The endocrine cells of Salmo trutta macrostigma stomach and pyloric caeca have been investigated using immunohistochemical techniques. 8 antisera were tested and 6 of them were detected in the endocrine cells serotonin, somatostatin, substance P, galanin, CCK and neuropeptide Y. These immunoreactive cells are described for the first time in the stomach and pyloric caeaca of Salmo trutta macros...

PR81 is a monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to MUC1 that over expressed on breast tumors. PR81 is considered a suitable targeting molecule that was radiolabeled using Cu-64 for positron imaging studies. The monoclonal antibody was conjugated with DOTA moiety and after purification was evaluated for radiochemical purity, immunoreactivity, cell toxicity and structure integrity as ...

The purpose of the study was to note whether insulin-like growth factor (IGF) immunoreactivity increased after eccentric contractions. IGF immunoreactivity in the rat tibialis anterior muscle was measured on 5 successive days (4-5 rats/group, n = 28) after an acute bout of 192 eccentric contractions elicited by electrical stimulation. The muscle tissue sections were immunocytochemically process...

There is an on-going debate about medicinal use of kratom plant (Mitragyna speciosa (MS)) on whether it has beneficial or adverse effects. This study aimed to examine long-term weight-reducing effects, toxicity, and dopamine pathway activation MS alkaloid extract adult male Wistar rats. In anorexic study, the rats were divided into 3 groups (n = 10), receiving intragastric administration once a...

While a digital arteriovenous anastomosis (Hoyer-Grosser's organ, Masson's glomus) is well-known structure, photographic evidence of communication between arterial and venous lumens might not be demonstrated in routine histological or immunohistochemical analysis. Abundant clusters so-called glomera were found semi-serial sections the distal aspect 14 fingers obtained from 7 donated elderly cad...
