Effects of retinoic acid on compensatory lung growth
BACKGROUND We investigated the effect of Retinoic acid in the growth of contralateral lung after pneumonectomy. METHODS Twenty one adult male Wistar albino rats from the same colony were used. They were divided into three groups (Group A, B and C). Group A undergone only left posterolateral thoracotomy. In Group B and C, the rats were subjected to left posterolateral thoracotomy and left pneu...
متن کاملCompensatory Lung Growth After Pneumonectomy
Pneumonectomy, the surgical removal of a lung, elicits a number of anatomical changes within the thoracic cavity that augments the diffusion capacity of the remaining lung. Pneumonectomy directs the entire cardiac output into the remaining lung and creates an empty hemithorax that results in a shift of the mediastinum toward the vacated thoracic compartment. In a number of experimental animal m...
متن کاملChoroidal retinoic acid synthesis: a possible mediator between refractive error and compensatory eye growth.
Research over the past two decades has shown that the growth of young eyes is guided by vision. If near- or far-sightedness is artificially imposed by spectacle lenses, eyes of primates and chicks compensate by changing their rate of elongation, thereby growing back to the pre-lens optical condition. Little is known about what chemical signals might mediate between visual effects on the retina ...
متن کاملSignals and mechanisms of compensatory lung growth.
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...
متن کاملEffects of Novel Retinoic Acid Compound, 9-cis-Retinoic Acid, on Proliferation, Differentiation, and Expression of Retinoic Acid Receptor-a
Retinoic acid modulates proliferation and differentiation of a wide variety of normal and leukemic cells through two distinct families of transcriptional factors: the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and the retinoid X receptors (RXRs). A stereoisomer of retinoic acid, 9-cis-retinoic acid, is a highaffinity ligand for RXR and binds efficiently to RAR. In contrast, all-trans-retinoic acid interact...
