conclusions: this study provides detailed information and case samples of radiodine contamination artifacts and non-physiological, non-metastatic extra-thyroidal i-131 accumulation in whole-body i-131 imaging. introduction: radioactive iodine has been used for more than 50 years for the treatment of thyroid diseases. differentiated thyroid cancers have the ability to trap iodine. therefore, rad...

The endothelial permeability of aorta (EPA) is influenced by atherosclerosis.  Whether the physiological difference in EPA is a sex-dependent phenomenon remains to be determined.  The objective of this study was to determine the EPA difference between male and female rabbits.  An experimental model was designed to obtain 4 groups of animals.  The ovariectomized rabbits were fed with normal (gro...

• IF 1 regulates MCU-dependent mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake. loss induces MCU upregulation through activation of the AMPK/CREB pathway. OMA1 depletion restores physiological levels and entry.

boron (b) toxicity is an important disorder that can limit plant growth in arid and semi-arid environments. it has been proven that use of tolerant rootstocks impede b uptake or transport to the aerial portions of plants. this may alleviate b toxicity in the scion, consequently improves the tolerance to excess b in the root zone. an experiment was conducted to find the effects of b toxicity on ...

Incubations of bovine ileal mucosa were used to identify the amino acid transport systems responsible for methionine and lysine uptake in cattle small intestine. Uptake was expressed as micromole per milliliter of cell water. Lysine uptake was shown to be sodium (Na) independent. Specific transport components of lysine uptake were estimated to be: 63% occurring through the cationic (Y+) system,...

BACKGROUND The physiological uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in the heart often interferes with the accurate diagnosis of inflammatory cardiac diseases (CDs). Unfractionated heparin (UFH) administration may suppress its uptake through the alteration of myocardial metabolism. PURPOSE To clarify the effectiveness of UFH administration to suppress the physiological FDG uptake in the heart...

introduction: 18f-choline pet-ct is an increasingly used technique in patients with prostate cancer. the main indication is to localise the disease in patients with biochemical recurrence. to accurately interpret 18f-choline pet, knowledge of normal tracer distribution is paramount. the aim of this study was to describe the normal distribution pattern of 18f-choline by measuring the maximum sta...
