Aging in the Glomerulus

The renal glomerulus in hypoxic cor pulmonale.

We measured the mean capillary tuft area by a custom-built semi-automatic technique in postmortem sections from the kidneys of 16 patients with "blue and bloated" chronic bronchitis and emphysema and in seven patients of similar age who were free of respiratory and renal disease at death. Nine bronchitic patients had received domiciliary oxygen treatment while seven had not. The mean glomerular...

Fibronectin localization in the rat glomerulus

Fibronectin (FN) has been localized in the rat glomerulus using indirect immunolabeling. It was demonstrated in frozen sections by immunofluorescence, in sections of fixed kidneys by both peroxidase and ferritin-labeled antibodies, and in isolated glomerular basement membranes (GBM) with ferritin-labeled antibodies. Complementary and convergent results were obtained with these approaches. FN wa...

Olfactory discrimination in the rabbit olfactory glomerulus.

Slow potentials evoked by odor stimulation were recorded from individual glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Systematic analysis of responses to nine different, arbitrarily selected stimuli strongly suggests a certain amount of discrimination. This fact seems to reflect in the first synapse of the olfactory tract the type of discrimination that was recently demonstrated within olfactory neuroepith...

The Phenomenon of Population Aging in Iran

Elham Fathi Statistical Center of Iran   Abstract. In the past, few people reached old age, but in todaychr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s world, advances in technology and health have allowed people to live longer and die at an older age, so Now more people can experience aging. On the other hand, since almost all countries of the world have gone through or are going through a period of high fertilit...
