Stallknecht, Bente, Joop Madsen, Henrik Galbo, and Jens Bülow. Evaluation of the microdialysis technique in the dog fat pad. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Endocrinol. Metab. 39): E588–E595, 1999.—In the present study the microdialysis technique was evaluated in an isolated autoperfused dog fat pad. Concentrations of glucose, lactate, and glycerol were measured in interstitial fluid by microdialysis and ...

Verheijck, E. Etienne, Antoni C. G. van Ginneken, Ronald Wilders, and Lennart N. Bouman. Contribution of L-type Ca21 current to electrical activity in sinoatrial nodal myocytes of rabbits. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 45): H1064–H1077, 1999.—The role of L-type calcium current (ICa,L) in impulse generation was studied in single sinoatrial nodal myocytes of the rabbit, with the use o...

Coopersmith, Craig M., David O’Donnell, and Jeffrey I. Gordon. Bcl-2 inhibits ischemia-reperfusion-induced apoptosis in the intestinal epithelium of transgenic mice. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 39): G677–G686, 1999.—Little is known about the effects of ischemia-reperfusion on the inductive, commitment, or execution phases of apoptosis. We have created a genetically defined...

Transplanted hepatocytes proliferate differently after CCl4 treatment and hepatocyte growth factor infusion. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 39): G629– G638, 1999.—To understand regulation of transplanted hepatocyte proliferation in the normal liver, we used genetically ...

Physiol. 276 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 45): H926–H934, 1999.—Acute estrogen administration relaxes vascular smooth muscle by decreasing intracellular Ca21 concentration ([Ca]i). In the present study, we examined...

Maresin 1 (MaR 1) was recently reported to have protective properties in several different animal models of acute inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory response. However, its function in acute liver injury is still unknown. To address this question, we induced liver injury in BALB/c mice with intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride with or without treatment of MaR 1. Our data showed...

Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) and water banking are of increasing importance to water resources management. MAR can be used to buffer against drought and changing or variable climate, as well as provide water to meet demand growth, by making use of excess surface water supplies and recycled waters. Along with hydrologic and geologic considerations, economic and policy analyses are essential to...

AIMS The aim of this study was to assess geographical variation in multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) profiles of livestock Escherichia coli as well as to evaluate the ability of MAR profiles to differentiate sources of faecal pollution. METHODS AND RESULTS More than 2000 E. coli isolates were collected from water retention ponds and manure of swine, poultry, beef and dairy farms in south, ...

BACKGROUND Efficacy of reperfusion therapy can be assessed as myocardial salvage index (MSI) by determining the size of myocardium at risk (MaR) and myocardial infarction (MI), (MSI = 1-MI/MaR). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can be used to assess MI by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and MaR by either T2-weighted imaging or contrast enhanced SSFP (CE-SSFP). Automatic segmentation al...
