| a study of the subchronic effects of arsenic exposure on the liver tissues of labeo rohita using fourier transform infrared technique. | in this work, an attempt has been made to study the subchronic effects of arsenic exposure on the biochemical composition; mainly proteins of the liver tissues of labeo rohita fingerlings by using fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopic technique. the study was carried out using a perkin elmer-spectrum rx1 spectrometer. because of arsenic exposure, significant reductions in the intensity as well as area of amide bands have been observed in the liver tissues. the decreased intensity of t ... | 2009 | 20014409 |
| transgene integration - an analysis in autotransgenic labeo rohita hamilton (pisces: cyprinidae). | transgenic labeo rohita founder population was analyzed for the presence of autotransgene having histone 3 promoter and growth hormone (gh) cdna (lrh3-ghcdna) or total gh gene (lrh3-gh2.8) by pcr with transgene specific primers. transgene specific amplification was seen with lrh3-ghcdna in five out of seven individuals and all three fishes with lrh3-gh2.8, indicating their transgenic nature. transgene integration was also studied by southern hybridization of dna isolated from blood of the transg ... | 2005 | 20035471 |
| immune responses and expression profiles of some immune-related genes in indian major carp, labeo rohita to edwardsiella tarda infection. | edwardsiella tarda is an important gram-negative bacterium that causes systemic infections in a wide range of hosts including fish. the pathogenic mechanisms in this disease are still poorly understood in fish. indian major carp, labeo rohita were intraperitoneally challenged with a pathogenic isolate of e. tarda to measure sequential changes in immunity level. a significant decrease in the superoxide production, myeloperoxidase, alternative complement activity, total protein levels and antiprot ... | 2010 | 20045061 |
| an uncontrolled open pilot study to assess the role of dietary eliminations in reducing the severity of atopic dermatitis in infants and children. | the severity of atopic dermatitis (ad) has been reported to be reduced by dietary eliminations in a subset of patients with ad. | 2009 | 20101317 |
