an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of thyroid gland activity modulation (hyper or hypothyroidism) on energy utilization in broiler chickens. two hundred and forty one-day-old cobb broiler chicks were distributed into three dietary metabolizable energy (me) treatment groups (80 chicks each). the control group (e0) was fed basal diet (3150 kcal/kg diet), the second group (e1) w...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Iodide efflux from thyroid cells into the follicular lumen is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, however, the pathways mediating this transport have only been partially identified. A calcium-activated pathway of iodide efflux has long been recognized, but its molecular identity unknown. Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) is a calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC), and this stu...

Rhodium(I)-complex [Rh(CO)2I2−] (1) catalyzed two carbonylations of methyl iodide and trimethylamine in NMP (1-methyl-2-pyrolidone) to acetic acid and DMAC (N,N-dimethylacetamide) in the presence of calcium oxide and water. The carbonylation of trimethylamine continued during the carbonylation and consumption of methyl iodide. In total, 183.8 mmol of carbonylated products was produced while con...

Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) are widely expressed in mammalian tissues, including intestinal epithelia, where they facilitate fluid secretion. Potent, selective CaCC inhibitors have not been available. We established a high-throughput screen for identification of inhibitors of a human intestinal CaCC based on inhibition of ATP/carbachol-stimulated iodide influx in HT-29 cells aft...

IONOMYCIN-INDUCED Ca CYTOSOLIC INCREASE IS NOT INDUCING MASSIVE APOPTOSIS OF Ba/F3 CELLS (Abstract): It was shown that a novel immunotherapy using ex vivo activated splenocytes is capable of promoting survival and hematopoietic recovery after syngeneic and semiallogeneic bone marrow transplantation in BALB/c mice subjected to a lethal dose of total body irradiation. We tested the hypothesis tha...
