Many efforts have been made to develop effective culture conditions for the production of bovine blastocysts. Growth hormone (GH) and glucose are known to affect in vitro embryo development. To improve in vitro culture conditions, the culture medium containing fetal calf serum (FCS) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) was supplemented with GH at various periods of development, and the effects of GH o...

the mrna expression of growth hormone (gh) gene in early development stages of siberian sturgeon was investigated using rt-pcr method. samples were collected from unfertilized eggs up to 50 days post hatched (dph) larvae in 11 different times. ribosomal protein l6 (rpl6) transcripts were used as the internal standard during quantification of gh mrna expression. the results showed that the gh mr...

Background and objectives This controlled single-blind trial compared the efficacy of a lip balm with propolis special extract GH 2002 at a concentration of 0.5% in the treatment of episodes of herpes labialis with that of 5% aciclovir cream. Methods Patients in the erythematous/papular stage were randomized: 189 patients were treated with propolis cream, 190 patients were treated with aciclo...

Harassment of Working Women, Catharine MacKinnon notes that men’s victimization of women “is sufficiently pervasive in American society as to be nearly invisible” (1979:1). Since the publication of her book, sexual harassment has become increasingly visible, and variants of MacKinnon’s broad sociocultural explanation have gained broad acceptance (Schultz 2001; MacKinnon 2002; Tangri, Burt, and ...

Growth hormone (GH) recently has been shown to be expressed in the neonatal rat lung during alveolarization. The possible functional importance of lung GH in lung function, therefore, has been assessed by determining changes in GH-responsive proteins in the developing rat lung after the overexpression of the GH gene in this tissue. GH overexpression was achieved using an adenovirus that express...

the siberian sturgeon (acipenser baerii) is an economically important species. sturgeon stockassessment during fingerling production is considered to be one of the most difficult phases ofhatchery rearing. the present study investigated the expression of growth hormone (gh)mrna in unfertilized eggs, fertilized eggs, eyed eggs (2 day before hatching), non-viable eggsand newly-hatched siberian st...

zeinab fatemi amin phd student (economic sociology and development) majid fouladiyan phd student (theoretical cultural sociology) the main issue in this paper is two-way causal relationship between educational efficiency in any country and the development in society; it means while education in any society is affected by different levels of development, also as a independent variable influences...

A A c c c c o o u u n n t t s s Following the theme of August's ASA conference in Montréal, Great Divides, Transgress-ing Boundaries, our goal for this issue of Accounts is to foster a discussion of the boundaries between economic sociology and other areas within sociology. Economic sociology has expanded very rapidly in recent years, with explosions in section membership, publications, and oth...

Introduction: This research was aimed at examining acute responses of hormones such as growth hormone (GH), total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT), free fatty acid (FFA) and cortisol to resistance (R), endurance (E) and endurance-resistance (ER) exercise. Methods: The participants of this study were 10 healthy young men. R protocol included bench press, lateral pull down, leg exten...

To define the role of GH during central nervous system development, we performed studies in cultured rat cerebral cortical cells from 14- (E14) and 17-d-old embryos (E17). The expression of GH receptor, IGF-I receptor, and IGF-I mRNAs was confirmed. In E17, GH increased total cell number (3.9-fold), [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation (3.5-fold), proliferating cell nuclear antigen levels (2.5-fold),...
