background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is a complex disease having both genetic and environmental components and candidate genes on obesity and insulin metabolism have been hypothesized to be involved in its etiology. objective: we examined the possible association of adiponectin and insulin receptor gene polymorphisms with pcos. materials and methods: a total of 186 women with pcos using...

Bovine somatotropin (bST) increases milk production in dairy animals. The maximum increase in milk production has been observed up to 41%. Somatotropin did not change milk composition significantly. During short-term application of bST, cows mobilized their body-reserves to support the increased milk production. Although DM intake of cows was increased in the long-term applications, however, gr...

Background: Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are two major clinical presentations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Many novel candidate genes have been found to be associated with increased risk for IBD. Recently IL-23 receptor gene is identified as an IBD associated gene in genome-wide studies. Objective: To ascertain whether rs7517847 and rs1004819 SNPs in the IL-23 recept...

Targeted treatment with somatostatin analogues (SA) in acromegaly and neuroendocrine neoplasms may have some benefits compared to curative treatments, because these agents decrease excessive hormone secretion exert a tumor-suppressive effect. Monotherapy combination therapy SA is well tolerated bears no risk of debilitating iatrogenic complications. In caused by somatotropin producing pituitary...

conclusions the cd4+ and cd8+ tcr vβ gene families undergo clonal expansion in cshb patients, and cd8+ t cells play a major role in the pathogenesis of cshb. moreover, the conserved motifs and limited use of joining region genes observed in the cshb patients of this cohort indicated that similar antigenic epitopes are recognized. results the number of oligoclonal or monoclonal expansion tcr vβ ...

Objective: The burden of obesity is currently enormous, necessitating a novel strategy to complement the existing ones. Accordingly, genetic predisposition is suspected in many cases of the disease, which can potentially be used as therapeutic targets. However, there are differing viewpoints on the suspect genes, prompting the current review to articulate the genes and their mechanisms. Eight (...

Immunochemical relatedness of preparations of purified somatotropins (growth hormones) of somatotropins in pituitary extracts from various vertebrate species was investigated by applying an antiserum to a purified somatotropin from a submammalian species, the snapping turtle. With the exception of monkey somatotropin, all mammalian, reptilian, and avian preparations tested showed reactions of i...
