Pemberitaan media massa terkait wacana penyesuaian harga bahan bakar minyak (BBM) memiliki tonality pemberitaan positif dan negatif terhadap pemerintah. Berbagai turut memberitakan kenaikan BBM ini dengan sudut pandang yang berbeda-beda. Penelitian diharapkan dapat membuat suatu gambaran bagaimana kecenderungan sampel kebijakan pemerintahan. Fokus pada penelitian ialah menganalisis framing ditu...

Fredkin’s Billiard Ball Model (BBM) is a continuous classical mechanical model of computation based on the elastic collisions of identical finite-diameter hard spheres. When the BBM is initialized appropriately, the sequence of states that appear at successive integer time-steps is equivalent to a discrete digital dynamics. Here we discuss some models of computation that are based on the elasti...

OBJECTIVE Offspring born to women with pregnancies complicated by diabetes are at increased childhood risk of developing obesity and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). In population-based studies, breast-feeding has been shown to be protective against obesity and diabetes later in life. To date, the role of breast-feeding on offspring of diabetic mothers (ODM) has not been investigated in this c...

Thyroid hormone status influences the Zn2+ and metallothionein levels in intestine, liver, and kidney. To evaluate the impact of thyroid hormones on Zn2+ metabolism, Zn2+ uptake studies were carried out in intestinal and renal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV). Steady-state Zn2+ transport in intestinal and renal cortical BBMV was increased in hyperthyroid (Hyper-T) rats and decreased in the...

The effect of in vivo infusion of the peptide hormone glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) on glucose transport across the rat jejunal brush-border membrane (BBM) was assessed using isolated membrane vesicles. A 2-h infusion of GLP-2 produced a marked acceleration of sodium-dependent glucose uptake into BBM vesicles with a significant overshoot. There was no change in vesicle space or permeability r...

Despite the importance of extracellular phosphate in many essential biological processes, the mechanisms of phosphate transport across the epithelium of different intestinal segments remain unclear. We have used an in vitro method to investigate phosphate transport at the brush border membrane (BBM) of intact intestinal segments and an in vivo method to study transepithelial phosphate absorptio...

Hypersphere World-Universe Model (WUM) is an alternative to the prevailing Big Bang (BBM). WUM and BBM are principally different Models: 1) Instead of Initial Singularity with infinite energy density extremely rapid expansion space (Inflation) in BBM; WUM, there was a Fluctuation (4D Nucleus World extrapolated radius equals basic unit size a) Eternal Universe finite (four orders magnitude less ...

The expression of two members of the ATP-binding cassette family of transport proteins, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and the canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter (cMOAT or Mrp2), was evaluated in renal brush-border membranes (BBM) and various rat tissues after cisplatin treatment. One administration of cisplatin (5 mg/kg) increased P-gp expression by >200-300% in renal BBM and in crude ...

Functions and structures of epithelial cells vary, depending upon their locations in organs/tissues. Pathophysiological responses of epithelia are associated with challenges, severities, durations and diseases. Epithelial proteomics has been used to understand the role of these cells in the pathogenesis of several diseases, and has the potential to identify novel biomarkers for disease prognosi...

Intestinal phosphate (Pi) absorption across the apical membrane of small intestinal epithelial cells is mainly mediated by the type IIb Na-coupled phosphate co-transporter (NaPi-IIb), but its expression and regulation in the chicken remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated the mRNA and protein levels of NaPi-IIb in three regions of chicken small intestine, and related their express...
