purpose: the present study aimed to investigate the effect of immobilization stress on the induction of diabetes mellitus in rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study 30 mature male rats with an average weight of 200-220 gr were randomly divided into three groups of ten each. group i served as the control while the experiment groups were group ii (10 days) and groups iii (30 days)...

in order to investigate the effect of different temperature of anesthetic (clove tree) and recover (anesthetic-free water) solutions on recovery process, the anesthetic induction times and recovery times of 540 fingerlings of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) weighing 3.2 ± 0.2 g in anesthesia/ recovery solutions with cross-combined of temperature of 5,11 and 17 °c as experimental treatments ...

blocking antibodies are valuable tools for inhibiting the specific receptor- ligand interactions. the interaction of co-stimulatory molecules on the antigen presenting cells with their ligands on t cells is an essential step for t cell activation. in the present study, the effect of blocking antibody against cd40 on its t cell stimulatory potential is investigated. the dcs (dendritic cells) wer...

A self-regulated high-copy number plasmid containing chloramphenicol resistant gene, for the production of recombinant proteins under the regulation of bacteriophage ?pL promoter, was constructed. The designed 5024 base pair expression plasmid contained a heat sensitive repressor cI857 coding gene to regulate the function of ?pL promoter under heat shock induction. Using the constructed vector,...

The antioxidant activities of TBHQ, BHT and tocopherol mixtures at different concentrations (0, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg) have been evaluated by the application of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Rancimat apparatus. Rancimat apparatus that measures the secondary oxidation products was set at 110 ⁰C with an air flow of 18-20 L/h to measure the induction period (IP) of the samples. The DSC...

The production of zinc sulfate is important both medically and agriculturally. If zinc sulfate is produced without agglomeration at the nanoscale, its absorption in the body is more and faster. In this research, the induction time parameter is assessed for nucleation of zinc sulfate nanoparticles at room temperature and various supersaturations using acetone (as anti-solve...

background: the present study was conducted to investigate the optimized timing for macrophages induction and nitric oxide (no) production against invading leishmania parasite. methods: the present study examined the murine macrophage cell line, b10r, in three different states. in the first state, the cells were first infected with l. major and then treated with ifn-g and lps as stimulants. in ...
