متن کاملThyroxine-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy and Adrenoceptor Changes
Short-term (5 days) administration of L-thyroxine (0.1 mg/kg i.p. daily) to adult SpragueDawley rats induces a modest degree of cardiac hypertrophy (22% increase in heart weight/body weight ratios) and directionally opposite changes in cardiac adrenoceptors (24% increase in fi-adrenoceptors and 201% decline in ae-adrenoceptors). Pretreatment with colchicine did not affect the ability of L-thyro...
متن کاملSTRONGLY DUO AND CO-MULTIPLICATION MODULES
Let R be a commutative ring. An R-module M is called co-multiplication provided that foreach submodule N of M there exists an ideal I of R such that N = (0 : I). In this paper weshow that co-multiplication modules are a generalization of strongly duo modules. Uniserialmodules of finite length and hence valuation Artinian rings are some distinguished classes ofco-multiplication rings. In additio...
