The results demonstrate that these fillers improve the thermal and mechanical stabilities of chitosan (CS) control membranes.
Particularly, CS/B-SHMO-12 obtains the highest hydrated and anhydrous conductivities of 0.0224 S cm−1 and 10.03 mS cm−1, enhancing by 91.4% and 98.6% respectively compared with those of CS control membrane under identical conditions.
(B ) Courtship index for CS control males toward decapitated targets.
CS control and miR-124 mutant males were tested using decapitated CS females as targets.
(C ) Courtship choice assay comparing the time CS control males courted decapitated CS control and miR-124 mutant targets, when presented together.
The target genotypes used are CS control, miR-124 mutant and rescued mutant.
For these experiments the mutant was backcrossed for 6 generations into the CS control background.
In the CS, control and HC groups, P/F remained at 400 throughout the study period.
Wistar rats were grouped as follows: CS- control sedentary, HS- H. aphrodisiaca sedentary, CT-control trained, HT- H. aphrodisiaca trained.
