Assessment of Pancreatic Iron Overload in Transfusion Dependent Thalassemic Patients
Advances in the management of transfusion dependent thalassemic patients have improved the survival of these patients. The most important consequence of repeated and frequent transfusions is iron accumulation in vital organs. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive and valid technique for the estimation of iron stores. Despite multiple studies about cardiac and liver MRI T2*, the...
متن کاملStereological estimation and morphological assessment of the endocrine pancreatic components in relation to sex in hen
In pancreatic survey, quantitative and morphological characteristics could be fundamental variables for the evaluation of some structures. The aim of this study was the application of stereological methods for estimation of quantitative parameters and morphological evaluation of the pancreas in chickens. Ten adult male and ten adult female native chickens were used in this study. Routine tissue...
متن کاملAssessing the secretory capacity of pancreatic acinar cells.
Pancreatic acinar cells produce and secrete digestive enzymes. These cells are organized as a cluster which forms and shares a joint lumen. This work demonstrates how the secretory capacity of these cells can be assessed by culture of isolated acini. The setup is advantageous since isolated acini, which retain many characteristics of the intact exocrine pancreas can be manipulated and monitored...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF EIGHT WEEKS OF MODERATE-INTENSITY RESISTANCE AND CONTINUOUS TRAINING ON PLASMA LEVELS OF WNT3A, WNT4, AND THE NUMBER OF BETA CELLS OF THE PANCREAS IN STREPTOZOTOCIN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATS
Background: The role of Wnts as mediators of pancreatic development has been confirmed, and exercise training may affect this process. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of resistance training and moderate-intensity training on plasma Wnt3a, Wnt4, and pancreatic beta-cell count in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Twenty-four rats were divi...
متن کاملHistological Studies on Pancreas of Goose (Anser Albifrons)
Histological and histochemical studies on the pancreas of goose (Anser albifrons) were carried out using special staining and light microscope. The pancreas in goose is serous tubuloacinar gland having exocrine and endocrine part. Smooth muscle fibres were absent in capsule of pancreas. Acinar cells have bizonal shape. Intralobular ducts, Interlobular and main excretory ducts were present withi...
