BACKGROUND We investigated whether alterations of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channel expression may be observed in tissues from Munich Wistar Frömter (MWF) rats showing proteinuria compared to control Wistar rats. METHODS TRPC expression was investigated in tissue from MWF and Wistar rats using quantitative real time PCR, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS ...

The L-alanine uptake by livers of Wistar and lean Zucker rats has been studied. The hepatic uptake and fractional extraction rates of alanine were estimated in 50-55 day old rats. No significant differences in amino acid concentrations and blood flows in afferent and efferent liver vessels were seen in lean Zucker rats when compared with Wistar rats. However, the hepatic uptake (1.6 +/- 0.1 and...

1. Vitamin D deficiency was induced in anicteric Wistar rats, Wistar rats before common bile-duct ligation was performed and Gunn rats with unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. 2. The effect of ultraviolet radiation on plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D was studied in a group of control anicteric Wistar rats (n = 11), Wistar rats 8 days after common bile-duct ligation (n = 7) with conju...

This paper is focused on affective and cognitive disorders induced by direct exposure to lead chloride (Pb) the possible implication of oxidative stress in male WISTAR rats. Using stereotaxic surgery, a group wistar rats received an intracerebral injection 3 μL (1 mg / L) into right hippocampus or 0.9% Nacl for shame operated controls groups. After 4 days rest, series benchmark neurobehavioral ...

The aim of this work was to study the effect a high fat and carbohydrate diet (HFCD) quercetin supplementation on levels dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT) their metabolites in Wistar, DA transporter knockout (DAT-KO) obese Zucker fa/fa rats. Animals received control or HFCD for 62 days. Wistar rats quercetin. contents DA, 5-HT, norepinephrine (NE), dioxyphenyl acetate (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (...

objective(s): covering tissue defects using skin flaps is a basic surgical strategy for plastic and reconstructive surgery. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chicken embryo extract (cee) and bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs) on random skin flap survival (rsf) in rats. using chicken embryo extract can be an ideal environment for the growth and proliferation ...

BACKGROUND Use of Manihot esculenta Crantz (MEC) plant has been mentioned in literature of Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations, Central Tuber Crops Research Institute and many others. It is also known commonly as tapioca, continues to be a crop of food security for the millions of people, especially in the developing countries of the globe including India. Medicinal uses of this...
