.... twice the normal intake in breast milk) between days 11 and 14 and compared to pups breast-fed for 14 days. The livers of anesthetized pups were examined by in vivo microscopy to determine the numbers of sinusoids with flow (SCF) in each of 10 microscopic fields and the numbers of phagocytic Kupffer...

...G. Cherian; N. Gopalakrishnan; Y. Akiba; J.S. Sim The effect of maternal diets on the accretion of n–3 and n–6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the brain and liver tissue of developing chick embryos was investigated. Hens were fed diets containing high (HLNA) or low levels of 18:3n–3 (LLNA). The HLNA...

...Xing Xian Yu; James K. Drackley; Jack Odle; Xi Lin Responses of total, mitochondrial, and peroxisomal β-oxidation to increasing [1- 14 C]-palmitate concentrations (0.02–1.0 m M ) were measured in liver homogenates from neonatal pigs. Incubations were conducted in the absence (total β-oxidation...

...Javier Casado; Keith Snell Changes in the net balance of glucose and lactate across the intestine and liver have been studied in 15-day-old suckling and 25-day-old weaned rats over 60 min following an oral glucose load. The intestinal balance of suckling rats showed a net release of glucose...

...Beverly I. Lundell; Dennis A. Savaiano The specific activity of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase was measured in fetal and neonatal guinea pig liver during the first 10 days of age. Activity was approximately six times greater than in adult animals, and peaked during the first 48 h after...

... by significant increases in the wet weight of the stomach, liver and whole small intestine, as well as in 10-cm segments of the proximal, middle, and distal small intestine. There was also a significant increase in the mucosal weight of 10-cm segments of the proximal, middle and distal small intestine...

... of the liver was less than in controls but other abdominal organs were unaffected. The weight of the caecum and small intestinal muscle were greater, but the length and weight of the small intestine and colon were not different. In infected piglets, the RNA concentration of the small intestinal mucosa...

...D. Sadava; P. Frykman; E. Harris; D. Majerus; J. Mustard; B. Bernard The activities of two key enzymes of glycolysis and two key enzymes of gluconeogenesis were measured in liver samples from 44 human fetuses ranging in gestational age from 20 weeks to term, from infants to 10 years and from adults...

... high compared to normal mice, whereas the copper content in other tissues (liver, brain, spleen and serum) was low. Copper content in whole body of mutant mice was extremely low at three stages (18 days gestation, 1 day old, and 7 days old) compared to normal mice with the exception of the mutant fetus...

...James E. Carroll; Byron S. McGuire; Valerie F. Chancey; Katherine B. Harrison Fatty acid oxidation rates tend to increase with age in most developing tissues. In skeletal muscle, heart, and liver of developing rats, we measured activities of three acyl-CoA dehydrogenase enzymes, which constitute...

...R.C. Noble; D. Ogunyemi A study has been made of the changes in the weights, lipid and fatty acid compositions of the liver and residual yolk complex of the chick during the immediate period following hatching. By the 5th day after hatching about 85% of the gross weight and 90% of the lipid...

Lapalu-Traon In order to evaluate tissue taurine storage during pregnancy, we determined the taurine concentration of a skeletal muscle (abdominal wall), the brain (left parietal lobe), and the liver (right lobe) in 41 children aged...

...Senén Vilaró; Xavier Testar; Ignasi Ramirez; Miquel Llobera We have previously described the appearance of lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-like activity in the liver of 24-hour-starved 21-day pregnant rat, but it is not known up to what point the appearance of this activity depends on the gestation stage...
