The presence of higher level of exogenous growth hormone (GH) in transgenic animals could lead to several physiological alterations. A GH transgenic zebrafish (Danio rerio) line was compared to nontransgenic (NT) samples of the species through a DDRT-PCR approach, with the goal of identifying candidate differentially expressed transcripts in brain tissues that could be involved in GH overexpres...

The fluoride has volcanic activity and abundantly exists in environment combining with other elements as fluoride compounds. Recent researches indicated that the molecular mechanisms of intracellular fluoride toxicity were very complex. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects on gene expression of chronic fluoride-induced damage is unknown, especially the detailed regulatory pr...

Reduction of stressors is an important goal in modern husbandry in order to improve economics of animal production, product quality, and animal welfare aspects. Therefore transport stress is one of the problems in pig production. Stress is the reaction of the body to a stimulus, which disturbs the normal homeostasis, physiological, and biochemical activities of an animal. The genetic events of ...

OBJECTIVE Shear stress is known to modulate gene expression. However, the molecular link between blood flow and long-time vessel adaptation is still unclear. In this study, the variations of gene expression by prolonged shear stress exposure was investigated in order to identify genes possibly involved in flow dependent vascular adaptation. METHODS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVE...

Causes of maternal mortality are bleeding, hypertension, infection, prolonged labor, and abortion. Bleeding is the highest cause death while labor lowest mortality. Other factors such as condition pregnant women with heart disease, tuberculosis or other diseases suffered by mother. This community service aims to Empower Posyandu Cadres through Increased Knowledge High-Risk Early Detection Pregn...

In colonies of Melipona scutellaris Latreille, 1811 workers can be found with four ganglion nerve cells, a morphological characteristic of the queen. It is hypothesized that these workers, called intercastes, or phenocopies, are phenotypically-like workers, but genotypically identical to queens due to this specific trait. Workers with the same number of ganglion as queens seem to be intercastes...

We have compared gene expression, using the Differential Display Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (DDRT-PCR) technique, by means of mRNA profile in Melipona scutellaris during ontogenetic postembryonic development, in adult worker, and in both Natural and Juvenile Hormone III-induced adult queen. Six, out of the nine ESTs described here, presented differentially expressed in the ...

Parkia pendula (Willd.) Walp. (Fabaceae) is a neotropical species of the genus Parkia more abundantly distributed in Central to South America. From the seeds of P. pendula a glucose/mannose specific lectin (PpeL) was isolated that has been characterised and used as a biotechnological tool but until now this is the first manuscript to analyse P. pendula mRNA expression in seedlings. For this por...
