Ascorbate transport in guinea pig eyes
Excised guinea pig ciliary body-iris preparations accumulated <C-labeled L-ascorbate. The concentrating mechanism required glucose as well as Na+, K+, and Ca++ ions in the media and is inhibited by ouabain, dinitrophenol, iodoacetate, cyanide, fluoride, desoxycorticosterone, and hydrocortisone. It demonstrates saturation kinetics with increasing concentrations of Lascorbate in the media and is ...
متن کاملVitamin C Deficiency Reduces Muscarinic Receptor Coronary Artery Vasoconstriction and Plasma Tetrahydrobiopterin Concentration in Guinea Pigs
Vitamin C (vitC) deficiency is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, but its specific interplay with arteriolar function is unclear. This study investigates the effect of vitC deficiency in guinea pigs on plasma biopterin status and the vasomotor responses in coronary arteries exposed to vasoconstrictor/-dilator agents. Dunkin Hartley female guinea pigs (n = 32) were randomized...

متن کاملKaryotype of Hairless Guinea pig
Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...
متن کاملDevelopment of fatty acid oxidation in neonatal guinea-pig liver.
The capacity of foetal and neonatal liver to oxidize short-, medium- and long-chain fatty acids was studied in the guinea pig. Liver mitochondria from foetal and newborn animals were unable to synthesize ketone bodies from octanoate, but octanoylcarnitine and palmitoylcarnitine were readily ketogenic. The ketogenic capacity at 24 h after birth was as high as in adult animals. Hepatocytes isolat...
