Oxygen consumption in the Baltic proper1

Alcohol consumption in the Baltic Republics.

STUDY OBJECTIVES Premature mortality associated with alcohol intake is of particular concern in several countries of the former Soviet Union. This study explored self reported alcohol consumption (beer, wine, spirits) and its determinants in the Baltic Republics. DESIGN Cross sectional surveys conducted in 1997. SETTINGS Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. PARTICIPANTS Representative samples o...

Oxygen Consumption in Cycling:

Oxygen consumption in the developing chick cornea.

Embryonic chick corneas at different stages of development were evaluated for O2 consumption. Some embryos were treated with thyroxine or thiouracil. In untreated animals, corneal QO2 (oxygen consumption/hr./mg. dry weight) decreased from 3.60 at stage 38 to 1.58 after hatching. The temperature coefficient Q10 increased from 1.55 at stage 40 to 2.03 after hatching. If O2 consumption is calculat...

Oxygen consumption in the developing chick cornea

tides are seen in the in vivo experiment than in the in vitro one suggests that synthesis of polyglucose is regulated in the cell even under in vivo histochemical conditions. Another use of the enzyme-synthetic approach in the in vivo cornea has been shown in the present study. The number of synthesized polyglucose particles in the corneal epithelium indicates the amount of glucose-1-phosphate ...

Oxygen consumption in the isolated toad retina.

Retinal O2 utilization was studied to identify the O2 consuming processes in the retina and the spatial distribution of those processes. Neural retina, retinal pigment epithelium and choroid were dissected from the toad eye and superfused with an oxygenated Ringer's solution. Double-barreled microelectrodes were used to measure O2 and local voltage simultaneously within the retina in both light...
