We investigated GH action on macrophage (MΦ) by creating a MΦ-specific receptor-null mouse model (MacGHR KO). On normal diet (10% fat), MacGHR KO and littermate controls exhibited similar growth profiles glucose excursions intraperitoneal (ipGTT) insulin tolerance (ITT) tests. However, when challenged with high fat (HFD, 45% fat) for 18 weeks, mice impaired ipGTT ITT compared controls. In KO, adipose-tissue (AT) MΦ abundance was increased skewing toward M1 polarization. Expression of...
Background Knowledge of coronary sinus (CS) anatomy and its variations is one the important factors determining final position left ventricle pacing lead during cardiac resynchronization therapy. Methods Coronary venous system anatomy, including number, diameter, opening angles tributaries, was studied in 50 normal formalin‐fixed adult cadaveric hearts . Results Thebesian valve (TV) Vieussens were present 64% 60% cases, respectively. CS ostium coverage ≥75% by TV seen 25% (8/32) cases....
Objectives : Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood problem requiring stimulant medications in significant proportion of cases. The aim this pilot study was to assess the effects prolonged medication therapy on continuous performance test, Test Variables (TOVA), which measures objectively features ADHD. Methods Eighteen children aged 8 16 years who were diagnosed with ADHD, based Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Mental Disorders 4th edn criteria, included...
Group B streptococci (GBS) are encapsulated, β-hemolytic bacteria that a common cause of infections in human newborns and certain adults. Two factors important for GBS virulence the sialic acid capsular polysaccharide promotes immune evasion hemolytic pigment induces host cell cytotoxcity. These often oppositely regulated by CovR/CovS two-component system. Clinical strains exhibiting hyperhemolysis low capsule due to pathoadaptive covR/S mutations have been isolated from patients. Given...
Present study was conducted to assess the effect of vitamin E and zinc supplementation on milk yield, composition udder health in Sahiwal cows. Thirty-two pregnant cows were selected at sixty days prepartum divided into four groups namely control, T1, T2 T3 eight each. Cows under T1 supplemented with Zn (60 ppm), while those (1000IU); a combination (1000 IU) ppm) during day 60 90 postpartum. After calving, yield experimental animals recorded daily up 120 lactation. Milk samples collected...
The present study was conducted to explore the effect of vitamin E and zinc on oxidative stress antioxidant enzymes during transition period in Karan Fries cows. Sixteen crossbred cows with confirmed pregnancy were selected two months before expected date calving. cross bred randomly distributed groups: eight kept as control supplemented @ 1000 IU 60 ppm. Vitamin supplementation started from prepartum postpartum. Blood samples collected days -60, -45, -30, -15, -7, 0, + 7, 15, 30, 45 respect...
Paediatric and adolescent gynecology (PAG) is an evolving subspecialty, with patients often having to travel large distances access care.
