Comparison of inducible nitric oxide synthase activity in pancreatic islets of young and aged rats
Objective(s):Some pathologic situations such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome are associated with alternation in nitric oxide level. Incidence of these condition increases with aging. On the other hand, insulin secretion is modulated by nitric oxide, and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity is also altered in diabetes. In this study, modification in the enzyme activity associated with aging a...

متن کاملIsolated Pancreatic Islets
It is the aim of this study to characterize and quantify the cells within isolated rat islets that express MHC class 11 antigens. A set of five monoelonal antibodies and two polyclonal antisera of defined specificlty were used in combination with a newly devised procedure for three·dimensional immunofluorescence evaluation of intact islets. It is shown that in addition to passen· ger cells, suc...
متن کاملIsolated Mouse Pancreatic Islets
Inosine is a potent primary stimulus of insulin secretion from isolated mouse islets. The inosine-induced insulin secretion was totally depressed during starvation, but was completely restored by the addition of 5mmi-caffeine to the medium and partially restored by the addition of 5mM-glucose. Mannoheptulose (3mg/ml) potentiated the eflect of lOmM-inosine in islets from fed mice. The mechanism ...
متن کاملAvian Species Comparison Study—a Protocol Development Study for the Avian 2-generation Tier Ii Assay
Executive Summary: A two-generation dietary test provides a method for determining multigenerational effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), with varied exposures over the stages in the life cycle. The Japanese quail has been developed as a model for precocial avian species; however, northern bobwhite quail have been the standard for toxicological testing. Our purpose was to compare r...
