The contribution of lymphatic transport to the oral bioavailability of methylnortestosterone (M) after oral administration of the lipophilic prodrug methylnortestosterone undecanoate (MU) has been evaluated, and the sensitivity of lymphatic MU transport to lymphatic lipid transport has been investigated. M and MU were administered intravenously and orally to greyhound dogs to determine absolute...

Introduction: Using contrast medium in diagnosis and identifying of an organ from its surrounding tissue is very useful. These contrast mediums alter radiation absorption of studied organs. The aim of this study is to identify the influences of contrast media in treatment planning system of the pelvis.   Materials and Methods: Seven patients with pelvis area ...

Transgenic mice were produced that carried in their germlines rearranged kappa and/or mu genes with V kappa and VH regions from the myeloma MOPC-167 kappa and H genes, which encode anti-PC antibody. The mu genes contain either a complete gene, including the membrane terminus (mu genes), or genes in which this terminus is deleted and only the secreted terminus remains (mu delta mem genes). The m...

Linearly ordered tetraphosphine, meso-bis[(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphino]methane (dpmppm), readily reacted with 4 equiv. of CuX in dichloromethane to afford octanuclear copper(I) complexes, [Cu(8)(mu-X)(8)(mu-dpmppm)(2)] (X = Cl (1a), Br (1b), I (1c)), which involve a ladder-type {Cu(8)(mu-X)(2)(mu(3)-X)(6)} core supported by two dpmppm ligands in anti arrangement. Complex 1a was furt...

The murine tumor line 70Z/3 resembles a pre-B lymphocyte in containing the heavy chain of IgM (mu) as a cytoplasmic protein in the apparent absence of light chain (L). However, these cells can be induced by lipopolysaccharide to differentiate into a B lymphocyte-like state, containing mu2L2 tetramers as membrane-bound molecules. This is a accompanied by an increase in mu synthesis, the acquisit...

We report the characterization of a new sodium channel blocker, mu-conotoxin PIIIA(mu-PIIIA). The peptide has been synthesized chemically and its disulfide bridging pattern determined. The structure of the new peptide is: [sequence: see text] where Z = pyroglutamate and O = 4-trans-hydroxyproline. We demonstrate that Arginine-14 (Arg14) is a key residue; substitution by alanine significantly de...

Let $H$ and $K$ be compact subgroups of locally compact group $G$. By considering the double coset space $Ksetminus G/H$, which equipped with an $N$-strongly quasi invariant measure $mu$, for $1leq pleq +infty$, we make a norm decreasing linear map from $L^p(G)$ onto $L^p(Ksetminus G/H,mu)$ and demonstrate that it may be identified with a quotient space of $L^p(G)$. In addition, we illustrate t...

Preparations of murine recombinant interferon (Mu-rIFN)-alpha, -beta and -gamma were assessed for their influence on in vitro growth of mast cells from normal mouse spleen cells (Sp C). Mast cell growth was inhibited by Mu-rIFNs when Sp C were exposed throughout the entire culture period to Mu-rIFNs. The most potent inhibitor of mast cell growth was Mu-rIFN-gamma, followed by Mu-rIFN-beta; Mu-r...

(ii) (Lazard’s Theorem) L is the polynomial algebra Z[x1, x2, ...]. We proved Lazard’s theorem last semester. We also proved that MU∗ is isomorphic to Z[x1, x2, ...], so MU∗ and L are both polynomial algebras with generators in even degrees (positive even degrees in MU∗, and negative even degrees in L). The usual complex orientation on MU gives rise to a formal group law, and thus we have a hom...
