...T. Knackstedt; U. Mangold The development of the caudal pharyngeal arch arteries was studied in perfused rat embryos in the interval of embryonic day 12½to embryonic day 13¾ using semithin serial sections and computer-aided 3-dimensional reconstructions. The fourth pharyngeal arch artery...

... was to establish whether the differences in muscle metabolism are reflected in the quantitative ultrastructural evaluation of their SC. Two skeletal muscles of rats, soleus (SOL) with predominant slow fibers and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) with predominant fast ones, were studied. Morphometric analysis...

...A. Ishihara; A. Hori; R.R. Roy; Y. Oishi; R.J. Talmadge; Y. Ohira; S. Kobayashi; V.R. Edgerton Cross-sectional areas and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activities of muscle fibers in the rat levator ani (LA) and bulbocavernosus (BC) were determined and compared with those of the soleus (SOL...

...N. Patlas; P. Yaffe; A. Kimyagarov; G. Golomb; A. Ornoy Bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of bone resoφtion, and are therefore used for the treatment of various bone diseases including osteoporosis. We examined whether cyclic therapy with bisphosphonates in oophorectomized osteoporotic rats had...

...Q.-X. Wang; O. Ohtani; M. Saitoh; Y. Ohtani We investigated the detailed distribution and ultrastructure of the stomata connecting the pleural cavity and the lymphatics in the rat costal pleura by scanning electron, transmission electron and light microscopy. The mesothelial cells lining the costal...

...I. Ustunel; R. Demir The fiber type composition of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of adult male and female rats was examined by histochemical, morphometric and ultrastructural methods. Six male and 6 female, 3.5-month-old rats were used in the study. The fiber types were determined using...

...E.P.K. Mensah-Brown; M.K. Pratten The fate of rat immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the 11.5-day-rat conceptus cultured in vitro has been studied utilizing the intravitelline cannulation technique. When IgG bound to colloidal gold was introduced into the vitelline circulation, gold particles were detected...

...J.-P. Mbiene; C.M. Mistretta The rat tongue has an extensive, complex innervation from four cranial nerves. However, the precise developmental time course and spatial routes of these nerves into the embryonic tongue are not known, although this knowledge is crucial for studying mechanisms...

...G. Godlewski; R. Gaubert-Cristol; S. Rouy; M. Prudhomme Hepatic and biliary structures appearing during embryonic Carnegie stages 15–23 were analyzed in OFA rat embryos. The group of rats with crown rump length 7.5–16 mm and 12.8–16 days after coitus yielded 55 specimens (23 of stages 15–16, 20...

...M.D. Monteagudo; E.R. Hernández; C. Seco; J. Gonzalez-Riola; M. Revilla; L.F. Villa; H. Rico In experimental studies of bone in rats, two morphometric indices reflecting bone density have been proposed, the bone robusticity index and bone weight/ bone length index. In rats, the bone mineral content...

...K. Messner The postnatal structural remodelling and calcification patterns in the insertions (entheses) of both cruciate ligaments were studied in a rat model with histology and immunohistochemical analysis of collagens types I and II. In the neonate, both ligaments which labelled only for type I...

...K. Sawada; T. Kondo; J. Chang; T. Inokuchi; S. Aoyagi The rat heart receives its blood supply not only from the coronary arteries but also from the accessory coronary arteries that supply mainly the atria. The distribution and chemical nature of nitric oxide synthase-containing nerve fibers...

Ibata Mitochondrial density in neurons of the dorsolateral region of the ventral horn at the L5 spinal cord segment in rats was examined using electron microscopy. The gamma motoneurons had a higher density...

...H. Toyoda; K. Ina; H. Kitamura; T. Tsuda; T. Shimada Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy have been used to delineate the structure and function of the lamina propria mucosae in the rat jejunum. In silver-impregnated sections, the adepithelial surface...

... streptozotocin-diabetic rats, 2.5 months after administration of the drug, an early time point when specific diabetic glomerular changes were still minimal. Ten age-matched Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to control and diabetic groups. Compared to the controls, the diabetic rats had a significantly lower body...

..., a different experimental design was applied in that the growth of the condylar process was observed following a provoked periosteal damage. Using 15-day-old rats, the mandibular ramus on the right side was exposed, and the periosteum subjacent to the condylar cartilage was frozen by a cryotechnique. Controls...
