C6: synthesis by the liver in vivo
نویسندگان
چکیده
The allotype of the sixth component of complement was determined in a patient before and after liver transplantation. The C6 phenotype changed from A before transplantation to B (the donor phenotype) within 10 days of the transplant and remained wholly of the donor phenotype at 17 wk. This demonstrates that the liver is the exclusive or predominant site of C6 synthesis in vivo in man.

Objective(s)Progesterone is a steroid hormone whose biology has been greatly studied within the confines of reproductive function. In recent years, the neuroprotective effects of progesterone have attracted growing interest. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), is a neurotrophic factor which plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of distinct sets of central and p...
متن کاملThe effect of sugar cane molasses on the immune and male reproductive systems using in vitro and in vivo methods
Objective(s): Sugar cane molasses is a commonly used ingredient in several food products. Contrasting reports suggest that molasses may have potential adverse or beneficial effects on human health. However, little evidence exists that examines the effects of molasses on the different physiological systems. This study investigated the effects of sugar cane molasses on various physiological syste...
متن کاملElucidation of the role of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in the regulation of glucose fluxes in mice using in vivo (13)C NMR measurements of hepatic carbohydrate metabolism.
Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) plays an important role in the regulation of major carbohydrate fluxes as both allosteric activator and inhibitor of target enzymes. To examine the role of Fru-2,6-P2 in the regulation of hepatic carbohydrate metabolism in vivo, Fru-2,6-P2 levels were elevated in ADM mice with adenovirus-mediated overexpression of a double mutant bifunctional enzyme, 6-pho...
متن کاملIn Vitro and in Vivo studies of the Effects of Cold Argon Plasma on Decreasing the Coagulation Time
Introduction Cold plasma is a self-sterilized, painless, and non-contact method in surgeries. These properties allow it to be applied to the living tissues and heat-sensitive parts. The aim of this study was to design a new cold plasma producer device and evaluate the effects of cold argon plasma on decreasing the coagulation time of blood drop in vitro and that of the injured liver blood in vi...

Biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the presence of microsomal fractions derived from liver and epiderm of adult and weanling rats was examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the capacity of two organs in transformation of BaP. Subcellular fractions were prepared from skin and liver by ultracentrifugation and were used as the source of BaP metabolizing enzy...
