Substrate utilization by Legionella cells after cryopreservation in phosphate buffer

Epidural blockade improves substrate utilization after surgery.

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that epidural blockade with local anesthetic improves the anticatabolic effects of glucose after colorectal surgery. Sixteen patients were randomly assigned to undergo a 6-h stable isotope infusion study (3 h fasted, 3 h glucose infusion at 4 mg. kg(-1). min(-1)) on the second postoperative day with or without perioperative epidural blockade....

Substrate utilization by Ehrlich mouse ascites carcinoma cells.

The rapid rate of growth and multiplication of the Ehrlich mouse ascites carcinoma cells (6) indi cates the need for large amounts of nutrients for the production of protoplasm and the acquiring of energy for those synthetic processes. Recently, Christensen and Riggs (2) and Christensen, Riggs, Fischer, and Palatine (3) have reported the strik ing ability of this tumor cell to concentrate amino...

Cryopreservation of Adherent Cells on a Fixed Substrate

Substrate utilization during and after exercise in mild cystic fibrosis.

PURPOSE To determine substrate utilization and energy expenditure during maximal and submaximal exercise and recovery in adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) and healthy age-matched controls (C). METHODS Ten clinically stable CF patients (four girls, six boys; age = 10-22 yr) were matched by body mass index, age, gender, and Tanner stage to healthy controls. Subjects completed VO(2peak) test...

Fabrication Of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Solar Cells With In2S3 Buffer Layer By Two Stage Process

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films (CIGS) on metallic substrate (titanium, molybdenum, aluminum, stainless steel) were prepared by a two-step selenization of Co-evaporated metallic precursors in Se-containing environment under N2 gas flow. Structural properties of prepared thin film were studied. To characterize the optical quality and intrinsic defect nature low-temperature photoluminescence, were perfor...
