Expression of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase is enhanced in Leishmania spp naturally resistant to nitric oxide
Authors: M.C. Rios, W.R.T. Silva, A.F. Azevedo, P.L. Santos, S.A. Teixeira, M.N. Muscar�¡, S.M. Thomazzi, R.P. Almeida, R.P.M. Fernandesand R. Scher
Leishmania spp are the causative agents of a spectrum of diseases termed leishmaniasis that affect mammals, including humans and dogs. Although reactive nitrogen species are employed in the control of parasitism by the immune system, it is known that Leishmania can withstand this oxidative stress. As the mechanism by which these species are resistant to n.. Read More»

Impact of early enteral and parenteral nutrition on prealbumin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein after gastric surgery
Authors: B. Li, H.-Y. Liu, S.-H. Guo, P. Sun, F.-M. Gong and B.-Q. Jia
We investigated the impact of early enteral nutrition (EEN) and parenteral nutrition (PN) on prealbumin (PA) and highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients after gastric cancer surgery. Sixty-eight selected patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery were randomly divided into the EEN (N = 34) and PN (N = 34) groups. Body weight (BW), serum al.. Read More»

Bayesian GGE biplot models applied to maize multi-environments trials
Authors: L.A. de Oliveira, C.P. da Silva, J.J. Nuvunga, A.Q. da Silva and M. Balestre
The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and the genotype main effects and genotype x environment interaction (GGE) models stand out among the linear-bilinear models used in genotype x environment interaction studies. Despite the advantages of their use to describe genotype x environment (AMMI) or genoty.. Read More»

Association between the C34T polymorphism of the AMPD1 gene and essential hypertension in Malaysian patients
Authors: R. Nemati, J. Lu, V. Ramachandran, A. Etemad, M. Heidari, M.J. Yahya, R. Roozafzoon and P. Ismail
The aim of this study was to determine whether C34T, a common polymorphism of the adenosine monophosphate deaminase 1 gene (AMPD1), is associated with essential hypertension (EH). We hypothesize that C34T is associated with the development of EH. A case-control design was used for this study. The DNA was extracted using a comm.. Read More»

Cloprostenol and pregnant mare serum gonadotropin promote estrus synchronization, uterine development, and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor expression in mice
Authors: S. Wei, Z. Gong, L. An, T. Zhang, H. Dai and S. Chen
This study investigated the effects of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and cloprostenol (CLO) on estrus induction and synchronization, uterine development, and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) expression in mice. A total of 105 Kunming pre-puberty mice were divided into seven subgroups. Three PMSG subgroups were injected intraperitonea.. Read More»

Bayesian forecasting of temporal gene expression by using an auto regressive panel data approach
Authors: M. Nascimento, F.F. e Silva, T. S�¡fadi, A.C.C. Nascimento, L.M.A. Barroso, L.S. Gl�³ria and B. de S. Carvalho
We propose and evaluate a novel approach for forecasting gene expression over non-observed times in longitudinal trials under a Bayesian viewpoint. One of the aims is to cluster genes that share similar expression patterns over time and then use this similarity to predict relative expression at time points of interest. Express.. Read More»

Differential gene expression in drought-tolerant sugarcane roots
Authors: J.S. Vantini, G.C. Dedemo, D.F. Jovino Gimenez, L.F.S. Fonseca, R.I.D. Tezza, M.A. Mutton, J.A. Ferro and M.I.T. Ferro
Drought is one of the most frequent abiotic stresses limiting the productivity and geographical distribution of sugarcane culture. The use of drought-tolerant genotypes is one approach for overcoming the effects of water stress. We conducted a comparative study to identify gene expression profiles under water stress in tolerant sugarcane roots. Two differ.. Read More»

Characterization of microRNAs from goat (Capra hircus) by Solexa deep-sequencing technology
Authors: Y.H. Ling, J.P. Ding, X.D. Zhang, L.J. Wang, Y.H. Zhang, Y.S. Li, Z.J. Zhang and X.R. Zhang
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important class of small noncoding RNAs that are highly conserved in plants and animals. Many miRNAs are known to mediate a myriad of cell processes, including proliferation and differentiation, via the regulation of some transcription and signaling factors, which are closely related to muscle development and disease. In this stu.. Read More»

Potential hippocampal genes and pathways involved in Alzheimer�s disease:a bioinformatic analysis
Authors: L. Zhang, X.Q. Guo, J.F. Chu, X. Zhang, Z.R. Yan and Y.Z. Li
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia in elderly people. Numerous studies have focused on the dysregulated genes in AD, but the pathogenesis is still unknown. In this study, we explored critical hippocampal genes and pathways that might potentially be involved in the pathogenesis of AD. Four t.. Read More»
