Analysis Of Macaques

present study, Analysis of 10 second 6-lead ECG and Holter monitoring over 24 hours were successfully performed in all rhesus macaques enrolled to the present study. HR, ECG patterns, the frequency and complexity of arrhythmias, and HRV parameters obtained from the 10 second 6-lead ECG and 24-hour Holter monitoring were compared between the rhesus macaques with and without LVH. In the standard 10 seconds 6-lead ECG, the duration of a QRS complex was significantly longer in rhesus macaques with LVH compared

examination of the LVH-affected rhesus macaques revealed the similar characteristics shared between HCM in humans and LVH in rhesus macaques. Plasma Troponin I concentration was measured in some of the LVH-affected and normal rhesus macaques, and the study failed to show the association between an elevation of Troponin I concentration and the presence of LVH. However, no study has been performed to compare the plasma concentration of NT-proBNP in the rhesus macaques with LVH and controls. The purpose

Proteins play a critical role in normal human function and are made up of a sequence of amino acids that have to be precise, to allow for proper folding to a functional three dimensional structure (confirmation). This sequence is coded in the DNA in genes and hence any changes through mutation or allele combinations can cause a change in the protein(s) coded, resulting in a diseased state. Such a case is a disease called Cerebroarterial Amyloidosis, Icelandic type (CAI) that arises from a mutation

Researchers have taken the Y-chromosome of higher primates including humans, and great apes (orangutans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas) and ran analysis research. They have discovered that the X and Y chromosomes recombine only at the pseudo autosomal region (PAR), which is located at the tip of one arm of X and Y chromosome respectively (Wimmer et al., 2005). They have also discovered that due to lack of recombination the Y-chromosome goes through, there is a specific point in the gene where mutations

Varying Patterns of Speciation Wallace’s line, located in the Malay-Archipelago, is one of the best known and most studied boundaries of zoogeography in the world. It is a transition zone between the islands of Borneo and Sulawesi and the islands of Bali and Lombork, which marks both the convergence and division of the diverse flora and fauna found in the Asian (Borneo, The Philippines, and Western Indonesia), and the Australian regions (Sulawesi, Eastern Indonesia, Australia, and New Guinea)

An experimental study done on Six-to eight-week-old specific pathogen-free female BALB/c mice to test if DNA vaccine encoding MERS-COV S protein can induce immunity against MERS-COV infection. The study generated 3 recombinant plasmids expressing MERS-CoV spike protein: pcDNA3.1-S, pcDNA3.1-SDCD, and pcDNA3.1-S1 which dissolved into Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with final concertation of 1 µg / µl. Mice were divide randomly to experimental group which injected intramuscularly with 100 µg recombinant

The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a positive-strand RNA virus belonging to the C lineage of the Betacoronavirus genus. Since its identification in 2012 in a patient from Saudi Arabia, there have been seven hundred one laboratory-confirmed cases of MERS-CoV in eight different countries, boasting an alarming thirty-five percent patient fatality rate. Both alphacoronaviruses (alphaCoVs) and betacoronaviruses (betaCoVs) have been known to cause human disease, but a majority

Brian Wei Bio-X Make-up Work Billy Lee Dr. Jin Billy Lee is a professor of Genetics with a particular interest not in the DNA genome, but in RNA variation and its phenotypic effects. He is especially interested in the phenomenon of post-transcriptional RNA editing and its function. RNA editing has been demonstrated to be necessary for proper development and function, but its role is not well understood.

stress among human children, but to my knowledge there have been no studies of such a relationship in nonhumans. Here, I investigate the responses of these analytes to non-stressful and stressful events in a cohort of free-ranging juvenile rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) on Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico. Behavioral data collected on maternal rejection and abuse during each juvenile’s first three months of life was used to determine individual ELA categories. Saliva samples were collected from juveniles
