In a new model of spontaneous hypertension, namely the Prague hypertensive rat (PHR), hypertension is transferred with a kidney transplanted from the PHR to its normotensive counterpart (PNR) by an as yet unknown mechanism. One candidate may be endothelin (ET), since this potent vasoconstrictor affects vascular tone, renal haemodynamics and renal excretory function, and all members of this pept...

Androgens are implicated in the development of prostate cancer (CAP) and benign prostate hyperplasia. The conversion of testosterone to the more potent metabolite dihydrotestosterone by prostatespecific steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 2 (5 alpha-red2) is a key mechanism in the action of androgens in the prostate and is important in the promotion and progression of prostate diseases. Manipulation...

Distribution and concentration of beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) subtype transcripts (beta1AR, beta2AR, and beta3AR) were investigated in porcine and rat tissues. Reverse transcription (RT) coupled with PCR indicated the presence of beta1AR and beta2AR transcripts in porcine left ventricle, lung, longissimus muscle, and subcutaneous adipose tissue. The RT-PCR indicated that beta3AR transcrip...

We report a case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with two cytogenetically unrelated clones. The patient was a 45-year-old male who was diagnosed with acute monoblastic leukemia (AMoL). Initial G-band analysis showed 51,XY,+6,+8,inv(9)(p12q13)c,+11,+13,+19[12]/52,idem,+Y[8], but G-band analysis after induction therapy showed 45,XY,-7,inv(9)(p12q13)c[19]/46,XY,inv(9)(p12q13)c[1]. Retrospective FI...

Oxygen plays a key role in stem cell biology as a signaling molecule and as an indicator of cell energy metabolism. Quantification of cellular oxygen kinetics, i.e. the determination of specific oxygen uptake rates (sOURs), is routinely used to understand metabolic shifts. However current methods to determine sOUR in adherent cell cultures rely on cell sampling, which impacts on cellular phenot...
