To investigate the effect of intrauterine positions on fetal growth throughout gestation, data from a total of 65 gilts (n = 784 fetuses) that were slaughtered at assigned days of gestation (d 43, 58, 73, 91, 101, and 108) on a project to evaluate fetal mineral deposition were used. Placenta units were removed from the uterus, and position, sex, weight, and crown-rump length (CRL) of each fetus...

OBJECTIVE: There is increasing evidence that vitamin D can be protective against the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), but it may also be beneficial for the clinical course of the disease. Our objective was to prospectively investigate if 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25OH-D) levels are associated with exacerbation risk in MS in a study with frequent serum measurements. METHODS: This was a prospe...

We present a direct measurement of the parity-violation parameter A c. The measurement is based on 550k Z 0 decays collected by the SLD detector. The mean electron-beam polarization is |P e | = 73%. The tagging of c-quark events was performed using two methods: The exclusive reconstruction of D * + , D + , and D 0 mesons, and the inclusive P T spectrum of soft-pions (π s) in the decay of D * + ...

was developed by using 2'-(4-methylumbelliferyl)oa-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid as substrate in a filter paper spot test. The method was compared to conventional assays that use 2'-(4-methylumbelliferyl)ax-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid and bovine submaxillary mucin and was found to be in excellent agreement. Organisms with >10 U of enzyme activity (in nanomoles per minute per milligram of cell protein...

507 Abstract: The vitamin D receptor (VDR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is an integral part of the body’s calcium regulatory system. Mammalian and avian VDR genes were isolated, sequenced and characterized. In this study we cloned the vitamin D receptor from amphibians. We received a cDNA library prepared from amphibian (frog) tissues and prepared a cDNA probe based on the avi...
