schizophrenia affects 1% of population. neonatal ventral hippocampus lesion (nvhl) model of schizophrenia designed in 1993 by lipska and is a widely studied developmental animal model of schizophrenia. nvhl rats mimic many of the symptoms of schizophrenia in detail. we studied this model in molecular level and reelin expression in it. reelin is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that regulate...

mastitis is one of the most serious and costly diseases affecting dairy cattle production. in the present study, effects of a lactoferrin gene polymorphism (intron 6) on milk somatic cell count (scc) and subclinical mastitis was investigated in 121 holstein dairy cattle. two alleles of a and b and two genotypes of aa and ab were found in an ecori recognized single nucleotide polymorphism in int...

Urtica dioica is an important medicinal plant which is widely distributed in Mazandaran province (North of Iran). In this study for the first time Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) and Inter-simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers were used for detection of genetic polymorphism in Mazandaran nettle. Ten AFLP primer combinations and seventeen ISSR markers were utilized. AFLP produced 830...

Background.

Materials methods. Tes...

lactoferrin is a glycoprotein with molecular weight 80 kda iron-binding bond, which is composed of 690 amino acids. in most mammalian body fluids such as sweat, semen, tears, and saliva and milk neutrophil granules there. bovine lactoferrin gene be associated with susceptibility/resistance to mastitis and even with some economically important production traits. this study was carried out to det...

Early life stress predisposes to the development of psychiatric disorders. In this context the hippocampal formation is of particular interest, because it is affected by stress on the structural and cognitive level. Since little is known how early life stress is translated on the molecular level, we mimicked early life stress in mouse models and analyzed the expression of the glycoprotein Reeli...

Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most frequent form of partial epilepsy. Granule cell dispersion, resulting from aberrant neuronal migration in the hippocampus, is pathognomonic of MTLE. Reelin, a secreted neurodevelopmental glycoprotein has a crucial role in controlling the radial migration of neurons. Several animal studies have implicated Reelin in the MTLE pathogenesis. The aim o...

In this study, Substitution at codon Ser315 of katG gene, a reliable marker for isoniazid (INH) resistance was analyzed and compared by three molecular methods such as DNA  sequencing, polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) in 105 phenotypically resistant isolates obtained from various parts of Ind...

The GH gene and BMP15 gene have been used as candidate genes for ­marker-assisted selection in different livestock species. Random blood samples were obtained from 180 Zel sheep breed to study genetic polymorphism of these genes. DNA was extracted from blood samples and a 365 bp fragment from the exon V of the ovine growth hormone gene and a 312 bp region from exon II of BMP15 gene were amplifi...
