In addition to yield loss, salinity stress also affects fruit quality, reducing fruit size, altering the sugar-acid balance, and, in severe cases, compromising marketability. While some salinity can enhance Total Soluble Solids (TSS), excessive levels lead to small, unmarketable fruit with poor ...
Over the last 5 years, disorders of nonmotile cilia have come of age and their study has contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cell biology and human genetics. This review summarizes the main features of the ciliopathies, their underlying genetics, and the functions of the proteins in...
The evolution of a system consisting of many atoms can also be simulated by using the stochastic nature of atom-level events. As we saw in the previous section, all atoms that belong in the same structure (or the same thermodynamic ensemble) are moving constantly in accord with Newton's law...
5C). Thus, the effect of chicory was less pronounced during single-dose acute infection than with the low-dose trickle infection which may reflect the high level of immunity induced by this infection regime [28]. Taken together, these data indicate that inclusion of 10% chicory into a ...
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), noted for its widespread prevalence among adults, has become the leading chronic liver condition globally. Simultaneously, the annual disease burden, particularly liver cirrhosis caused by NAFLD, has increased s
An improvement of Child-Pugh score (resulting from decrease in bilirubin level and improvement of ascites and endotoxemia) and a trend toward lower endotoxin levels was observed, although the results were not statistically significant. In the E. coli Nissle treated group an increase of colon...
the proportion of deaths from IHD and ischaemic stroke that would have been prevented if non-HDL cholesterol levels were at an optimal level (defined as a mean of 1.8–2.2 mmol l−1) in the population6,49. For these calculations, we used age-specific relative risks from meta-analyses of...
Interestingly, obese and NAFLD patients had a reduced level of P. distasonis.38,39 Additionally, we recently discovered that supplementation with P. distasonis prevented the rapid weight rebound after calorie restriction by increased non-12OH BA-mediated adipocyte thermogenesis.40 Given the beneficial ...
A two-sided student's t-test was used to compare averages between groups; the p values are indicated. FIG. 13 is a plot that shows results for sequence analysis of TALEN stimulated HDR alleles. The count of perfect, intended HR reads versus the wild type reads is plotted for insertion ...
In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method for improving viability of an embryo grown in a culture medium in vitro, the method comprising reducing in the culture medium the level of an miRNA selected from the group consisting of bta-mir-2887, bta-miR-24-3p, ssc-miR-22, PC...
