This study aimed to evaluate the effect of in ovo feeding (IOF) of L-arginine (Arg) and L-threonine (Thr) in the broiler. For this purpose, 500 embryonated eggs were randomly allocated into five treatment groups of four replicates 25 eggs/replicate. The five treatments were arranged as (1) non-injected control, (2) 0.

Hereditary cases account for 510% of the total burden and CHEK2, which plays crucial role in response to DNA damage to promote cell cycle arrest and repair or induce apoptosis, is considered as a moderate penetrance breast cancer risk gene. Our objective in the current study was to analyze mutations in related to breast cancer.

Selected animals were randomly divided into four groups containing six animals each under a completely randomized design. Cows in groups A & B were milked by the hand milking method three times per day, respectively.

Hyaluronate lyase is an important surface enzyme of many streptococcal species. The enzyme degrades several biologically important connective tissue components, which facilitates the spreading of the bacteria throughout the host tissues and presumably provides energy and a carbon source for bacterial cells. Recombinant hyaluronate lyase was expressed in Escherichia coli and was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method.
