milk is often described as a complete food because it contains protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, and minerals. this study was performed to investigate risk factors affecting chemical and bacteriological quality of bulk tank milk. according to the following conducted experiments, the milk was divided into two standard and non-standard groups. then, effect of risk factors on making the samples non-s...

background: pomegranate fruit (punica granatum l.) is a rich source of anthocyanin pigments resulting in vibrant colours and anti-oxidant contents. although the intensity and pattern of anthocyanin biosynthesis in fruit are strongly influenced by r2r3-myb transcription factors, little is known about the regulation and role of myb in anthocyanin pathway of pomegranate.objectives: the present stu...

conclusions cardiovascular risk factors were higher in subjects with diabetes compared to subjects without diabetes. lifestyle intervention programs should be focused on community education about reduction of cvd risk factors in patients with diabetes. background cardiovascular disease (cvd) is developing treacherously along industrialization and development of urbanization objectives the aim o...

results cloning was confirmed by pcr and restriction digestion. rt-pcr and sds-page represented expression of kgf in e. coli. the optimized expression was achieved 16 hours after induction with 0.3 mm iptg at 37°c in luria broth (lb) containing kanamycin. the 18 kda protein was confirmed by western blotting, using anti-his antibodies. conclusions the result of the present study indicated that e...

background: impact of high level of uric acid on stroke is still controversial. we conducted this study to investigate the relationship between acute ischemic non-embolic stroke and serum levels of uric acid. methods: this was a case-control study on patients with acute ischemic non-embolic stroke in rafsanjan, iran. the control group consisted of normal persons who were similar to the case gro...

thrombophilia increases the incidence of pulmonary thrombosis significantly. various hereditary and acquired factors are known for thromboembolism. the hereditary factors are two common genetic autosomal mutations including factor v leidan mutation and prothrombin gene mutation. a descriptive- analytical design was conducted on 60 patients with thromboembolism who met the inclusion criteria. tw...

low glucose condition induces neuronal cell-death via intracellular mechanisms including mitogen-activated protein kinases (mapk) signaling pathways. it has been shown that low glucose medium decreases neuronal survival in cerebellar granule neurons (cgns). in this study, we have examined the activation of jnk, p38kinase and erk1/2 pathways in low glucose medium in cgns. the cgns were prepared ...
