objective(s) in this study we investigated the expression of gabaa receptor subunits during brain development. these receptors may change in the embryonic chick forebrain. materials and methodes the expression levels of four types of gabaa receptor gamma subunits (γ1, γ2, γ3 and γ4) were quantified in the embryonic chick forebrain at 32 hr, 3, 7, 14, and 20 days of incubation and day one after ...

the present study explored the embryonic and larval development of an endangered fish species nandus nandus and resolved larval growth performances with the dietary supplementation of different types of lipids. fertilized eggs were collected from fiber glass tanks immediately after spontaneous spawning of n. nandus, which were fed with a 1% phospholipid (squid meal) supplemented diet for 3 mont...

background:   objective: the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of rabbit antiserum to es cells on mouse preimplantation embryo development and chimera production.   materials and methods: mouse 4-cell embryos were matured in vitro at 37.5 o c, in humidified 5% co 2 atmosphere for 12-36 h. the embryos were cultured in ksom medium with or without antiserum for 12-36 h. the ratios...

Side effects of ciprofloxacin (CPFX), a widely used broad spectrum antibiotic with fluoroquinolone core, have been reported in different organs. In the present study we sought to elucidate the impact of ciprofloxacin on sperm chromatin integrity and sperm DNA damage using Aniline Blue and Acridine Orange technique, respectively. The fertility potential in male mice was also evaluated. NMRI male...

Previous studies have shown that morphine administration could inhibit neural tube development in rat embryos and produce behavioral defects in human and animals. In the present study, the effects of maternal morphine consumption on embryonic neural plate development in Wistar rats were investigated. Methods: Twenty-four female Wistar rats (250-300 g) were crossed with males. After pregnancy...

clinical reproductive centers produce large amounts of surplus poor-quality embryos annually, how to maximize the use of these embryos, and which of them have the potential to develop into blastocyst stage and influencing factors were lack of systematic research. objective: to investigate the fate of surplus poor-quality embryos which were cultured to obtain blastocyst, determine the factors wh...
