The incorporation rate of 3H from 3H2O in the total lipids of rat retroperitoneal adipose tissue (RPAT) according to age was followed in slightly hyperthyroid rats, in type-2 diabetic rats and in control rats. Until 12 weeks of age, the RPAT of the hyperthyroid animals exhibited hyperplasia and an increase in lipogenesis per g of wet weight or per whole fat pad. Fat cel number and lipogenesis p...

BACKGROUND Fat grafting has been increasingly utilized in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgical procedures, yet the basic scientific understanding of fat grafting has lagged behind the pace of clinical innovation and utilization. This lack of basic scientific understanding has perhaps manifested itself in the wide range of graft viability reported across the literature. This study attempts...

The purpose of the present experiments was to compare the effects of the intermittent lighting schedule (IL) consisting of repeated cycles of 1 h light (L):3 h darkness (D) with a nearly continuous lighting schedule 23L:1D (CL) on the performance of floor-reared male and female broiler chickens. In addition, N balance trials were performed on caged broilers in order to assess their efficiency o...

Corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are now being further processed to remove corn oil, which may be used as a dietary energy source for poultry. The objectives of this study were to compare the effects of a poultry fat (PF) and a new DDGS-derived corn oil blend (CO) on live performance and carcass characteristics of 49-d-old broilers. Four corn-soybean meal based diets were formu...

This article is intended as an illustrated, step-by-step guide in the use of the pedicled buccal fat pad in the closure of oro-antral communications. The advantages and disadvantages of its use are discussed, along with its basic anatomy.

The influence of long-bright and increasing-dim photoperiods on live and processing performance was investigated in 2 broiler strains. Fifty males of moderate (M) and high (H) yield strains were placed by strain in 2 pens in each of 12 rooms. Six rooms were provided a long-bright photoperiod (LB treatment) of 23L:1D with 2 footcandles of intensity. The other 6 rooms were provided an increasing-...

background: in most mammals, the testis is always maintained at a lower temperature than that in the abdomen, and exposure of the testis to body temperature causes degeneration of germ cells. objective: in this research, the long effect of heat exposure on sperm parameters and microstructure of mouse testis were investigated. cryptorchid mouse were induced by exposure to abdominal heat. materia...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the differences between Asian and Caucasian upper eyelid anatomy through cadaver dissection, histopathological study, and magnetic resonance imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Upper eyelids of 9 Korean and 5 Caucasian cadavers were dissected, and then were studied microscopically with hematoxylin-eosin, Masson trichrome, and elastin stains. Four healthy young Korean men were...

OBJECTIVE To describe the interdomal fat pad, an important anatomical structure that, to our knowledge, has not been reported in the rhinoplasty literature. DESIGN Anatomical observations were made during a consecutive series of external rhinoplasties, and the existence of the interdomal fat pad was documented in patients with noses of varying nasal skin thicknesses. SETTING Private facial ...

A study with a 2 × 3 × 2 factorial arrangement was conducted to determine the effects of 2 dietary protein levels (high = CPh and low = CPl) during rearing, 3 dietary energy levels (3,000, MEh1; 2,800, MEs1; and 2,600, MEl1, kcal/kg AMEn, respectively) during the first phase of lay, and 2 dietary energy levels (2,800, MEs2; and 3,000, MEh2, kcal/kg AMEn, respectively) during the second phase of...
