Ceramide and diacylglycerol (DAG) may be involved in the early phase of insulin resistance but data are inconsistent in man. We evaluated if an increase in insulin sensitivity after endurance training was accompanied by changes in these lipids in skeletal muscle. Nineteen first-degree type 2 diabetes Offsprings (Offsprings) (age: 33.1 ± 1.4 yrs; BMI: 26.4 ± 0.4 kg/m2) and sixteen matched Contro...

Di-N-butylphthalate (DBP) is one of the most common endocrine-disrupting chemicals which can disrupt human endocrine system, especially in the male reproductive system. Here, this study was aimed to determine whether sulforaphane (SFN) could protect against testicular oxidative stress injury induced by DBP in male mice offsprings. Wild-type (Nrf2+/+) and Nrf2-deficient (Nrf2-/-) timed-pregnant ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different doses of mercury on fetal testis. In this investigation 20 adult female rats were divided in four groups. All animals became pregnant by natural mating. Mercuric oxide was induced in three groups by different doses (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/Kg/day) at 10 terminal days of pregnancy. After parturition, male offspring were reared for 60 days. At...

tyrosinemia type ii is a rare autosomal recessive disorder wich can present itself with recurrent epithelial keratitis, hyperkeratotic skin lesions and mental retardation. this article reports the rare occurrence of this disease in both offsprings (two brothers) of a family (consanguinous'marriage) who were managed with a lowprotein diet and a special regimen.

Abstract. We present a one-sex age-structured population dynamics deterministic model with a discrete set of offsprings, child care, environmental pressure, and spatial migration. All individuals have pre-reproductive, reproductive, and post-reproductive age intervals. Individuals of reproductive age are divided into fertile single and taking child care groups. All individuals of pre-reproducti...

We used nondenaturing polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis to examine the familial correlations of high density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses for 150 offspring in 47 nuclear families. The absorbance of protein stain was used as an index of mass concentrations at intervals of 0.01 nm within five HDL subclasses: HDL3c (7.2-7.8 nm), HDL3b (7.8-8.2 nm), HDL3a (8.2-8.8 nm), HDL2a (8.8-9.7 nm),...

As the oldest of four Midwestern boys who were offsprings of an accountant and a housewife, each with less than a formal high school degree, we were blessed to have such parents.[...].

objective(s):as far as we know,there has been no report regarding the effects of opium addiction or dependency of both parents on the learning and memory process in offspring. the aim of this study was to examine the learning and memory changes of adult male offspring whose mothers, fathers and/or both parents had dependency to opium before and during pregnancy. materials and methods: all exper...

Algorithms where offsprings (new search points) are generated according to the estimated probability model of the good parents are called the Probabilistic Model-Building Genetic Algorithms (PMBGAs). In this paper, a new model of PMBGA, Distributed PMBGA (DPMBGA), is proposed. In the DPMBGA, the correlation between the design variables is considered by PCA when the offsprings are generated. The...
