Stable stress-responsive models have been established in murine (Moloney) virus sarcomas, which lend themselves to further study of intervening immunological mechanisms. Maximum tumor size was increased in sex-segregated male BALB/c mice at 6 and 9 months of age and in females subjected to 3 days of electric shock stress following virus inoculation. Reduction in maximum tumor size was found in ...

This study examined developmental differences in infants' salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) and cortisol levels and responses to the well-baby exam/inoculation stress protocol at 2, 6, 12, and 24 months of age. Mother-infant pairs (n=85; 45 girls) were assessed during well-baby visits and saliva was sampled before the well-baby exam/inoculation procedure (pre-test) and at 5, 10, and 20 min post-inoc...

background: vision impairment in children is one of the most severe disabilities that cause stress in parents. therefore, it seems necessary to establish and conduct interventions for controlling parenting stress and preventing its negative consequences. this study aimed to investigate the effect of life skills training (lst) program on parenting stress of mothers with blind children aged 7 to ...

With the increasing demand for alternative solutions to replace or optimize use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, inoculation bacteria that can contribute growth health plants (PGPR) is essential. The properties classically sought in PGPR are production phytohormones other growth-promoting molecules, more rarely exopolysaccharides. We compared effect two strains exopolysaccharide-produci...

Abstract Salinization of agricultural lands, particularly rice paddies, results in the drastic decline crop yields. Soil salinization impacts plant physiology by inducing salt stress which may leads to osmotic stress, ionic and water-related nutrient imbalance. These imbalances necessitate need for plants produce osmolytes including proline glycine betaine. This study aimed elucidate dynamic ch...

Background: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have the potential to optimize the rhizospheric soil characteristics considerably thereby affecting plant growth. Objectives: The aim is to investigate the effects of fungi inoculation (Glomus intraradices) on morphological, physiological and phytochemical traits of Rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis L.) under salt stress. Methods: A factorial...

abstract plants are exposed to stressful environmental conditions in the process of growth and development. one of the most important stresses is the salt stress which can limit the plant’s growth and yield. plants symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in salt conditions can affect the plant’s yield as well as growth parameters. the plant’s growth in salt stressful conditions might be red...

aim and background: previous studies suggest that mental stress may influence serum lipid levels. this study was conducted on adult population living in rural and urban areas in central iran to assess the correlation between stress levels and lipid profile disorders. methods and materials: data was extracted from final evaluation of isfahan healthy heart program (ihhp) in 2008. multistage clust...
