A 15-day study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Artemia metanauplii enriched with two commercial supplements (Easy DHA-Selco and S. presso) which contained high levels of n–3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n–3 LC-PUFA) on growth performance, stress resistance and fatty acid profile of Litopenaeus vannamei post larvae (PL). In this regard, PL were fed with three different types ...

Abstract Assessing groundwater vulnerability to contamination is vital worldwide, particularly in sustainable water resources management. That mainly a concern fractured media urban areas due large diversity of contaminant sources and the complexity recharge pathways. Thus, assessment essential delineate protection zones around springs or wellheads. Furthermore, it considers system’s heterogene...

in this work, we describe an adjunction between the comma category of set-based monads under the v -powerset monad and the category of associative lax extensions of set-based monads to the category of v -relations. in the process, we give a general construction of the kleisli extension of a monad to the category of v-relations.

The efficacy and selectivity of chaotropic and phase-partitioning procedures for the extraction of membrane proteins from Brucella ovis were compared with a standard Sarkosyl method. Major group 1, 2 and 3 outermembrane proteins (OMPs) of B. ouis stained by Coomassie blue in SDS-PAGE gels had, respectively, apparent molecular masses of 81/82 kDa, 39-41 kDa and 3&32 kDa. The presence of these ba...

The rod-shaped Schizosaccharomyces pombe cell grows in a polarized fashion from opposing ends. Correct positioning of the growth zones is directed by the polarity marker Tea1 located at the cell ends where actin patches accumulate and cell growth takes place. We show that the S. pombe homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SLA2, a protein involved in cortical actin organization and endocytosis, ...

The sympathetic nervous system regulates cardiac function through the activation of adrenergic receptors (ARs). beta(1) and beta(2)ARs are the primary sympathetic receptors in the heart and play different roles in regulating cardiac contractile function and remodeling in response to injury. In this study, we examine the targeting and trafficking of beta(1) and beta(2)ARs at cardiac sympathetic ...

In addition to its well-known role as an adipostat in adult mammals, leptin has diverse physiological and developmental actions in vertebrates. Leptin has been shown to promote development of hypothalamic circuits and to induce mitosis in different brain areas of mammals. We investigated the ontogeny of leptin mRNA, leptin actions on cell proliferation in the brain, and gene expression in the p...
