We examined biventricular function during passive heat stress in endurance trained (ET) and untrained (UT) men to evaluate whether aerobic fitness alters the volumetric response. Body temperature was elevated ~0.8°C above baseline in 20 healthy men (10 ET, 64.4 ± 3.0 ml·kg(-1)·min(-1); and 10 UT, 46.3 ± 6.2 ml·kg(-1)·min(-1)) by circulating warm water (50°C) throughout a tube-lined suit. Cardia...

UT-7 is a human megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line with nuclei. These findings indicate that UT-7/GM is a bipotential cell line that can be induced to differentiate into erythroid absolute dependence on interleukin-3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), or erythropoietin and megakaryocytic lineages by EPO and TPO, respectively. Moreover, a minority of UT-7/GM cells acqui...

The blood-seminiferous tubule barrier is responsible for maintaining the unique microenvironment conducive to spermatogenesis. A key feature of the blood-testis barrier is selective permeability to solutes and water transport, conferred by the Sertoli cells of the seminiferous tubules (SMTs). Movement of fluid into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule is crucial to spermatogenesis. By Northern ...

The UT-A (SLC14a2) and UT-B (SLC14a1) genes encode a family of specialized urea transporter proteins that regulate urea movement across plasma membranes. In this report, we describe the structure of the bovine UT-B (bUT-B) gene and characterize UT-B expression in bovine rumen. Northern analysis using a full-length bUT-B probe detected a 3.7-kb UT-B signal in rumen. RT-PCR of bovine mRNA reveale...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the intramuscular balance ratios of the upper trapezius muscle (UT) and the lower trapezius muscle (LT), and the intermuscular balance ratios of the UT and the serratus anterior muscle (SA) among prone extension (ProExt), prone horizontal abduction with external rotation (ProHAbd), forward flexion in the side-lying position (SideFlex), side-lyi...
