Morphological Studies on Atherosclerotic Changes in Swine

Cytogenetical studies on swine intersexes.

Studies on Immunity to Swine Influenza

Of the two etiological components of swine influenza, only the filtrable virus possessed immunizing properties. H. influenzae suis, while essential to the production of the disease, played only a secondary and contributory rôle and, alone, conferred no immunity. Serum of swine convalescent from the filtrate disease neutralized the swine influenza etiological complex of organism and virus. Intra...

Experimental Studies on Morphological Changes of the Epididymis and Testis in Neonatally Estrogenized Mice Revisited

Our primary concern in this review is to give possible explanations and pose new questions on the phenomena concerning eff ects of neonatal estrogen exposure on the development and functions of reproductive organs and immune mechanisms particularly in male animals, in the light of new fi ndings and cencepts. At fi rst, our own experimental results on the pathological changes in the epididymis a...

Morphological studies on V2 carcinoma invasion and tumor-associated connective tissue changes in the rabbit mesentery.

The mesentery is a duplicature of the peritoneum consisting of loose connective tissue and covered on both sides by mesothelium. Rabbit V2 carcinoma cells implanted i.p. adhere to the mesenteric surface between contracted mesothelial cells. While invasion from these sites sets in, progressive changes of the connective tissue, reflecting fibroblast stimulation, become apparent and comprise multi...

Mitochondrial protection restores renal function in swine atherosclerotic renovascular disease.

AIMS The mechanisms responsible for renal injury in atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) are incompletely understood, and few therapeutic options are available to reverse it. We hypothesized that chronic renal damage involves mitochondrial injury, and that mitochondrial protection would reduce renal fibrosis and dysfunction in ARVD pigs. METHODS AND RESULTS Domestic pigs were studied a...
