Present knowledge of how the microcirculation is altered by prolonged exposure to hypoxia at high altitude is incomplete and modification of existing analytical techniques may improve our knowledge considerably. We set out to use a novel simplified method of measuring in vivo capillary density during an expedition to high altitude using a CytoCam incident dark field imaging video-microscope. Th...

There is evidence of adverse health impacts from human exposure to traffic-related ultrafine particulate matter pollution. As more commuters are spending a significant portion of their daily routine inside vehicles, it is increasingly relevant to study exposure levels to harmful pollutants inside the vehicle microenvironment. This study is one of the first research efforts to combine detailed f...

rol insects and ectoparasites viz., Hemiptera, particularly aphids, poglycaemia, hypoproteinemia, The present article was conducted to review the various pharmaceutical, environmental exposure and through feed on poultry Heavy metals possess high density and toxicity towards living beings. -8713 IJPRBS

the objective of this research was to investigate the influence of the over-expression of recombinant interferon-g during high cell density cultivation on cellular characteristics of recombinant e. coli. batch and fed-batch culture techniques were employed to grow escherichia coli bl21 for production of human gamma-interferon in pet expression system. final cell densities in batch and fed-batch...

background: cholesteryl ester transfer protein (cetp) plays a main role in high-density lipoprotein metabolism. cetp gene possesses several single nucleotide polymorphisms which have been associated with plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c) concentrations. the aim of this study was to determine the association of cetp -629c/a and i405v polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (...

BACKGROUND Acute Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection could lead to atherogenic lipid profile changes in adults; while there is no evidence about the children with Infectious mononucleosis (IM). The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile of the children in acute phase of mononucleosis and two months after the recovery. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2010 through 2012, 36 children with ...

OBJECTIVE Levels of lipids and (apo)lipoproteins are known to increase after menopause, but it is unknown whether the genetic and environmental variability alters or whether lipids and (apo)lipoproteins are influenced by different genes before and after menopause. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 453 monozygotic and 1280 dizygotic pairs of female white twins recruited from the St. Thomas' UK Ad...

Measures of socioeconomic status have been shown to be related positively to levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in white men and women and negatively in African American men. However, there is little information regarding the association between educational attainment and HDL fractions or apolipoproteins. The authors examined these associations in 9,407 white and 2,664 African...

Results of previous laboratory studies suggest that high population density often buffers the effects of chemical stressors that predominately increase mortality. Mortality stressors act to release more resources for the survivors and, therefore, produce less-than-additive effects. By contrast, growth stressors are expected to have opposite results or more-than-additive effects. We investigated...
