LOW GLUTAMINE CONCENTRATION IS OBSERVED IN EQUINE TESTIS

Methamphetamine induces abnormal sperm morphology, low sperm concentration and apoptosis in the testis of male rats.

Methamphetamine has been reported to be an important drug in the field of reproductive toxicology. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of methamphetamine administrations on sperm morphology, sperm concentration and apoptotic activity inside seminiferous tubule in male rats. Rats were administered a dose of 8 mg kg(-1) , intraperitoneally (IP), for acute group and a dose of 4 mg...

Blood thyroxine concentration is lower in low-birth-weight infants.

From out data bank, we analyzed results for thyroxine concentration in blood samples spotted on filter paper from different age groups (one to nine days postpartum) of our low-birth-weight and normal population. It was significantly lower in the low-birth-weight infants in almost all the age groups, and in both groups it significantly declined after postnatal day 5. The influence of weight is m...

Reference values for cerebrospinal fluid glutamine concentration in infants.

We measured cerebrospinal fluid glutamine concentration in a reference group of 85 newborn to 30-month-old infants. All of the spinal taps were performed for the diagnosis of illnesses unrelated to hyperammonemia or hepatic encephalopathy. We also analyzed samples from patients with meningitis or cerebral hemorrhage, or who were receiving total parenteral nutrition. The mean glutamine concentra...

Equine Melioidosis in Iran

Simultaneously assessed GABA/Glutamate/Glutamine concentration gender differences at 3.0T

BACKGROUND: Psychiatric magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is based on the assumption that controls are sufficiently homogeneous that they can be pooled, and compared as a uniform group to a disordered second group. This assumption is central to the assessment of disorders of inhibition such as depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder, using MRS-obtained estimates of the highly coupled Gl...
