Profile of gonadotropin secretion in male and female rats determined in the tail-tip blood by ultrasensitive ELISA. [PDF]
Abstract There is a need for accurate and less invasive methods of hormonal measurements. Here, we longitudinally determined luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion measured in the tail‐tip blood of male and female rats by ultrasensitive enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Abstract Introduction An ideal filling material should hermetically seal the communication pathways between the canal system and surrounding tissues. Therefore, during the last few years, the development of obturation materials and techniques to create optimal conditions for the proper healing of apical tissues has been a focus of interest. The effects

Effect of the Purple Corn Beverage “Chicha Morada” in Composite Resin during Dental Bleaching
During dental bleaching the staining potential of the surface would increase. This study aims to evaluate the staining susceptibility of one bleached composite resin after the exposure to three different beverages: Peruvian purple corn based beverage (chicha morada), green tea, and distilled water. Thirty disk‐shaped specimens of one nanofill composite

IL‐17 Genetic and Immunophenotypic Evaluation in Chronic Graft‐versus‐Host Disease
Although interleukin‐17 (IL‐17) is a recently discovered cytokine associated with several autoimmune diseases, its role in the pathogenesis of chronic graft‐versus‐host disease (cGVHD) was not established yet. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of IL17A and IL17F genes polymorphisms and IL‐17A and IL‐17F levels with cGVHD ...
