For the purpose of evaluating the effect of chitosan on seed germination and some biochemical characteristics of the milk thistle herb in the conditions of salinity, an experiment was conducted as factorial in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications in the Laboratory of Seed Science and Technology of Shahed University, Tehran i
HP inulin-MCT dietary fiber improves lipid metabolism and prevents non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in obese mice
Introduction: Regular intake of dietary fiber (DF) can counteract the negative impacts of obesity on physical health and chronic disease risk.DF mitigates obesity by promoting fullness, reducing calories, slowing nutrient absorption, stabilizing glucose, preventing fat storage, and influencing gut microbiota.High-performance (HP) inulin, a highly f
Isolation of serotype-specific antibodies against dengue virus non-structural protein 1 using phage display and application in a multiplexed serotyping assay.
The multidimensional nature of dengue virus (DENV) infections, which can be caused by four distinct serotypes of the virus, complicates the sensitivity of assays designed for the diagnosis of infection.Different viral markers can be optimally detected at different stages of infection.Of particular clinical importance is the early identification of
The novel two-component system AmsSR governs alternative metabolic pathway usage in Acinetobacter baumannii
In this study, we identify a novel two-component system in Acinetobacter FR Pants baumannii (herein named AmsSR for regulator of alternative metabolic systems) only present in select gammaproteobacterial and betaproteobacterial species.Bioinformatic analysis revealed that the histidine kinase, AmsS, contains 14 predicted N-terminal transmembrane do
