Candida glabrata (CG) is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that initiates infection by binding to host cells via specific lectin-like adhesin proteins. We have previously shown the importance of lectin-oligosaccharide binding in cardiac responses to flow and agonists. Because of the lectinic-oligosaccharide nature of CG binding, we tested the ability of CG to alter the agonist- and flow-induced ...

the cement gland (cg) is a transient organ, found in most anuran embryos and early larvae and located normally on the front of the head. its sticky secretion allows newly hatched larvae to attach to the egg jelly or to another support later and remain hidden and stationary until feeding starts. our ultrastructural studies showed that prominence structure of the cg in some species exists, but is...

The neutrophil serine proteases cathepsin G (CG) and neutrophil elastase (NE) are involved in immune-regulatory processes and exert antibacterial activity against various pathogens. To date, their role and their therapeutic potential in pulmonary host defense against mycobacterial infections are poorly defined. In this work, we studied the roles of CG and NE in the pulmonary resistance against ...

The CG56 domain generates assembly code for the Motorola 56001 processor. Chapter 13 describes the features common to all code generation domains. The basic principles of writing code generation stars are explained in section 13.2. You will find explanations for codeblocks, macros, and attributes there. This chapter explains features specific to the CG56 domain. Refer to the CG56 chapter in the...

OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of flaxseed on rat milk creamatocrit and its contribution to offspring weight gain during lactation. METHODS The study was conducted with 22 Lister Hooded rats divided into two groups: Control Group (CG, n = 11), which received a casein-based diet with 17% protein, and Flaxseed Group (FG, n = 11), which received a 25% flaxseed diet supplemented with 14% casein,...

Horse LH/chorionic gonadotrophin (eLH/CG) exhibits, in addition to its normal LH activity, a high FSH activity in all other species tested. Donkey LH/CG (dkLH/CG) also exhibits FSH activity in other species, but about ten times less than the horse hormone. In order to understand the molecular basis of these dual gonadotrophic activities of eLH/CG and dkLH/CG better, we expressed, in COS-7 cells...

A matroid-like structure defined on a convex geometry, called a cg-matroid, is defined by S. Fujishige, G. A. Koshevoy, and Y. Sano in [9]. A cg-matroid whose rank function is naturally defined is called a strict cg-matroid. In this paper, we give characterizations of strict cg-matroids by their rank functions.

BACKGROUND Cichorium glandulosum (CG), which is a Compositae family plant, is a commonly used traditional Uighur medicine capable of cleansing liver and being cholagogue, strengthening stomach, promoting digestion, inducing diuresis and reducing edema. OBJECTIVES To study the liver and spleen indices, the levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and...
