AIM: To investigate the role of adipokines in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) by comparing the levels of these molecules in the aqueous humor Grill Pans among POAG patients and cataract patients with or without metabolic disorders.METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, aqueous humor samples of 22 eyes of POAG patients (POAG group), 24 eyes of c
Pathogens have developed multiple strategies that allow them to exploit host resources and resist the immune response.To study how Drosophila flies deal with infectious diseases in a natural context, we investigated the interactions between Drosophila and a newly identified entomopathogen, Pseudomonas entomophila.Flies orally infected with P.entomo
The experiments were carried out to study the effect of salt-stresses and ABA on the growth, photosynthesis and translocation of assimilates in bean plants.It was planed to reduce the content of GA3 and cytokinins and increase ABA content in salinized plants.The results show that salt-stress (NaCl and concentrated nutrient solution), reduce all the
SREBP1 and 2, are cholesterol sensors able to modulate cholesterol-related gene expression responses.SREBPs binding sites are characterized by the presence of multiple target sequences as SRE, NFY and SP1, that can be arranged differently in different genes, so that it is not easy to identify the binding site on the basis of direct DNA sequence ana
