The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of isoenzymes involved in the detoxication of a variety of electrophilic xenobiotics. The present investigation demonstrates that GST activity and the concentration of cytosolic GSTs in cerebellar cortex of Gunn rats were increased in hyperbilirubinaemic animals compared with non-jaundiced controls. Age-dependent and region-specific increases i...

Several abnormal synkinetic eye movements during jaw movements may often be seen after trauma or congenitally in the Marcus Gunn jaw winking phenomenon. The most frequent type consists of unilateral ptosis and retraction of the ptotic lid upon moving the jaw. The authors describe a case with isolated simultaneous adduction of the left eye upon jaw movement. This paper presents a rare case of Ma...

Pledging went slowly at fraternities and independent living groups on the first day, but picked up slightly in the late afternoon. By midnight Wednesday morning, 233 freshmen had pledged fraternities and ILGs, said Interfraternity Council Membership Recruitment Chair Dakus S. Gunn ’01. About one-half of an estimated 350 bids were accepted by 4 p.m. yesterday, according to reports from residenti...

This paper represents a novel second harmonic power combining oscillator using mutually synchronized Gunn diodes embedded on slot line resonators. A both-sided MIC technology is adopted in the oscillator. The oscillator consists of Gunn diodes, slot line resonators and microstrip lines. By embedding Gunn diodes on slot line resonators, desired harmonic RF signal can be generated very easily. Th...

Administration of Sn-protoporphyrin to Gunn rats that are characterized by a genetically determined absence of UDP-glucuronyl transferase activity for bilirubin, 24-30 h after birth, prevented the marked increase in serum bilirubin concentration that occurs in these animals in the postnatal period. A second administration of Sn-protoporphyrin at day 6 maintained serum bilirubin levels in the ne...

cannot be excluded. Allele association studies are hampered by several possible sources of error." Our study emphasises the need for additional, carefully designed studies when applying this potentially useful method in the search for genetic factors contributing to the aetiology of Parkinson's disease.tion between the oxidative polymorphism and early onset of Parkinson's disease. Genotype rela...
