The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of physical form of starter and alfalfa hay (AH) provision on growth performance, ruminal fermentation, and blood metabolites of Holstein dairy calves. Forty-four 3d-old Holstein dairy calves with a mean starting BW of 39.9 ± 1.1 kg were used in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. The factors were dietary forage level (0 or 150 g kg-1</sup...

250 Introduction: 564 Discussion: 1046

The peptide hormone somatostatin inhibits the release of insulin. The gene encoding somatostatin receptor 1 is expressed in pancreatic beta-cells and insulinoma RIN 1046-38 cells. In the present study the mechanisms underlying the regulation of the somatostatin receptor 1 gene in pancreatic beta-cells were investigated. Transient transfections of RIN 1046-38 cells with promoter/reporter gene co...

introduction : the aim of this study was to examine and compare the apical sealing ability of ah26, ah plus and ah plus jet using a fluid filtration model. materials and methods : 70 single-rooted teeth were dissected from the cement-enamel junction. canals were prepared with protaper rotary system and manual k files and irrigated with 5.25% naocl and 17% edta. ten teeth were assigned as contro...

i ntroduction: assessment of cellular cytotoxicity is a regular method for evaluating the biocompatibility of novel materials. in a recent study, 5% fluoride varnish (duraflur) has shown reasonable sealing ability and coverage of root canal walls when used as a sealer. the aim of the present study was to compare cytotoxicity of duraflur varnish with two popular commonly used root canal sealers ...
