Although the negative effects of roads on the genetics of animal Primer populations have been extensively reported, the question of whether roads reduce gene flow in volant, urban bird populations has so far not been addressed.In this study, we assess whether highways decreased gene flow and genetic variation in a small passerine bird, the tree spa
Objective: To assess the role of Insulin growth factor-I (IGF-I) in females selected for assisted reproductive technique (ART).Methods: In this cross-sectional study 133 infertile females were recruited for Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).The antral follicle count (AFC), pre-ovulatory follicle count (PFC), total doses of follicle stimulatin
Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) inhibits oxidative damage and cancer therapy effectiveness.A polymorphism in its encoding gene (SOD2: Val16Ala rs4880) may confer poorer breast cancer survival, but data are inconsistent.We examined the association of SOD2 genotype and breast cancer recurrence (BCR) among patients treated with cyclophosphamide
