conclusions regular aerobic exercise could increase plasma klotho levels, and this could be an explanation for exercise-related anti-aging effects. background klotho is an anti-aging protein that is predominantly secreted by the kidneys. objectives the aim of the study was to measure and compare the circulating klotho levels in the serum of trained athletes and in healthy, non-athlete controls....

enrichment of cell suspension with germ cells prior to injection into recipient seminiferous tubules is of importance in spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) transplantation. knock-out serum replacement (ksr) has been reported to enhance the proliferation of murine sscs and human embryonic stem cells. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ksr versus fetal bovine serum (fbs) ...

Serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (PTH) is increased in obese as compared with nonobese subjects and declines with weight loss. To determine whether alteration of the vitamin Dendocrine system occurs in obesity and whether ensuing secondary hyperparathyroidism is associated with a reduction in urinary calcium, a study was performed in 12 obese white individuals, five men and seven women,...

anti-human globulin was produced in iranian rabbits and goat by using human o serum mixed with freund's adjutants (complete or incomplete) for immunizing the animals. a titer of 1.4096 was obtained in rabbit and a titer of 1.2056 was obtained in goat. quality-and quantity-wise, goat's serum appeared to be better than rabbit's serum.
