Differential expression of Axin1, Cdc25c and Cdkn2d mRNA in 2-cell stage mouse blastomeres.

There is increasing evidence to show that 2-cell stage mouse blastomeres have differing developmental properties. Additionally, it has been suggested that such a difference might be due to their distribution of mRNA and/or protein asymmetry. However, to date, the exact genes that are involved in the orientation and order of blastomere division are not known.

[Protective effect of dietary monounsaturated fatty acid on cardiovascular system].

Monounsaturated fatty acid(MUFA) is a sort of fatty acids, including a double bond in its carbon chain. Substantial evidence exists to suggest that MUFA can positively regulate the metabolism of serum lipids, decrease the susceptibility of LDL to oxidative modification, protect the artery endothelium, and decrease prothrombotic environment. The protective effect of MUFA to the cardiovascular system was introduced in the paper.
