OBJECTIVE
Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rats spontaneously become obese and hyperglycemic with age. We investigated whether the development of hyperglycemia would alter the ultrastructure of the corneal epithelium.
METHODS
Scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) were
Purpose: Obesity has become a major health problem and is associated with endocrine disorders and a disturbed hypothalamic-pituitary axis. The purpose of this study was to correlate pituitary gland volume determined by routine magnetic
Clear cell meningioma (CCM) has been identified and included in the World Health Organization classification of CNS tumors recently. CCMs are histologically characterized by sheets of polygonal cells with clear cytoplasm, which is the expression of high glycogen concentration. Compared with other
Adrenocortical tumors (ACTs) causing Cushing's syndrome are extremely rare in children and adolescents. Bilateral macronodular adrenocortical disease which is a component of the McCune-Albright syndrome is the most common cause of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. We report the case of a boy with
The LA/N-cp rat, when homozygous for the mutant cp gene, is obese and moderately hyperlipidemic. Body weight of homozygotes reaches approximately 950 g compared to 400 g for lean heterozygotes. In adult animals plasma triglycerides are 330 mg/100 ml compared to 40 mg/100 ml, and total cholesterol is
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a leading cause of mortality in India owing to the high percentage of tobacco chewers, smokers and alcohol consumption. OSCC is highly heterogeneous in nature; therefore poses a challenge in the treatment of the patient. To better understand the heterogeneity
OBJECTIVE
Human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) have been touted as an ideal stem cell candidate, being ethically neutral, immunologically naïve, plentiful in origin, and retaining plasticity in its fetal stage. We hypothesized that by applying natural physiological signals of the developing
The three cell lines, designated as gastric cancer (GC)1401, GC1415 and GC1436 were derived from peritoneal effusions from patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. Cell lines were established in tissue culture and in immunodeficient, non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mice.
