The [4Fe-4S] cluster is an important cofactor of the base excision repair (BER) adenine DNA glycosylase MutY to prevent mutations associated with 8-oxoguanine (OG). Several MutYs lacking the [4Fe-4S] cofactor have been identified. Phylogenetic analysis shows that clusterless MutYs are distributed in two clades suggesting cofactor loss in two independent evolutionary events.

We hypothesized that using skinfold thickness as a covariate would reduce the subject-by-subject variability in the -intercept and slope terms and, therefore, indicate potential mean differences between muscle groups.
Methods: Subjects had the skinfold from their three superficial quadriceps femoris muscles measured and then EMG electrodes placed over the three muscles.
Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection is known to be associated with dyspepsia for more than three decades. This study was conducted to investigate the frequency of H pylori infection in functional dyspepsia. Helicobacter pylori infection was detected by stool antigen tests were analyzed in 102 patients with functional dyspepsia.

In this research, the negative or positive effects of ADT in the development of cardiovascular diseases or its exacerbation in people with prostate cancer have been investigated.
Materials And Methods: For this research, we reviewed articles from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases until February 2024.
