caspian miniature horse is a rare small horse in iran. in this horse, brachiocephalic trunk originates from the craniodorsal of the convex part of the aortic arch. it supplies the head, neck, forelimbs and cranial part of the thoracic cavity. in this reseach topographical location of brachiocephalic trunk arising from the aorta and its ramifications have been studied. five caspian miniature hor...

Interrelationships, origin and phylogenetic affinities of brown trout Salmo trutta populations from the southern Caspian Sea basin, Orumieh and Namak Lake basins in Iran were analysed from complete mtDNA control region sequences, 12 microsatellite loci and morphological characters. Among 129 specimens from six populations, seven haplotypes were observed. Based on mtDNA haplotype data, the Orumi...

INTRODUCTION Our aim was to compare changes of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) curves of Iranian children by comparing the results of two national surveys of a surveillance program, i.e. CASPIAN-I (2003-2004) and CASPIAN-III (2009-2010). The second objective was to evaluate the prevalence of obesity, overweight and underweight among 10-18-year-old Iranian children and adolesc...

in order to study the anatomy and histology of the testis and epididymis of caspian miniature horse, five adult stallions were used. routine anatomical and histological methods were used. anatomical study indicated that there were no differences between the testis and epididymis of the caspian miniature horse with the ordinary horse, except with the smaller sizes. the epididymis is attached to ...

Polymorphisms in the cytochrome P (CYP) 450 family may cause adverse drug responses in individuals. Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) is a member of the CYP family, where the presence of the 681 G>A, 636 G>A and 806 C>T polymorphisms result in the CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3 and CYP2C19*17 alleles, respectively. In the current study, the frequency of the CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3 and CYP2C19*17 alleles in an ...

blood samples were collected from 20 healthy miniature caspian horses at 37 °c. isolation of cryoglobulin was performed based on a standard method in present study. harvested sera were kept at 4 °c for two hours and then examined for cryoglubolin. four serum samples containing precipitate suspicious of containing cryoglobulin were selected. subsequently serum protein electrophoresis was perform...

Traditionally, Capoeta populations from the southern Caspian Sea basin have been considered as Capoeta capoeta gracilis. Study on the phylogenetic relationship of Capoeta species using mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences show that Capoeta population from the southern Caspian Sea basin is distinct species and receive well support (posterior probability of 100%). Based on the tree topologie...

to finding out the genetic structure of iranian native horses, as animal blood samples were obtained from diverse areas of iran, in addition, 114 sequences of equine d-loop region were obtained from genbank. total dna of the samples were extracted through salting out procedure and utilized as template for amplification and sequencing of the d-loop region of mtdna. sequence analysis of the 247-b...
