gamma-Tocotrienol (gamma-T3) is a member of the vitamin E family that displays potent anticancer activity and other therapeutic benefits. The objective of this study was to evaluate gamma-T3 intestinal uptake and metabolism using the in situ rat intestinal perfusion model. Isolated segments of rat jejunum and ileum were perfused with gamma-T3 solution, and measurements were made as a function o...

This study aims to compare the in vivo effect of a desensitizing therapy associated with a restorative technique for the treatment of cervical dentin hypersensitivity (CDH) in non-carious lesions. The sample consisted of 68 teeth with moderate or severe dentin hypersensitivity in 17 individuals (one tooth per quadrant). The sensitivity levels of the teeth were scored, and the teeth were randoml...

Laboratorium für Anorganische Chemie der Universität Bayreuth, Postfach 101251, D-8580 Bayreuth Z. Naturforsch. 42b, 703-706 (1987); received January 15, 1987 Reverse 2D 'H{N} NMR Spectra, Phosphane Complexes, Inorganic Ring System PS2N3, X-Ray The inorganic ring system RPNSNSNH linked to the [Cr(CO)5] fragment [R = T3u (1), NH2 (2)], has been studied by reverse two-dimensional, 2D , 'H{N} NMR ...

Samples brought to the laboratory for routine radioassay often have been under suboptimal conditions. We compared the effect of some sample-handling conditions on the values for T3, T3 resin uptake (T3RU), T4, thyrotropin, cortisol, and prolactin in serum as determined by radioassays. Blood was collected in three separateplain red-top Vacutainer Tubes from each of six subjects. Serum was separa...

the aim of the present research was to study the effects of weak cation exchange resins, polacrilex with exchangeable h+ and polacrillin potassium and strong cation exchange resin sodium polystyrene sulfonate on water uptake behavior of ranitidine hydrochloride. drug resin complexes (drc) were prepared and evaluated for the percentage of moisture gain when placed in a humidity chamber at 40e2 °...

OBJECTIVE: Diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease are the two common endocrinopathies seen in adult population. Studies to evaluate thyroid disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes are lacking. The aim of this study was to compare prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and autoim-munity in type 2 diabetic patients with age and sex matched non-diabetic control group. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Among pat...

The incidence of complete thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) deficiency (TBG-CD) was determined for a Japanese population from a comprehensive health examination, in which a T3 resin uptake test of the upper 5% (78 subjects from among 1,589 men) was the screening line for TBG-CD. Further analysis of the known mutation in TBG-CD gene of the Japanese population (reported as TBG-CDJ with codon 352 d...

Associations of neurological impairment with mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) transporter, MCT8, and with maternal hypothyroxinaemia, suggest that THs are crucial for human fetal brain development. It has been postulated that TH transporters regulate the cellular supply of THs within the fetal brain during development. This study describes the expression of TH transporters in the human fet...
