Effect of semicircular canal dehiscence on contralateral canal bone thickness.
OBJECTIVES Our objective was to determine if the existence of dehiscence in the superior or posterior semicircular canal was associated with the thinning of the bone roof in the rest of the vertical canals (superior or posterior). METHODS The thickness of the superior and posterior semicircular canals contralateral to a dehiscence was studied using computerized tomography and compared statist...
متن کاملBone Morphogenetic Protein-4 and Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptors Expressions in the Adult Rat Eye
We investigated the expressions of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) and its receptors, bone morphogenetic protein receptor IA (BMPRIA), bone morphogenetic protein receptor IB (BMPRIB) and bone morphogenetic protein receptor II (BMPRII) in the adult rat eye. Interesting differences in expression profile were observed between BMPRIA and BMPRIB in the retina. BMPRIA-like immunoreactivity (IR) w...
متن کاملInhibition of premature oocyte maturation: a role for bone morphogenetic protein 15 in zebrafish ovarian follicles.
Bone morphogenetic protein-15 (BMP-15) is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily known to regulate ovarian functions in mammals. Recently, we cloned zebrafish BMP-15 (zfBMP-15) cDNA and demonstrated that it may play a role in oocyte maturation. In this study, we further investigated the role of BMP-15 in zebrafish follicular development and oocyte maturation using an antiserum developed for zfBMP...
متن کاملHepatoregenerative role of bone morphogenetic protein-9
Bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9) is a member of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily of cytokines, which regulate cell growth and differentiation during embryogenesis. Apart of that, the hypoglycemic potential of BMP-9 is of great interest. It has been confirmed that BMP-9, like insulin, improves glycemia in diabetic mice and regulates directional glucose metabolism in he...
متن کاملRole of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 in the Differentiation of Brown Fat-
25 There are 2 different types of fat present in mammals: white adipose tissue, the primary site of 26 energy storage, and brown adipose tissue, which is specialized in energy expenditure. Factors 27 that specify the developmental fate and function of brown fat are poorly understood. Bone 28 morphogenic proteins (BMPs) play an important role in adipogenesis. While BMP4 is capable of 29 triggeri...
