Phthalates are plastic-derived contaminants that are ubiquitous in natural environments and function as pro-oxidants. The extent to which phthalates bioaccumulate in wild animals and associations with oxidative stress are poorly understood. Here, we describe relationships between maternally-derived phthalates, lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde,…[Read more]

te results, only quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) that showed repeatability (i.e., those detected at least twice using different methods or environments) were considered. Forty-eight QTNs detected for the nine minerals showed repeatability and were considered reliable. Pleiotropic QTNs and overlapping genomic regions surrounding the QTNs were…[Read more]

tandard, as well as considerations for developing countries, are presented.The resistance of Rhipicephalus microplus to acaricides is a serious control problem, so its early diagnosis by a molecular technique is important. This study aims to develop a multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for single-nucleotide polymorphisms…[Read more]

Animal and proof-of-principle human studies suggest that cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation may suppress seizures in drug-resistant focal epilepsy. The present study tests the safety, tolerability, and effect size of repeated daily cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation in epilepsy have not been established, limiting…[Read more]

The loop substitution successfully changed the carbohydrate selectivity of xgalectin-Va and xgalectin-Ib.Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has caused a global pandemic in the past year, which poses continuing threat to human beings. To date, more than 3561 mutations in the viral spike protein were…[Read more]
