Cells of the nonfusing muscle cell line BC3H1 stop proliferating and express a family of muscle-specific proteins when the FBS concentration is reduced from 20 to 0.5% (Munson, R., K.L. Caldwell, and L. Glaser. 1982. J. Cell Biol. 92:350-356). Several growth factors have been shown to block differentiation in this cell line. To begin to investigate the potential role of G proteins in signal tra...

Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium species frequently contaminate crops. For this reason mycotoxins such as afl atoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisins (FBs), and zearalenone (ZEA) are found in food and feed in a wide range of concentrations, depending on environmental and storage conditions. Consumption of mycotoxin-contaminated food and feed has been associated with acute and chroni...

Use of oocytes from prepubertal animals for in vitro embryo production holds potential application for reducing generation intervals and increasing genetic progress through embryo transfer. The objective of these studies was to compare the effect of three sperm pretreatments (prior to in vitro fertilization) and seven embryo culture protocols on fertilization rate and (or) subsequent developmen...

background: eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) is the principal ω-3 fatty acids in marine oils. fasting blood sugar (fbs), hba1c and some of the plasma lipids and lipoproteins has been negatively related to the intake of ω-3 fatty acids and ascorbic acid, in some studies. therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of epa and/or vitamin c on glycemic indices, blood pressure, and pla...

The serum levels of trace elements alterations have been linked with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2 DM) and its complication. Objectives this study is to detect the correlation relation between Chromium, Magnesium (Mg), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe) Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) in patients type two diabetes mellitus, also comparison Ferroxidase, Transferrin, Total iron binding capacity control g...

Daniel Aghion, MD, Pradeep Chopra, MD, Adetokunbo A. Oyelese, MD, PhD  approximately 250,000 surgeries for low back pain are performed annually in the USA. Approximately 40% of patients undergoing lumbar surgery continue to report significant pain after surgery, and a significant portion of these will result in failed back syndrome (FBS). FBS is defined as persistent or recurrent chronic pain ...
