IGF-I, Insulin like growth factor-I is a multi-functional polypeptide which organizes the proliferation and differentiation of various cell types and has a metabolic activity similar to insulin. We know that IGF-I receptors localize in the gastrointestinal tract. Polyamines play an important role in the gastrointestinal growth which connect with IGF-I. DFMO, I±-difluoromethylornithine is an irreversible inhibitor of ODC, ornithine decarboxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of polyamines. In the IGF-I-promoted growth the role of polyamines mainly investigate in vitro systems, however, in vivo studies are necessary to clarify the subject. Our aim in this study is to examine the in vivo role of IGF-I as a stimulant in the growth of developing rat's small intestine, and to clarify the role of polyamines in the period of growth promoted by IGF-I. In this study, animals were divided into 2 groups. DFMO (500 mg/kg/day) was administered for 10 days to 9 rats forming the experimental group. Sterile 0.9% NaCl was injected at the same volume as for the experimental animals into 8 rats forming the control group. Tissue samples were taken from the rats for histological, immunohistochemical and biochemical analyses on the 10th day. In the group given DFMO, the expansion and compression of the villi, as well as a decrease in the PAS-positive reaction intensity of brush border and in the number of goblet cells were observed. mmunohistochemical assessments showed that the number of PCNA, ODC and IGF-I positive cells in the DFMO-treated group decreased significantly, compared with the control group. Biochemical investigations showed that DNA values in the small intestinal tissue decreased insignificantly in the DFMO treated group as compared to the control one. We concluded that application of DFMO in the developing rat small intestine inhibited polyamine synthesis and IGF-I synthesis and partially prevented growth of the intestine.

Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a peptide hormone with intestinotrophic activity, which is released from the intestinal endocrine cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects observed by scanning electron microscope of GLP-2 in intestinal epithelial injury induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)/actinomycin D (Act D). In addition, it aimed to elucidate whether the action mechanism of GLP-2 might be mediated by gastrointestinal hormones such as cholecystokinin and somatostatin . The intestinal epithelial injury was induced by intraperitoneal administration of 15 µg/kg TNF-α and 800 µg/kg Act D per mouse. Animals were injected subcutaneously 200 µg/kg GLP-2 analogue every 12 hr for 10 consecutive days prior to the administration of TNF-α and Act D. Scanning electron microscopic examination revealed severe epithelial damage in the small intestine of TNF-α/Act D-administered mice. The administration of TNF-α/Act D was significantly increased the number of somatostatin -immunoreactive endocrine cells, but did not affect the number of cholecystokinin -immunoreactive endocrine cells in the intestinal mucosa . On the other hand, GLP-2 analogue pretreatment prevented TNF-α/Act D-induced intestinal epithelial injury by causing a marked decrease in the degenerative changes and the number of somatostatin -immunoreactive endocrine cells, and a significant increase in the number of cholecystokinin -immunoreactive endocrine cells. As a result, the present study indicates that GLP-2 has a protective effect against TNF-α/Act D-induced intestinal epithelial injury. Morever protective effect of GLP-2 might be related to somatostatin and cholecystokinin.

A collaborative trial study has been conducted for validation of an extraction method and a subsequent PCR for the detection of transgenic rice sold in Saudi Arabia. The tests were carried out in Saudi Arabia using Real-Time PCR and the positive samples were validated in another lab in Malaysia using PCR and agarose gel visualization. The samples were tested for the existence of the NOS Terminator. A total of 150 samples were tested out of which three samples tested positive as GM-rice which were retested in Malaysia. The presence of GMO rice in Saudi Arabia supports the necessity of developing precise quantitative and qualitative ways for routine analyses and detection of GMO products in the Saudi Arabian market. With the discovery of GM products in the Saudi Arabian market it would be of no surprise that other Middle Eastern nations also knowingly or unknowingly import GM crops.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the neurosecretory material in corpus cardiacum (CC) on the reproduction of endoparasitic Pimpla turionellae L. For this purpose, the egg maturation and amount of the neurosecretory material in corpus cardiacum of the insects were examined by the serial cross sections. Egg maturation was determined by measuring the terminal oocyte length in the serial cross sections of the ovariole. The egg growth which has observed on the 3 rd day, reached the maximum on 15 th day and after that day the egg laying was observed. The sections of insect brains were stained by paraldehyde fuchsin . The amount of the paraldehyde fuchsin positive neurosecretory (PF + NS) material in CC was at a certain level in the first day of egg development. While terminal oocyte was reaching the maximum length, the amount of the PF + NS material in CC decreased to the minimum level. During the egg laying phase, the amount of the PF + NS material in CC reached the maximum level. These observations give us the idea that the neurosecretory material in corpus cardiacum of this insect may be related to the egg development.

The loss of islet cells by apoptotic cell death plays a central role in the pathogenesis of experimental animal models such as hyperglycemia and diabetes. Streptozotocin (STZ) is widely used for the induction of diabetes in animals by destruction of pancreatic i¢ cells. The aim of the present study is to determine the effects of different dose and administration time of STZ on pancreatic islet cells. With this aim, four different experimental groups consist of the animals treated with citrate buffer (0.01 M, pH: 4.5) only, the animals sacrificed after 5 hours of the 40 mg/kg STZ injection, the animals sacrificed after 6 hours of the 60 mg/kg STZ injection, and the animals sacrificed after 4 hours of the 75mg/kg STZ injection were composed. While the apoptotic cells were observed by TUNEL staining method and according to morphologic criteria of the cells, insulin synthesized cells were shown by immunohistochemical technique. As the result it was determined an increase in blood glucose levels and apoptotic islet cells in 40 and 75 mg/kg STZ-injected rats while islet and beta cell areas were decreased in all groups. These results indicate that 40 and 75 mg/kg STZ injection at the end of 5 and 4 hours, respectively, causes hyperglycemia by triggering apoptosis in islet cells of adult rats. Keywords: Apoptosis, hyperglycemia, islet cell, rat, streptozotocin.

Abstract Histology offers a powerful tool in the study of detailed structures of different tissues in fishes. It is used for sex verification, identifying stages of development, presence of parasites, tumors diagnosis, other abnormalities and changes in the arrangement of tissue layers including the digestive tract. In this study, not having found any existing report, the digestive tract histology of the Persian tooth-carp, Aphanius persicus (Jenkins, 1910), was investigated. The dentition comprised canine-like teeth in one row with sharp tips. Esophagus consisted of small portion between pharynx and stomach. Stomach showed an enlargement and the intestine is relatively short. The mucosa of total digestive tube consisted of simple columnar cells and numerous goblet cells. The liver is composed of parenchymal cells and lattice fibers whose function is to support the former. Our data showed this fish is heterodont, omnivores with no secretory stomach.
