From consequent lack of fresh vegetables and fruit the sailors commonly developed scurvy, and from being solely an affliction of explorers the condition took on military, colonial and economic dimensions. Attempts to deal with it were hampered by confusion between diffe...

Lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in intestinal lymph of the preruminant calf, Bos spp., at peak lipid absorption.

We have recently evaluated the in vivo role of the liver in lipoprotein homeostasis in the preruminant calf (Bauchart, D., D. Durand, P. M. Laplaud, P. Forgez, S. Goulinet, and M. J. Chapman, 1989. J. Lipid Res. 30: 1499-1514). We now present the partial characterization of lipoprotein particles in postprandial intestinal lymph at peak lipid absorption (i.e., 10 h after a meal) in the prerumina...

Ectopic Kidney and Lymph Nodes and Intra-abdominal Testicular Structure in a Freemartin Holstein Friesian Calf

Freemartinism in a 3.5 months-old Holstein Friesian calf was investigated. External examination of the animal revealed the presence of two vulvar openings ventral to the anus. The urine is voided from the lower aperture. Transrectal palpation and ultrasonography revealed an ectopic left kidney in the caudal abdomen. At autopsy, an ectopic left kidney, right unilateral cryptorchidism, left testi...
