isolation of rat islets of langerhans was carried out by using collagenase and the destruction of exocrine tissue was performed through the injection of hanks' solution into the common bile duct. the identification of the islets was done by techniques including the use of a stereomicroscope against a black background. vital staining was done by an injection of neutral red solution through ...

Objective(s): Zinc is an effective factor in the reproductive system. Insulin resistance (IR) is known as an important disorder in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which controls key cell activities, in particular, is activated in disorders such as PCOS. The present study was conducted to observe the therapeutic effe...

Background and Objectives: Genetic modifications in the adiponectin receptor 2 (AdipoR2) gene can affect phenotypes associated with insulin resistance and diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible role of genetic modifications in the AdipoR2 gene, to determine the frequency of genotypes and polymorphism alleles of this gene at rs11061971 (+219 A>T), and to investigate its...

Molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in livestock. The insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. The objectives of the present study were the estimate the haplotype frequencies of the IGF-I gene polymorphisms i...

Background and objectivesToday, medicinal plants phytobiotics that contain flavonoids, alkaloids, essential oils are widely used in animal feed. These additives have many benefits, including increasing liver function preventing certain diseases. The is one of the organs plays a key role insulin-mediated regulation metabolism as well glucose, whole-body, lipid homeostasis. aim this study was to ...

Abstract Background 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (Vit.D) levels associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) may vary according to genetic variants in the vitamin receptor (VDR) gene. However, existing results are not conclusive Egyptian population, where diabetes mellitus is a common CVD risk factor. The purpose of study was evaluate role VDR polymorphism patients by studying association rs2228570 ( Fo...
