Genetic studies have emphasized the contrast between North African and sub‐Saharan populations, but particular affinities of mtDNA pool to that Europe, Near East, Africa not previously been investigated. We analysed 268 control‐region sequences from various Northwest populations including several Senegalese groups compared these with database. identified a few mitochondrial motifs are geographically specific likely predate distribution diversification modern language families in West Africa....
The diversity and phylogenetic relationships of specimens in the brown algal genus Cystoseira sensu lato from eastern Atlantic Mediterranean were examined using DNA sequences for four genetic markers (psbA, mt23S, cox1 nad1). Our results provide evidence to resolve most species documented as three clades that are interpreted here representing genera. Morphological studies confirmed distinctness genera identified characters distinguish species. One clade corresponds stricto, including type C....
Abstract The indigenous population of the Canary Islands, which colonized archipelago around 3 rd century CE, provides both a window into past North Africa and unique model to explore effects insularity. We generate genome-wide data from 40 individuals seven islands, dated between –16 centuries CE. Along with components already present in Moroccan Neolithic populations, Canarian natives show signatures related Bronze Age expansions Eurasia trans-Saharan migrations. lack gene flow islands...
Although the Canary Islands were settled by humans, possibly of Berber origin, as late 2500 years ago, precise course and numbers early migrations to archipelago remain controversial. We have therefore analysed mtDNA variation (HVS‐I well selected RFLP sites) in 300 individuals from seven Islands. The distribution across islands a specific clade Northwest African ancestry suggest that there was one dominant initial settlement process affected all islands, east west. This indicates certain...
Summary Nucleotide sequences of the hypervariable segment I control region mtDNA were determined in 101 individuals: 54 Canary Islanders, 18 North African Berbers, Spanish mainlanders and 11 sub‐Saharan Guineans. In spite fact that only members Fang tribe analysed, nucleotide diversity Guineans (θ× 100 = 2·33)is one highest found populations. Estimates genetic contribution to Canarians from their putative parental populations based on (43·25 ± 1·38% 35·54 0·55% Spanish, 21·21 1·92% Guineans)...
Are neurokinin B (NKB), NK3 receptor (NK3R), kisspeptin (KISS1) and (KISS1R) expressed in human ovarian granulosa cells? The NKB/NK3R kisspeptin/KISS1R systems are co-expressed functionally active cells. KISS1/KISS1R essential for reproduction. In addition to their well-recognized role hypothalamic neurons, these peptide may contribute the control of fertility by acting directly on gonads, but such a direct gonadal remains largely unknown. This study analyzed matched mural cells (MGCs)...
Abstract Introduction Substance P (SP) is a member of the tachykinin family neuropeptides, which are widely distributed throughout central nervous system (CNS) and actively involved in inflammatory processes. SP released early following acute injury to CNS, promoting neurogenic response characterized by an increase permeability blood–brain barrier development vasogenic edema. High levels could lead exacerbated that be fatal for patients with traumatic brain (TBI). Thus, main goal present...
