The rates of 3H2O incorporation into total lipids and fatty acids were measured in vivo in the different organs and tissues of 7-week old male Wistar rats to compare the lipogenic capacity of those organs and tissues and to determine their relative contributions to body lipid synthesis. Our results were the following; (1) liver was the major site of the synthesis of total lipids and fatty acids...

bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma with subcutaneous chest wall metastasis is a very rare presentation. a case of 36- year-old male with metastatic subcutaneous chest nodule of bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology, is reported here. cutaneous metastases are of diagnostic importance because they may be the first manifestation of an undiscovered internal malignan...

objective: the lrr (leucine rich proteoglycans) is a molecular recognition motif found in proteins with some roles in cell adhesion, signal transduction, dna repair and rna processing. opticin is a member of this family. takanosu et al (2001) detected messenger rna expression of mouse opticin in the eye, heart, brain, testis, thyroid and epididymis by dot blot hybridization. in this study, exp...

heavy metal accumulation in the aquatic ecosystems is a main concern which threats human health. in this study two commercial fish species, rutilus kutum and chelon aurata were selected for assessing heavy metal (cd, pb, zn) concentrations in gill and liver tissues at babolsar’s coast, the southern caspian sea, iran. babolsar is one of the important fishery stations in the southern caspian sea....

PURPOSE A new redox regulating enzyme, thioltransferase (TTase), has been found in the lens. The authors investigated whether TTase is also present in other ocular tissues. METHODS Fresh enucleated bovine eyes were obtained from a local abattoir 4 hours after death. The eyes were processed immediately to remove corneal epithelial cells, conjunctiva, corneal endothelial cells, iris, ciliary bo...

background: finding a suitable method for rapid, accurate and reliable estimation of absorbed dose has high priority in management of the radiation exposed persons. shortly after radiation exposure, apoptosis is a major detriment in proliferative tissues such as the hematopoietic system. therefore, quantification of apoptosis in these tissues could be useful for rapid estimation of radiation ex...

background: in radiation treatment of moving targets located in thorax region of patient body, the delivered dose does not match with the planned treatment, resulting in some over and under dosage in the tumor volume, as a function of motion magnitude and frequency. several efforts have been done to investigate the target motion effects on dose distribution in the target and surrounding normal ...

according to significant improvements in the tissue engineering field over the past several years, lung tissue cells have recently attracted more attention due to the high prevalence and diversity in related diseases. however, selection of an appropriate cell type, screening of suitable conditions for growth and proliferation, as well as subsequent implantation into the body to repair and regen...
