poa/necrosis

Bacterial wilt is a vascular wilt disease caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. poae that infects Poa annua, a grass that is commonly found on golf course greens throughout the world. Bacterial wilt causes symptoms of etiolation, wilting, and foliar necrosis. The damage is most prevalent during the

The lethality of Poa huecu, a plant toxic to cattle and sheep, was followed by injection of chromatographic fractions in mice. The lethal aqueous extract was administered i.p. to Rockland mice of either sex and produced motor incoordination, transient ataxia, rough hair coat, tremors and muscle

1. Drinking was induced in rats by 24 h of water deprivation. Water intake (ml) was evaluated for a 1 h period. 2. NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 5-10 micrograms, i.c.v., 50-100 ng into the preoptic area (POA)), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, and methylene blue (50-100 ng

OBJECTIVE Previous studies of patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to femoral head necrosis (FHN) have shown an increased risk of revision compared to cases with primary osteoarthritis (POA), but recent studies have suggested that this procedure is not associated with poor

The sexually dimorphic organization in perinatal rat brain is influenced by steroid hormones. Exposure to high levels of estrogen or endocrine-disrupting compounds during perinatal period may perturb this process, resulting in compromised reproductive physiology and behavior as observed in adult In

Fatty acids (FAs) may affect endothelial cell (EC) function, influencing atherogenesis and inflammatory processes. Palmitoleic acid (POA) has been described as an anti-inflammatory FA. However, its effects on ECs are underexplored. This study compares the effects of POA with those of palmitic acid

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of flaxseed (FLAX) oil or 16-carbon n-7 fatty acid -enhanced fish oil (Provinal; POA) supplementation on serum, liver and skeletal muscle fatty acid concentrations, serum ceramide and plasma insulin concentrations, and gene expression. Lambs [n

Acute pancreatitis is a serious and sometimes fatal inflammatory disease where the pancreas digests itself. The non-oxidative ethanol metabolites palmitoleic acid (POA) and POA-ethylester (POAEE) are reported to induce pancreatitis caused by impaired mitochondrial metabolism, cytosolic Ca(2+)

Cytoglobin (Cygb) is a hexacoordinate protein, associated with the transport of oxygen, nitric oxide scavenging, tumor suppression and protection against oxidative stress and inflammation. This protein is expressed in brain areas including the preoptic area (POA) of the anterior hypothalamus, the

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) is involved in sleep regulation. Peripheral or central administration of TNFalpha induces non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) in many species. However, the brain site responsible for TNF-enhanced NREMS remains unclear. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that the

Certain cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) act centrally to affect eating behavior and thermoregulation and may be involved in the physiological mechanisms leading to anorexia, adipsia and loss in body weight. The newly discovered macrophage inflammatory protein-1

OBJECTIVE Non-oxidative metabolism of ethanol (NOME) produces fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) via carboxylester lipase (CEL) and other enzyme action implicated in mitochondrial injury and acute pancreatitis (AP). This study investigated the relative importance of oxidative and non-oxidative pathways

OBJECTIVE It was the aim of this study to determine the diagnostic accuracy of high-risk prognostic factors and morphological characteristics of retinoblastomas using digital whole slide images (WSI) generated by a scanner. METHODS Forty-seven H&E sections of glass slides with high-risk

A prospective matched cohort study was performed to compare outcomes of total knee arthroplasties (TKA) between 29 patients with posttraumatic osteoarthritis (POA) after a fracture of tibial plateau and 58 patients underwent routine TKA. Mean follow-up was 6.7 years. There were no significant

When infectious micro-organisms invade the body, fever often ensues. It is the most familiar and most manifest sign of infection. Yet, despite its ubiquity, little is definitively known regarding the detailed mechanism of its induction. The generally prevalent view is that entry into the body of
