Zavot cattle genetic characterization using microsatellites.

This study aimed to reveal the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship between intra- and inter-breeds of Zavot cattle raised locally in and around Kars province, Türkiye. A total of 209 [Zavot (ZAV) n = 49, Eastern Anatolian Red (EAR) n = 40, Simmental (SIM) n = 40, Brown-Swiss (BS) n = 40, and Holstein (HOLS) n = 40] non-related cattle without any clinical health problems were evaluated. Using the standard phenol-chloroform method, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was isolated from blood samples and amplified by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using 19 bovine-specific microsatellite markers.

Genetic polymorphism and antioxidant activity in interventions of tobacco-related diseases of the abdominal aorta.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the genetic polymorphisms of some antioxidant enzymes together with oxidative stress and the response of some antioxidant enzymes against this situation in vascular and endovascular interventions performed for diseases of the infrarenal abdominal aorta.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four current or ex-smoker patients (eight aortoiliac occlusive disease (AOD), 16 abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)) who were operated were included in this pilot study. Malonyl dialdehyde (MDA) levels, as an indicator of oxidative stress, reduced glutathione, catalase and superoxide dismutase enzymes, which are indicators of antioxidant status, which were measured in aortofemoral bypass in AODs, and in endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysms repairs in the preoperative, operative, and postoperative periods.

MnSOD, CAT and GPx-3 genetic polymorphisms in coronary artery disease.

In this study, we aimed to determine the gene polymorphisms of antioxidant enzymes that determine or affect antioxidant activity in the occurrence of the disease and/or complications during and after the surgery in patients who were decided to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery due to coronary artery disease. Blood samples taken before operation in 26 coronary artery patients who were decided to be operated according to the international procedure and the phenol/chloroform method was used to isolate DNA. DNA samples were amplified by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method with specific primers for MnSOD, CAT, GPx-3 antioxidant gene regions.

Genetic Diversity of Eight Domestic Goat Populations Raised in Turkey.

The objective of this study was to determine the intra- and intergenetic diversities of eight different goat populations in Turkey including Hair, Angora, Kilis, Yayladag, Shami, Honamli, Saanen, and Alpine. A total of 244 DNA samples were genotyped using 11 microsatellites loci. The genetic differentiation between breeds was considerable as a result of the statistically significant (P < 0.

Genetic diversity and population structure of wheat in India and Turkey.

Genetic diversity among plant species offers prospects for improving the plant characteristics. Its assessment is necessary to help tackle the threats of environmental fluctuations and for the effective exploitation of genetic resources in breeding programmes. Although wheat is one of the most thoroughly studied crops in terms of genetic polymorphism studies, phylogenetic affinities of Indian and Turkish Triticum species have not been assessed to date.
