BACKGROUND Compound A (CpdA) is a dissociating non-steroidal glucocorticoid receptor (GR) ligand which has anti-inflammatory properties exerted by down-modulating proinflammatory gene expression. By favouring GR monomer formation, CpdA does not enhance glucocorticoid (GC) response element-driven gene expression, resulting in a reduced side effect profile as compared to GCs. Considering the impo...

in an eight-week time period, the implications of pediococcus acidilactici, as a probiotic, were examined on growth index and the activity of gastric enzymes of aequidens rivulatus (green terror) (0.388±0.0021) in a completely randomized system. the fishes were input into nine oval-shaped ponds of 120 liters capacity with the density of about 60 pieces per pond, and fed twice a day. this study ...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether unilateral, intraovarian infusions of bacteria might have induced morphological changes in the contralateral ovary. Eleven sexually matured gilts with controlled estrous cycle were used. The animals were randomly divided into two groups: I (Gr. I, treated; n = 4), and II (Gr. II, control; n = 7). In Gr. I, 1 ml of bacterial suspension (10(3) colo...

The bile salt export pump (BSEP, ABCB11) is predominantly responsible for the efflux of bile salts, and disruption of BSEP function is often associated with altered hepatic homeostasis of bile acids and cholestatic liver injury. Accumulating evidence suggests that many drugs can cause cholestasis through interaction with hepatic transporters. To date, a relatively strong association between dru...

The twentieth century has witnessed a process of significant transition of the Syrian Christian community in Kerala in terms of its demographic and socio-economic status. In this paper, the transition of the demographic structure is discussed in terms of size, composition, geographic distribution and growth rates and the underlying factors of transition comprising fertility, mortality, and migr...

Abstract Colossoma macropomum is freshwater fish which has a great demand in Indonesia. However, cultivation of C. still developing. requires good quality seeds to support the success aquaculture. The exhausted egg yolks macopomum larvae require appropriate and high-nutrient feed intake through enrichment with addition natural nutrients ( Moina sp.). This study aimed evaluate effect additional ...
