Membrane metabolism was studied during the initiation of compensatory growth after acute reduction in renal mass. The rate of [(14)C]choline incorporation into phospholipid in renal cortical slices was increased by 37% at 5 min of compensatory growth in mice. The rate increased to the maximal value of 68% by 20 min and remained there for 3 h. The rate then remained increased at 28-34% above nor...

actical implications for stakeholders:  A panel of genes has been identified which may se growth and development in cattle.  Farmers exploit the compensatory growth phenomen over the winter. We have shown that muscle tissu realimentation, following a period of restricted feed int  Animals subjected to nutritional restriction exhibit hig ad libitum access to feed.  While compensatory growth ...

The Stipa grandis steppe is a type of steppe in the Central Asian sub-region, and it is an important resource for livestock production in China. Mowing is one of the main management methods for this steppe. Verifying the response of the Stipa grandis steppe communities to different mowing frequencies is essential for the rational utilization of pastures and the protection and recovery of natura...

Growth of the lung involves unique structure-function interactions not seen in solid organs. Mechanical feedback between the lung and thorax constitutes a major signal that sustains developmental as well as compensatory lung growth. After the loss of lung units as by pneumonectomy (PNX), increased mechanical stress and strain on the remaining units induce adaptive responses to augment oxygen tr...

Compensatory growth (CG) is a period of accelerated growth that occurs following the alleviation of growth-stunting conditions during which an organism can make up for lost growth opportunity and potentially catch up in size with non-stunted cohorts. Fish show a particularly robust capacity for the response and have been the focus of numerous studies that demonstrate their ability to compensate...

SILBER, SHERMAN, AND RICHARD L. MALVIN. Compensatory and obligatory renal growth in rats. Am. J. Physiol. 226(l) : 114-l 17. 1974.-Renal size and function were studied in three groups of rats in an attempt to gain information relating to the control of renal size. One group consisted of normal rats into which a third kidney was transplanted; a second group consisted of unilaterally nephrectomiz...

It is a common observation that normal growth is affected or suppressed in young individuals by environmental adversities and physical disturbances. On the other hand, when health or favorable conditions are restored, the tempo of growth promptly accelerates as if the individual is trying to make up for the growth debt incurred. Tanner has referred to this increased growth rate after diseases o...

Forty-eight hours after unilateral nephrectomy in young male Sprague-Dawley rats the concentrations of free methionine, alanine and tyrosine in renal cortical tissue were increased by 15-65 percent while the corresponding plasma concentrations decreased by 23-35 percent. The renal cortical concentrations of valine and leucine increased by 41 percent and 26 percent while plasma concentrations re...
