (EOF) at high pH pushes move to contactless conductivity detector (C4D). electropherograms show separation in order C14, C8.
