background: inclusion of antioxidant sources in feed or water reduces the detrimental effects of free radicals and increases the antioxidative potential and stability of lipids in heat stressed broiler chicken. objectives: this study was conducted to examine the effect of satureja khuzistanica essential oils (skeo) on early postmortem and ultimate ph as well as antioxidative potential of breast...

BACKGROUND Extended Soft tissue defect of leg including middle and distal parts always has been a challenge for many plastic surgeons and also a frustrated problem for patients and families. To introduce the use of the soleus muscle and reverse sural flaps as synchronous surgical treatment alternative of the leg bone exposure with large soft tissue defect, this study was conducted. METHODS T...

Anserine and carnosine in the muscle of growing rats were measured to explore the effect of dietary methionine. Carnosine was reduced in the gastrocnemius muscle of rats fed on a methionine-free diet. After refeeding on methionine for one week, carnosine in the muscle approached to the normal level. In contrast, anserine increased in the muscle of rats fed on a methionine-free diet. Anserine al...

Decellularisation of skeletal muscle provides a system to study the interactions of myoblasts with muscle extracellular matrix (ECM). This study describes the efficient decellularisation of quadriceps muscle with the retention of matrix components and the use of this matrix for myoblast proliferation and differentiation under serum free culture conditions. Three decellularisation approaches wer...

Supinski GS, Callahan LA. Free radical-mediated skeletal muscle dysfunction in inflammatory conditions. J Appl Physiol 102: 2056 –2063, 2007. doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.01138.2006.—Loss of functional capacity of skeletal muscle is a major cause of morbidity in patients with a number of acute and chronic clinical disorders, including sepsis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, ur...

 Abstract Background: Rehabilitation of facial paralysis is one of the greatest challenges faced by reconstructive surgeons today. The traditional method for treatment of patients with facial palsy is the two-stage free gracilis flap which has a long latency period of between the two stages of surgery. Methods: In this paper, we prospectively compared the results of the one-stage gracilis flap ...

esophagus having different tissues has a special role in the gastrointestinal tract. among different species, layers of the esophagus, have a substantial difference. also, diameter of esophagus varies in different parts of it.the information of histological structure of rabbit and guinea pig esophagus is still incomplete. therefore, the present study was conducted. therefore, for review and com...

1. The amount of free unfrozen water, i.e. water acting as normal solvent, in frog's muscle at temperatures below the initial freezing-point has been calculated from the vapour pressure isotherm of the muscle. 2. Significant amounts of free water are present at -20 degrees C. The total amount of unfrozen water at -20 degrees C. cannot, therefore, be taken as a measure of the bound water in musc...
