neuraminic acid/atrophy

BACKGROUND Few data exist about the features of testicular microvasculature under normal and pathologic conditions. METHODS The morphology and lectin affinity of testicular capillaries were examined in healthy boars and in unilateral and bilateral abdominal cryptorchid boars. RESULTS The capillaries

This study was undertaken to investigate the morphological characteristics and lectin affinity of the testicular lamina propria in healthy boars and in unilateral and bilateral abdominal cryptorchid boars. The lamina propria of scrotal testes from healthy boars and unilateral cryptorchid boars was

The lacto series of glycolipids are only minor constituents in mammalian CNS and are found mostly during development. Expression of a significant amount (70 micrograms of neuraminic acid/g dry weight) of disialosyl-lacto-N-neotetraosylceramide (LD1) in adult mouse cerebellum is reported for the

Macular cherry-red spot, myoclonus and progressive mental deterioration are described in a man of 16 years. Morphological examination of the liver, bone marrow and fibroblasts showed numerous vacuoles containing storage material in the cytoplasm of the cells. Twelve different oligosaccharides were

The success of investigations on the structure and function of the genome (genomics) has been paralleled by an equally awesome progress in the analysis of protein structure and function (proteomics). We propose that the investigation of carbohydrate structures that go beyond a cell's metabolism is a
