We studied the role of Kupffer cell functioning in T3 liver preconditioning against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury using the macrophage inactivator gadolinium chloride (GdCl3) previous to T3 treatment. Male Sprague-Dawley rats given a single i.p. dose of 0.1 mg T3/kg were subjected to 1 h ischemia followed by 20 h reperfusion, in groups of animals pretreated with 10 mg GdCl3/kg i.v. 72 h befo...

BACKGROUND Both organ-preserving concurrent (chemo)radiotherapy ((C)RT) and organ-sacrificing surgery (total laryngectomy) are used for treatment of advanced laryngeal cancer. The purpose of this study was to present the assessment of our treatment protocol for T3 (C)RT and T4 disease (total laryngectomy + postoperative RT). METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study in 182 consecutive...

Hormones have to be transported from their sites of synthesis to their target organs. For lipophilic hormones, such as steroids and thyroid hormones, transport is accomplished by binding to specific serum proteins, in the case of thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3) to thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) and prealbumin (PA). Normally about 70% of circulating T4 and 7540% of T3 is bound to TBG...

The current study demonstrates that T3-activated transcription of the NADPH:cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (P450R) gene is dependent on the thyroid hormonal status of the animal, with both transcriptional and post-transcriptional pathways being important in regulating the cellular P450R mRNA level. The region required for transcriptional activation of the P450R gene by T3 has been identified. N...

Today’s consumers are more conscious of their diet and many prefer eating healthy food. This study was carried out to use blends black rice flour, coconut flour cocoa powder for production gluten free muffins suitable patients with celiac disease. The gluten-free were prepared from at different levels concentration (T0, T1, T2 & T3). in experimental samples T1 [BRF:CF:CP (80:15:5)], (75:20:5)] ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the current status of sonographic characteristics of thyroid nodules in Isfahan, a previously iodine deficient area in central Iran. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a cross-sectional study conducted in 2006, 2523 adult people (age > 20 years) were selected by a multistage clustering sampling method. Of these people, 263 volunteered persons were un...

a total of 280 unsexed broiler chicks, 21 days-old and weighing 580 g on average were randomly distributed into 28 experimental units of 10 birds each. seven experimental diets containing respectively 0% (t0 control), 20% raw cowpeas (t1), 20% raw cowpeas + 0.2% of canarium charcoal (t2), 20% raw cowpeas + 0.2% maize cob charcoal (t3), 20% cooked cowpeas (t4), 20% cooked cowpeas + 0.2% canarium...

Background & Aim: Thymus daenensis is recognized as aromatic herbs,   which used in food, flavoring, pharmaceutical, and perfumery industries. This   study was conducted to investigate the response of T.daenensis to   different fertilizers (chemical and organic) along with chitosan.  Experimental:  Treatments consisted of different fertilizers...

OBJECTIVES: To assess surgery and short-term post-surgery changes in the position of the condyles, rami and chin after mandibular advancement. METHODOLOGY: Pre-surgery (T1), 1 week post-surgery (T2), and 6 week post-surgery (T3) CBCT scans were acquired for 20 retrognathic patients with short or normal face height. 3D models were built and superimposed through a fully automated voxel-wise meth...
