this study was conducted to evaluate histochemical alterations of river buffalo’s uterine wall acid andalkaline phosphatases (alp and acp), lipase and carbohydrate ratio during follicular and luteal phases.forty apparently healthy and non pregnant river buffalos were considered for removal of the uterus aftersacrifice in slaughterhouse. all dissected uteri were divided into two luteal (by obser...

1. The effects of Ca(2+) ions and the nutritional state of the animals on the distribution of soluble protein between the medium, cytoplasmic and particulate fractions after incubation of rat-liver slices have been studied. 2. The Ca(2+)ions decreased the leakage of cytoplasmic protein into the medium and increased the loss of protein from the particles; the effects were more marked with livers...

Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) is activated in plants upon recognition by pattern receptors (PRRs) of damage- and microbe-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs MAMPs) derived from or microorganisms, respectively. To understand better the plant mechanisms involved perception carbohydrate-based structures recognized as DAMPs/MAMPs, we have studied ability mixed-linked β-1,3/1,4-glucans (MLGs), p...

The lamprey heart contains characteristic catecholamine-storing cells in both the atrium and the ventricle. Sufficient circumstantial evidence is available indicating that catecholamines together with protein carbohydrate complexes are contained in these cells within the membrane bound cytoplasmic granules. If the "recepto-secretory function" and "neuroectodermal origin" of these cells are prov...

BACKGROUND CD24 expression has been described as a significant prognostic factor in multiple solid tumours. Most of these studies have, however, been undertaken using the Ab-2 antibody (clone SN3b), which detects a CD24-associated carbohydrate, and not the CD24 protein itself. Although its biological identity remains unclear, its prognostic significance means that detection of this carbohydrate...

In euthyroid rats fed a high carbohydrate fat-free diet for 10 days, the mass of cellular malic enzyme mRNA in liver is increased 7- to 8-fold above the basal level. Malic enzyme activity is stimulated to the same extent. This effect does not result from an increase either in the transcriptional activity of the malic enzyme gene, as determined by nuclear run-off transcription assay, or in the c...

BACKGROUND This research studied the effect of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) on spermatogenesis. We aimed to estimate the effect of CPFX on serum levels of testosterone, LH and FSH. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, a total of 24 mice were assigned to controlsham and test groups. We subdivided the test group into low (206 mg/kg) and high (412 mg/kg) dose CPFX groups. Control-sham anima...

background: nowadays it is proofed that the uterine artery plays essential role in follicular growth and/or post parturition hemorrhagic. objective: this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of bilateral uterine artery ligation (bual) on follicular fate and the probable histochemical changes of the carbohydrate and lipids in the ovaries of rabbits. materials and methods: 24 mature female ...

The macrophage mannose receptor is an integral membrane protein expressed on the surface of tissue macrophages. After ligation of mannose-rich glycoconjugates or pathogens, the receptor mediates endocytosis and phagocytosis of the bound ligands by macrophages. The cDNA-derived primary structure of the mannose receptor predicts a cysteine-rich NH2-terminal domain, followed by a fibronectin type ...

The aim of this work was to standardize metabolic and cytoplasmic Madurella mycetomatis antigen to be applied in the immunodiagnosis of mycetoma. Growth curves were established growing the mold in two broth media with weekly measures of protein and carbohydrate levels and of dry weight. Sera from immunized rabbits and patient's sera were used in immunoprecipitation to test the antigens. Three w...
