The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) stain was adapted to skeletal muscle by using homogenate assays and quantitative cytochemical stains to determine the "correct" localization. For both feline and human skeletal muscles, the appropriate level of phenazine methosulfate eliminated fiber
Dietary fibre consumption is associated with improved glucose homeostasis. In contrast, dietary polyphenols have been suggested to exert both beneficial and detrimental effects on glucose and insulin metabolism. Recently, we reported that a polyphenol-rich insoluble dietary fibre preparation from
In the present work, by performing chemostat experiments at 400 and 600 RPM, two typical power inputs representative of industrial penicillin fermentation (P/V, 1.00 kW/m3 in more remote zones and 3.83 kW/m3 in the vicinity of the impellers, respectively) were scaled-down to bench-scale bioreactors.
The case of a 22 year old woman presenting progressive peroneal muscular atrophy (PMA) is described. Electrophysiological and pathological studies demonstrated features of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy -HMSN- type I. Laboratory findings showed two erythrocytic defects: beta-thalassemia
Mice lacking ClC-3 chloride channels, encoded by the Clcn3 gene, undergo neurodegeneration of the hippocampal formation and retina [Neuron, 29 (2001) 185-196; Genes Cells, 7 (2002) 597-605]. We independently created a mouse lacking the Clcn3 gene which demonstrated similar central nervous system
Sarcopenia, the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function during aging, is a major contributor to disability and frailty in the elderly. Previous studies found a protective effect of reduced histone deacetylase activity in models of neurogenic muscle atrophy. Because loss of muscle mass during aging
A longitudinal study of 266 randomly selected nondiabetic Nauruans [215 with normal tolerance and 51 with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)] over 6 yr showed that deterioration in glucose tolerance status had occurred in 61 subjects. Of the subjects with initially normal tolerance, 34 (16%)
New-born rat and kitten cerebellum may be maintained for prolonged periods (over 5 months) in the Maximow assembly if explanted on to a coverslip previously coated with a thin gel of reconstituted rat tail collagen and fed a glucose-enriched "natural" medium. After a 2 week period of adjustment and
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly. While the histopathology of the different disease stages is well characterized, the cause underlying the progression, from the early drusen stage to the advanced macular degeneration stage that leads to
OBJECTIVE
To develop and evaluate the efficacy of diabetes-targeted cell therapies in humans, a reliable model in larger animals is highly desirable. This article reports the surgical technique of total pancreatectomy in pigs and the biochemical analysis of the characteristics of totally
The vascular endothelium response to ischemic depletion of ATP was studied in vitro. Endothelial cells (EC) cultured from human aorta or umbilical vein were incubated in a glucose-free medium containing CCCP or rotenone. Such blockade of energy metabolism caused a drop in ATP, destruction of actin
Twenty-one experienced runners were studied before, during and immediately after a marathon race to ascertain whether either depletion of energy substrate or rise in body temperature, or both, contribute to late-race slowing of running pace. Seven runners drank a glucose/electrolyte (GE) solution ad
The exploitation of self-powered devices that get rid of the power source restriction represents the development tendency of sensing systems. Herein, a paper-supported glucose/O2 biofuel cell (BFC)-based self-powered sensing platform for visual analysis was developed. The BFC device
We describe three sibling patients with autosomal dominantly inherited sensory neuropathy, sensorineural hearing loss and dementia. The features of cognitive-behavioral deficits in the patients, including executive dysfunction, apathy, indifference and inattention, were consistent with a frontal
The role of prolyl hydroxylase (PHD)-3 as a hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α cofactor is controversial and remains unknown in skeletal tissues. We investigated whether PHD3 controls HIF-1 transcriptional activity in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells through the pyruvate kinase muscle (PKM)-2-Jumonji
