Gunn rats, a mutant strain of rats, suffer from autosomal recessive hyperbilirubinemia. The homozygotes (j/j) develop jaundice soon after birth and often exhibit kernicterus and cerebellar hypoplasia that are due to bilirubin. Therefore, j/j Gunn rats have been used as an animal model of bilirubin encephalopathy, as well as of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. In this review, we discuss morphologica...

Various string theories have been proposed to solve the universe (or actually several universes, due to the use of higher dimensions). Well, here’s another one. This work supported in parts by National Girdles and Foundations under Cary Grant No. PHYSICS85-12345.

We discuss the possibility of light control by means of light diffraction by space charge waves which are the periodic domain trains induced at some circumstances in GaAs Gunn effect diode. The two possible regimes of the proposed device are considered: the first one which is analogous to the Bragg diffraction in case of light-acoustic diffraction and the other one, which we call “intermediate”...

We have previously reported that there is a poor correlation between increase in the levels of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, UGT1A1 and UGT1A6, and decrease in the levels of serum total thyroxine (T4) and free T4 in phenobarbital (PB)-treated rats, although the PB-induced decrease in rats is generally thought to occur through induction of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (T4-UDP-GT: UGT1A1 and U...
