Susceptibility to Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus-induced demyelination (TMEVD), a mouse model for multiple sclerosis (MS), is genetically controlled. Through a mouse-human comparative mapping approach, identification of candidate susceptibility loci for MS based on the location of TMEVD susceptibility loci may be possible. Composite interval mapping (CIM) identified quantitative trait...

Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune condition in which goitre and hyperthyroidism are induced by thyroid stimulating antibodies (TSAB) which mimic the action of thyrotrophin (TSH). The target of the autoimmune response is the thyrotrophin receptor (TSHR) and, since its cloning, a number of differing approaches have been adopted in an attempt to develop an animal model of GD. Methods in which ...

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of different diets on lipid peroxidation, antioxidants, proliferation and vasculogenesis in liver tissue. BALBC female rats (21) were divided as group fed with standard chow (SC), a ketogenic diet (KD) western (WD). The tap water rat specially prepared according determined for 4 weeks. Liver tissue oxidative damage, evaluated using spectrop...

Enormous advances have occurred in the understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for both collateral development (collaterogenesis*) and atherogenesis. This advancement has been accompanied by parallel advances in therapies designed to enhance collaterals and to inhibit the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Our laboratory has been interested in both areas,...
