Physiology and Pathology of the Heart and Blood Vessels

[Physiology and pathology of the blood-brain barrier].

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulates the passage of solutes between the CNS and the blood. The BBB not only restricts the entry of serum proteins into the CNS, but it also controls the passage of nutrients, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, free fatty acids, peptides, and regulatory proteins in both the brain to blood and blood to brain direction. The BBB performs these functions through a n...

Urobilin Physiology and Pathology

Further evidence is presented, in addition to that of our previous papers, that the intestinal tract is, under ordinary circumstances, the sole place of origin of urobilin. So long as the biliary tract remains sterile the presence of the pigment in bile and urine is entirely dependent upon the passage of bile to the intestine. Animals rendered urobilin-free by the collection of all the bile fro...

Physiology and Pathology of Plants

In order to study the effects of solutions on the life processes of a tree it is desirable to introduce them directly into the trunk, since when added to the soil they may be greatly modified and it is often difficult to determine what actually enters the tree. The direct injection of trees and other plants with solutions seemed until recently to offer insuperable difficulties from a practical ...

Processing and Products / Pathology / Physiology

A set of experiments was conducted to determine the effects of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on pellet quality and pelleting performance when used in corn-soy diets. All batching and mixing, processing, and subsequent testing was completed at the Department of Grain Science Feed Processing Center at Kansas State University. Observations on the viability of using DDGS were based o...
