adenosine phosphate/atrophy

An automated enzymatic procedure suitable for determination of ATP, ADP, AMP, phosphocreatine, creatine, and lactate in needle biopsies of human skeletal muscle (ca. 30 mg dry wt) using a fast centrifugal analyzer (Multistat III, Instrumentation Laboratory Inc.) is presented. Coefficients of

OBJECTIVE This study was devised to develop a method of measuring the acute effects of radiocontrast media on renal function and assessing the relationship of the dose of radiocontrast media infused with the incidence of radiocontrast-induced renal failure. In addition, the drug adenosine

Intrastriatal injection of either kainic acid (0.35 micrograms) or ibotenic acid (7.0 micrograms) in the mouse causes a profound and selective degeneration of striatal neurons accompanied by a secondary astrocytic response. The kainate injection (0.35 micrograms) resulted in significant decrements

Peptidases, phosphatases, glycosidases, non-specific esterases, succinate dehydrogenase, cholinesterases, and carbohydrate components were studied in bioptic material of the normal and diseased human stomach using well established older, modified older, and new qualitative histochemical methods. For

We have developed a new ATP assay for hepatocytes which is simple, rapid and highly sensitive. ATP determination using luciferin-luciferase was performed on hepatocytes separated by perfusion of the liver with collagenase. There was a close correlation between the ATP content of hepatocytes and
