The lipid composition of fat cells in the bone marrow of normal individuals and patients with aplastic anemia was investigated, using thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography. The results were compared to those obtained from fat cells grown in vitro. Thin-layer chromatography (t.l.c) revealed that
The pathologies associated with copper deficiency in rats fed fructose may be induced, in part, by hypertriglyceridemia and lipid peroxidation. Reducing triacylglycerol levels in plasma may result in lowering lipid peroxidation, which in turn could ameliorate metabolic effects resulting from the
Cancer-associated cachexia is characterized, among other symptoms, by a dramatic loss of both muscle and fat. In addition, the cachectic syndrome is often associated with anemia. The object of the present investigation was to assess the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) treatment on experimental

OBJECTIVE
Phytoestrogen isoflavones (IFs) are considered to suppress estrogen-related cancers through their antiestrogenic activity. The antioxidant effect of IFs, however, has not been confirmed in anin vivo system, so suppression of hydroperoxide formation and resultant DNA adduct formation were
Hypertension is one of the most important accelerating factors for progression of nephropathies. Its prevalence is about 35% in patients with nephropathies, even in minor or medium severe functional impairment. This is evidence that it is essential to select an optimal therapeutic regimen as soon as
1. Rats were given a purified folate-deficient diet containing 5 g succinylsulphathiazole/kg for 4-5 months in two experiments. Control rats were supplemented with folic acid in the drinking-water. 2. Weight gain was much below normal in the folate-deprived rats after the first month. Very low
