resistive and pulsatility index (RI, PI ). Both are equally Introduction as useful although the RI is probably more commonly used. An RI <0.7 is normal, >0.9 abnormal, and Colour Doppler ultrasound facilitates not only a global between there is a large grey area. A PI <1.5 is assessment of the intrarenal vasculature but can also normal, and >1.8 abnormal. The higher the RI or PI be targetted to...

OBJECTIVE The "portal hypothesis" proposes that the liver is directly exposed to free fatty acids and cytokines increasingly released from visceral fat tissue into the portal vein of obese subjects, thus rendering visceral fat accumulation particularly hazardous for the development of hepatic insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In the present study, we used a fat transplantation paradigm to...

The effects of treadmill exercise on components of the cardiovascular (heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, venous return) and respiratory (minute ventilation, tidal volume, breathing frequency, rate of oxygen consumption, rate of carbon dioxide production) systems and on intra-abdominal pressure were measured in the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis, ...
