Three separate approaches were applied to examine the general relationship between R, the rate of induction of specific enzymes (mitochondrial alpha-glycero-phosphate dehydrogenase and cytosolic malic enzyme) and q, the fractional nuclear occupancy by triiodothyronine in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Daily 200-microgram injections of triiodothyronine per 10u g body wt for 7 days resulted in saturat...

Prof. Nuran Akman, MD, Department of Internal Medicine, Cerrahpaşa Medical School, University of Istanbul, TR-34303 Cerrahpaşa/Istanbul (Turkey) Neurotoxicity is a dose-limiting side effect of vincristine. It may be divided into four groups: peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, encephalopathy and cranial neuropathy [1]. Cranial nerve palsies are seen less often than peripheral or autono...

Title of Document: THE EFFECT OF THROMBIN ON ENDOTHELIAL PROGENITOR CELLS WITH EXERCISE AND EXERCISE TRAINING. Michael Morley Lockard, Ph.D., 2009 Directed By: Professor James Hagberg, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology BACKGROUND: Circulating number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and EPC colony forming units (EPC-CFUs) have emerged as valuable predictors of cardiovascular health. Improvem...

Background: The luteal phase defect is a common event following the ovarian stimulation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of human chorionic gonadotropine (hCG) and progesterone hormones to improve the luteal phase defect. Materials and Methods: 60 mice were superovulated routinely with human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) (7.5U) and hCG (10U). The mice were mated and divided...

It is noted that the results of recent experiments on the enhancement of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation below surface waves can be stated as follows. TKE dissipation is enhanced by a factor 15Hws/z at depths 0.5Hws < z < 20Hws with respect to the wall-layer result ǫ = u ∗w/κz, where u∗w is the friction velocity in water and Hws is the significant windsea wave height. For open ocean ...

Introduction Many medications manufactured for human patients are used in an off-label manner in the veterinary field. Additionally, medications labeled as single dose vials (SDV) are commonly used in a multiple dose fashion in veterinary hospitals. The reason for this is likely multifactorial including packaging sizes, financial constraints at the institutional and patient level, and to reduce...

We describe the results of a laboratory scattering experiment performed to investigate differences in the optical scattering properties between five common phytoplankton species (Dunaliella tertiolecta, Isochrysis galbana, Nanochloropsis, Skeletonema costatum, and Thalassiosira weissflogii). Data sets were taken at scattering angles 1u to 170u at incident polarizations parallel and perpendicula...

In this paper we describe how several results of finite group theory were applied in a computer study of the distribution of the orders of finite simple groups. Besides being of some small interest in themselves, the results obtained here may hopefully give some hint as to what might be proved in general about the distribution of finite simple group orders. The results used in this study are th...
