Previous studies from this laboratory (1, 2) have indicated that when the cholate content of the rat 's plasma is elevated, either by biliary obstruction or by the continuous intravenous injection of cholate into normal rats, a hypercholesteremia promptly appears. Moreover, excess cholate was found in the plasma of patients suffering from various states involving hypercholesteremia (3). These f...

Tcl/Tk is an attractive language for the design of intelligent agents because it allows the quick construction of prototypes and user interfaces; new scripts can easily be bound at runtime to respond to events; and execution state is encapsulated by the interpreter, which helps in agent migration. However, a system of intelligent agents must share a common language for communicating requests an...

Patients suffering of diseases that affect central nervous system may be considered more susceptible to the infectious diseases of mouth. Sixty-nine patients suffering of cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome and metal retardation were submitted to saliva examination for the presence of Candida spp. before and after a procedure of dental cleaning. The isolates were submitted to assay for verifying ph...

Background: Ovine follicle stimulation hormone (OFSH) is a pituitary glycoprotein and belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones. This hormone plays a key role in the function of the reproductive system: it is essential for sertoli cell function and spermatogenesis in testis and it stimulates the growth of ovulatory follicles in females. Ovine FSH hormone is a heterodimeric hormone consisti...

Type strains of 200 species of yeasts able to ferment glucose and grow on xylose were screened for fermentation of d-xylose. In most of the strains tested, ethanol production was negligible. Nineteen were found to produce between 0.1 and 1.0 g of ethanol per liter. Strains of the following species produce more than 1 g of ethanol per liter in the fermentation test with 2% xylose: Brettanomyces ...
