Abstract: Formulated chemical insecticides which are used for combating malaria vector have been linked to some ecological challenges including adverse human health impacts and severe environmental pollution. Potent plant-based extracts are environmentally friendly for controlling the malaria vector. Upon this, concentration-based effects of A. sativum, C. citratus A. indica and C. officinalis stem and leaves extracts were tested on adult mosquitoes. The results revealed significant differences (P<0.05) in vector mortality in terms of extract concentration and plant extract exposure. Linear regression techniques indicated that within the range of 5- 25mls of extracts exposure for 24hours,......

Abstract: This succession involves the fusion of an oocyte with a sperm, proceeding to generation of a single diploid cell, the zygote, from that a new entity organism originates. The explanation of the physicochemical and molecular mechanisms of fertilization has captivated relevant researchers for a number of years. This review covers this enthralling succession at physiological, biochemical and molecular level. Various molecules have been documented to play a pivotal role in each step of this appealing process concerning to the sperm magnetism from the oocyte, the sperm maturation, the sperm and oocyte combination and the two gamete pronuclei union tending to the development of zygote. The collection of data concomitant with significant hypotheses enclosed by this overview provides novel insights into awaring the causes of fertility issues consequent to fertilization related disorders using the platform projecting in-silico studies..

Abstract: Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of infertility in women of reproductive age group. PCOS is associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, hyperinsulinemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Several adipokines are produced by tissues, such as adiponectin, α1 -acid glycoprotein and leptin. These adipokines regulate glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin action and play important roles in the pathogenesis of IR, obesity, T2DM and cardiovascular diseases. Aim: To investigate the connection of alpha-1 acid glycoprotein inflammatory biomarker with metabolic characteristics in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and normal cycling controls. Methods: A cross-sectional.......
Keywords: Alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, c-Reactive protein, inflammation, carbohydrate metabolism, polycystic ovary syndrome.

Abstract: Background: Bladder exstrophyepispadias complex (BEEC) is a rare and complex birth defect which involves the urinary, reproductive and intestinal tracts, as well as the musculoskeletal system. We have previously shown that TP63 is a candidate gene for BEEC, and thatexpression of the TP63 isoform ΔNP63 is reduced in BEEC patients. We have also identified ΔNP63 promoter in/del polymorphismsthat are associated with increased risk of BEEC. We hypothesisedthat the TP63>PERP>DSP pathway may be involved in BEEC.We analysedthe coding exons ofPERP and DSP to identify sequence variants that may contribute to BEEC pathogenesis. Methods: Bioinformatic analysis was performed to design PCR primers to amplify PERP and DSP exons. For sequence variation detection, high resolution melting and Sanger sequencing were conducted........

Abstract: An enzyme called lipase (EC.3.1.1.3) can catalyze esterification and hydrolysis reactions. An ester is created during the esterification reaction when a fatty acid and an alcohol are combined. The opposite reaction is called hydrolysis, and it results in the breakdown of triglycerides of free fatty acids into partial glycerides and glycerol. The three main categories of lipase sources are animals1, plants2, and microorganisms3,4. Since this microbe can readily proliferate, it can be generated at any time, needs little space, and is not seasonal like plants, there is potential to utilize its lipase. Due to their huge variety of enzymatic characteristics and substrate selectivity, microbial lipases are particularly appealing for industrial applications such as oleochemical5, dairy industry6, detergents7, cosmetics8.
