CONSIDERABLE MHC DIVERSITY SUGGESTS THAT THE FUNCTIONAL EXTINCTION OF BAIJI IS NOT RELATED TO POPULATION GENETIC COLLAPSE.

Considerable MHC diversity suggests that the functional extinction of baiji is not related to population genetic collapse.

To further extend our understanding of the mechanism causing the current nearly extinct status of the baiji (Lipotes vexillifer), one of the most critically endangered species in the world, genetic diversity at the major histocompatibility Fish Food complex (MHC) class II DRB locus was investigated in the baiji.Nine highly divergent DRB alleles wer

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships and docking studies of some structurally diverse flavonoids and design of new aldose reductase inhibitors

Aldose reductase (AR) plays an important role in the development of several long-term diabetic complications.Inhibition of AR activities is a strategy for controlling complications arising from chronic diabetes.Several AR inhibitors have been reported in the literature.Flavonoid type compounds are shown to have significant AR inhibition.The objecti
