The choice of reference genes that are stably expressed amongst treatment groups is a
crucial step in real-time quantitative PCR gene expression studies. Recent guidelines have …

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites of certain Aspergillus species, that contaminate staple
foods, particularly in developing countries. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most toxic and …

Research on gene expression (GE) provides insights into the physiology of a cell or group of
cells at a given point in time. Studies of changes in GE can be used to identify patients at …

Synaptophysin (SYP) and growth-associated binding protein 43 (GAP-43) have been shown
to be closely related to hippocampal synaptic plasticity in recent years. They are important …

Rodents are commonly used as animal models in studies investigating various experimental
conditions, often requiring gene expression analysis. Quantitative real-time reverse …

Invasive neuroprosthetics rely on microelectrodes (MEs) to record or stimulate the activity of
large neuron assemblies. However, MEs are subjected to tissue reactivity in the central …

To study how motivational factors modulate experience-dependent neurobehavioral
plasticity, we modify a protocol of environmental enrichment (EE) in rats. We assumed that …

More than 80 million people live and work (in a chronic or intermittent form) above 2500
masl, and 35 million live in the Andean Mountains. Furthermore, in Chile, it is estimated that …

Prebiotic effects of Agave salmiana fructans at five different doses were evaluated by the
growth of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Clostridium strains and SCFA production in the …

Nitrate therapy has been suggested to boost nitric oxide (NO) levels in type 2 diabetes
(T2D); however, little is known about nitrate transport across the membranes. This study …
