Determination of Iodine Concentration and Distribution in Rat Thyroid Follicles by Electron-probe Microanalysis
The concentration and the distribution of iodine in various sized follicles of rat thyroid glands have been analyzed by electron-probe microanalysis. The results of the iodine analysis were grouped according to uncorrected lumen diameter size. No significant differences in iodine concentration were observed among the various size categories. When the results for all follicles from a given sampl...
متن کاملFunctional reentry in cultured monolayers of neonatal rat cardiac cells.
Previous studies of reentrant arrhythmias in the heart have been performed in computer models and tissue experiments. We hypothesized that confluent monolayers of cardiac cells can provide a simple, controlled, and reproducible experimental model of reentry. Neonatal rat ventricular cells were cultured on 22-mm-diameter coverslips and stained with the voltage-sensitive dye RH-237. Recordings of...
متن کاملMorphological and Functional Changes in the Thyroid Follicles of the Aged Murine and Humans
BACKGROUND Although both thyroid histology and serum concentrations of hormones are known to change with age, only a few reports exist on the relationship between the age-related structural and functional changes of the thyroid follicles in both mice and humans. Our objectives were to investigate age-related histological changes of the thyroid follicles and to determine whether these morphologi...
متن کاملFunctional studies of acid transporter in cultured rat epididymal cell.
OBJECTIVE To explore the functional role of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase in the pH regulation of epididymal fluid and its effect on sperm motility. DESIGN Experimental study. SETTING Physiology laboratory in a university. ANIMAL(S) Immature male Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTION(S) The H(+)-ATPase inhibitor was applied to the primary culture of epididymal cells. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) The in...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical localization of thyroid hormone nuclear receptors in human hair follicles and in vitro effect of L-triiodothyronine on cultured cells of hair follicles and skin.
To investigate the cellular basis of the action of thyroid hormone on hair follicles, we studied the immunohistochemical localization of thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) in human scalp skin using a mouse monoclonal antibody, TR alpha 1 (C4) against TRs. Immunoreactive TRs were detected in the nuclei of the outer root sheath cells (ORSCs), dermal papilla cells (DPCs), fibrous sheath cells of hair...
