... with regulatory roles in tissue growth and development. The SPRY2 locus was shown to be associated with body fat distribution and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. Objectives: We assessed whether SPRY2 mRNA levels are related with maternal metabolic status and with placental weight. We also studied...

...L.J. Fraile; J.J. Aramayona; M.A. Bregante; M.A. García; C. Solans The in vitro metabolic activity of the esterase responsible for the hydrolysis of diltiazem (DTZ) to its deacetylated metabolite (Ml) was determined in an age-dependent fashion using the rabbit as an animal model. The presence...

... and to the persistence of the diaphragmatic activity during expiration. Also, a decrease in metabolic rate and body temperature interferes with the response. The hyperventilation in response to hypercapnia increases as maturation proceeds and the maturation of the peripheral chemoreceptors contribute to this effect...

...D.B. Hausman; G.J. Hausman; R.J. Martin This study was performed to characterize the role of thyroxine (T 4 ) in the regulation of fetal adipose tissue metabolism. On day 70 of gestation, pig fetuses were hypophysectomized (hypoxed) by microcauterization. Both hypoxed and intact fetuses were...

... also higher in the juveniles. These results indicate that the erythrocytes of juvenile bandicoots are metabolically more active than those of the adult animals and follow the general pattern of higher metabolic activity in the young red cells in eutherian mammals, with possible exception of NADH-MR...

Following a 1-hour thermal equilibration period, each rat was monitored at 1-min intervals during 1-hour microwave exposure and 1-hour recovery periods. Colonic temperature (T co ), determined with a Vitek probe, and metabolic...

...D.B. Hausman; R.W. Seerley; R.J. Martin The effect of excessive intake of dietary fat during late gestation on maternal, placental, and fetal metabolism was studied. Twelve pregnant gilts were fed ad libitum diets containing 4 (control) or 55% (added fat) calories as fat, beginning on day 70...

There is discussion of current research into the intermediary metabolism and utilisation of macronutrients and certain minerals for energy production and tissue growth and of methodology for determining body composition...

...Per Sjöberg; Ulf Bondesson; Jan Gustafsson The aim of the investigation was to study to what extent maturity influences the metabolism of mono-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP), the primary metabolite of the plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate. The conversion of MEHP to its (ω-1 )-hydroxylated...

... of the phospholipids in suspension. There were no metabolic consequences to lipid extraction, the loss of 28–35 kdaltons of protein, or changes in aggregate sizes of surfactant lipids when injected in treatment doses into the airways of 3-day-old rabbits.

.... On the basis of these tests it was concluded that the method yielded large numbers of enterocytes which were able to be maintained in simple media without significant loss of structure or function for at least 45 min at 37 °C. Comparison of the metabolic activities of cells isolated from the two regions...

...Martine Clozel; Kae Beharry; Jacob V. Aranda Indomethacin is now widely used during the neonatal period, but few data exist concerning its metabolism during this period. Thus, we studied the maturational changes in the metabolism of indomethacin into desmethylindomethacin by isolated liver...

...Jan Gustafsson; Stig Andersson; Jan Sjövall The metabolism of tauro-[24– 14 C]deoxycholic acid was studied in microsomal preparations from fetal liver. The livers were obtained at legal abortions performed between week 13 and 24. Taurodeoxycholic acid was efficiently hydroxylated in the 1β- and 7α...
