The major unsolved problem of descriptive population genetics is an adequate specification the genetic difference between two closely related species as compared to populations same species. Traditional analyses deal with distribution allele frequencies and within populations. From these several measures structure can be estimated, one most widely used being distance measures. Genetic degree gene (genomic difference) or that measured by some numerical method. have already been established...

Objective . This study aims to evaluate whether alpha-lipoic acid and/or coenzyme Q 10 can protect the prepubertal ovarian tissue from ischemia-reperfusion injury in an experimental rat model of torsion.
