Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (single voxel) was applied in both the left and right basal ganglia of a patient clinically proven Wilson's disease. Decreased in NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr ratios was found and inverted lactate peak was observed. These findings reveal neuronal tissue degeneration and anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis) at basal ganglia in Wilson's disease.

Ascorbic acid levels in plasma and leucocytes and urinary excretion of tyrosyl derivatives (TD) were determined in 11 normal, 18 preterm, and 4 small-for-dates infants. Concentrations of ascorbic acid in both plasma and leucocytes were found to be similar in the 3 groups. There was no difference in the basal levels of TD between normal and small-for-dates infants, but preterms showed higher bas...

It had long been felt that while valuable work on basal metabolism had been done in Bengal (Bose and De, 1934; Mukherjee and Gupta, 1931), Madras (Krishnan and Vareed, 1932; Mason and Benedict, 1931), Bombay (Sokhey and Malandkar, 1939; Niyogi. Patwardhan and Mordecai, 1939; Niyogi.. Patwardhan and Sirsat, 1941), Lucknow (Banerji, 1931), Hyderabad, Deccan (Rahman, 1936) and Coonoor (Rajagopal, ...

ABSTRACT The effects of vitamins E and C supplementation on growth performance biochemical haematological parameters Japanese quail were studied. A total 360 one-day-old female quails randomly allocated to nine dietary treatment groups (10 birds per replicate 4 replicates treatment), including a control (basal diet) the basal diet supplemented with: 250 or 500 mg/kg vitamin C, E, both C. Vitami...

In rabbit papillary muscle contracting at 20 degrees C in nitrogen at 0.2 Hz, glycolytic ATP formation is just enough to support the diminished contractile activity. Basal metabolism, important to maintain cellular function and integrity, is strongly inhibited. In the present study, we address the question of whether the inhibition of basal processes in hypoxia determines redevelopment of force...
