The purpose of the study was to investigate whether dietary ration or diet composition in£uence the relationship between plasma growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.). The pattern of changes in plasma GH and IGF-1 concentrations was examined in ¢sh fed at di¡erent ration levels (0%, 0.35% and 0.70%BWday ) for 5 weeks, and in ¢sh fed ...

The effects of diet composition and ration size on the activities of key enzymes involved in intermediary metabolism were studied in the liver of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). High-carbohydrate, low-protein diets stimulated 6-phosphofructo 1-kinase (EC 2.7.1.11), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.4...

Interferon combination therapy is treatment of choice for curing hepatitis C virus infection. Viral resistant to the therapy can be result of mutation in interferon sensitivity determining region of viral genome. In the current study, patient of 3a genotype was subjected to 48 weeks combination therapy (IFN-alpha-2b plus ribavirin). The patient showed high levels of viremia before, during and a...

Nanotechnology define the science and engineering providing entirely new tools and capabilities, concerned with the design, synthesis, characterization and application of materials and devices that have a functional organization in at least 1 dimension on the nanometer (one billionth of a meter) capable to interact with cells and tissues at a molecular sub cellular level with a high degree of f...

The general objective of this study was to come up with an appropriate, affordable and locally available crop residue supplementation package that would enhance reproductive performance in small ruminants. Specifically, 28 Red Sokoto weaner does between 3 and 4 months of age weighing between 2 and 3 kg were used in the first experiment to determine the influence of crop residue supplementation ...

In this paper, we investigate and discuss the problem how the abilities of computing and self-reproduction can be realized in a \reversible" environment, especially in reversible cellular automata (RCA). An RCA is a \backward deterministic" CA in which every conngu-ration of the cellular space has at most one predecessor. Such systems have a close connection to physical reversibility, and have ...

Iron-deficiency anemia is the nutritional deficiency most frequently occurring throughout the world, which manifests as a complex systemic disease involving all cells, affecting enzyme activities and modifying protein synthesis. In view of these considerations, the objective of the present study was to determine the effects of iron-deficiency anemia on disaccharidases and on the epithelial morp...

background & aim: hyper lipidemy is one of the main factors in progressing cardiovascular diseases. thymus deanensis celak and satureja bachtiarica bunge are medicinal herbs which are used in folklore medicine in iran. in this research, hypolipidemic effects of essential oils of these herbs in rats fed with a fatty diet were investigated.experimental: 40 male and femade adult rats (20 rats ...

Planar diodes fabricated with nano-structured silver oxide thin film show resistive switching effects. These structures can be programmed by voltage into two distinct resistive states and they are promising candidates for resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices. Cycle endurance on/off ration and charge retention are high. This wok provides insight into the mechanisms leading to the memory...
