Subretinal transplantation of functioning retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells grown on a synthetic substrate is a potential treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common cause of irreversible vision loss in developed countries. Plasma polymers give the opportunity to tailor the
To assess whether potential toxic interactions occur between ethanol and allyl alcohol or carbon tetrachloride following subacute, concurrent chemical exposure, male Fischer 344 rats, approximately 70 d of age, were given ethanol at 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, or 0.5 ml/kg in corn oil daily by gavage for 14
A histologic, histochemical and electron microscopic study was carried out on the rat exocrine pancreas 6-96 h after a single allyl alcohol intake. Histologically, acidophilia, necrosis and vacuolation of the pancreatic acinar cells were observed. Histochemically, a low but evident alcohol
The short-term effect of the hepatotoxins allyl alcohol (AA) and D-galactosamine (GalN) was investigated in adult female rats. In addition, the curative effect of Hepasor, protoberberine extract from Enantia chlorantha was examined 3 days following traumatization. There was a significant increase in
The quantitative determination of hydrocarbons exhaled by animals as an in vivo index of extensive lipid peroxidation is described. Advantages and limitations of this method are discussed. Acetaminophen-induced hepatic lipid peroxidation in mice is an example of oxidative stress, the extent of which
Syngenic fetal liver tissue suspensions were transplanted into the spleens of adult male Fisher 344 inbred rats. Four months after surgery, transplant recipients and age matched control rats were treated with various mitogens (fluorene [FEN], fluorenone [FON] and 2-acetylaminofluorene [AAF]) or
Syngenic fetal liver tissue suspensions were transplanted into the spleens of adult male Fisher 344 inbred rats. Four months after surgery, transplant recipients and age matched control rats were treated with different cytotoxins (allyl alcohol [AAL], bromobenzene [BBZ], carbon tetrachloride [CCl4],
