Aims To examine the relationship between lipid profile and non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), compare the predictive strengths of different lipid indicators to NAFL, and explore the possible mechanisms.Methods Male workers from a baseline survey of a cohort of workers in southern China were included.Basic information was collected through face-to-fa
Transcription rates of the genes AtKu70, AtRAD51, AtRad1, involved in maintaining Arabidopsis thaliana genome stability, in relation to the modification of phenotypic characteristics in irradiated plants and their progeny after the action of SWORDS acute and fractionated X-ray radiation were studied.Differences in the transcription rate were measur
Complex genitalia occur in many arthropods and in some species extreme female morphologies lead to serious mechanical difficulties for males.Tephritid flies offer examples of such complex genitalia.Because of their economic importance and the extensive use of sterile male releases for tephritid control in Texas and Mexico, studies have been done on
