Renal epithelial LLC-PK1 cell sheets incubated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) undergo an acute, spontaneous, and rapidly reversible decrease in transepithelial resistance (TER). (Mullin et al., 1992). However, 24 to 72 h following TNF exposure, TER across the cell sheet increases 2-fold. This
It has been suggested that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. It could act directly or indirectly in liver. The aim of this study was to determine direct short time (4 h) and long time (24 h) action of TNF-alpha on amino acid
OBJECTIVE
To determine the applicability and safety of a new canine model suitable for correlative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies and morphological/pathophysiological examination over time after interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILTT) in brain tissue.
METHODS
A laser fibre (Diode Laser 830
BACKGROUND
Cancer cells maintained in monolayer tissue culture are frequently used to study tumor biology and nutrient uptake, but there is a concern that this system may not fully reflect clinical tumor physiology. Because cells grown in a 3-D configuration more closely resemble an in vivo
In order to identify the effects of x-irradiation on spinal cord histology and capillary permeability, we irradiated the upper thoracic spinal cord of adult rats with 3500 cGy to a single lateral field. After 165 +/- 14 (SD) days the rats became paraplegic over 4 to 8 days. Quantitative
The saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" has been known for over 150 years, and numerous studies have shown that apple consumption is closely associated with reduced risks of chronic diseases. It has been well accepted that dysbiosis is the reflection of various chronic diseases. Therefore,
