- * This study developed a method to produce labelled antibodies from egg yolk by immunizing chickens with purified IgG from hyperimmune cattle and extracting IgY, which showed promising diagnostic potential compared to traditional IgG tests.
- * The findings indicated that the experimental antiserum had comparable accuracy in detecting target antibodies and presented a cost-effective alternative to expensive commercial options, suggesting a pathway for standardized production in resource-limited regions.
Metformin, an antihyperglycemic agent used for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, lowers blood pressure in humans and experimental animals. We recently demonstrated that short-term administration of metformin may lower blood pressure by reducing sympathetic neural outflow. The present studies were initiated to determine whether long-term administration of metformin blunts salt-induced hypertension, a condition characterized by elevated sympathetic activity.
