... count and protein concentration were influenced by gestational and chronological age. In the four studies that reported individual patient data, in 95% of cases the CSF WBC count was <12 cells/μL in preterm and <10 cells/μL in term neonates, the neutrophil count was <16 and 8 cells/μL...

... for gestational age. All neonates had received fortified human milk (added protein 2.0 g/100 mL, range 0–2.8; added calcium 2,400 µmol/100 mL, range 0–6 844; added phosphate 2,400 µmol/100 mL, range 0–5,178). Seven neonates underwent surgery, and 2 infants died. Hyperechoic masses in extended bowel loops...

...Nasim Gorji; Aprile L. Pilon; Melissa E. Winn; Morgan Newsome; Jonathan M. Davis Background: The club cell 10-kDa protein (CC10) is a homeostatic protein that is produced in the lung, diffuses into the blood, and is then excreted into the urine and stool. CC10 is known to have anti-inflammatory...

...Sreerama Shetty; S.N. Hegde Effect of subcutaneously administered pigeon milk-derived growth factor (PMGF) on protein and nucleic acid content of various body organs was studied in neonate mice. Although the body and organ weights of PMGF-treated mice did not differ from those of controls...

...E. Giavini; L. Airoldi; M.L. Broccia; G.D. Roversi; M. Prati Three groups of streptozotocin-diabetic rats were maintained during pregnancy on three hyperproteic diets with different protein contents. These differences were compensated by an equal quantity of fiber (group 1: protein 55.0%, fiber 4.5...

... was elevated whereas the concentrations of DNA and protein were unchanged, and total lactase activity was reduced. After antibiotic therapy, the liver weight was greater and the body weight increased at the same rate as the controls but was still lower at 14 days. The body weight of the control piglets...

...Ratan Kumar; B.N. Chaudhuri The influence of the maternal thyroid status on the fetal and neonatal myocardial protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism was studied in rats. The neonates born of hypothyroid mothers could not survive beyond 8 days after birth. The offsprings born of hypothyroid...

...Malektaj Yazdani; Tai H. Tran; Pamela M. Conley; Julius Laurent, Jr; Tetsuo Nakamoto Pregnant dams were divided into two subgroups on day 10 of gestation. Half were fed a 20% protein diet and the other half an 8% protein diet. A second group also subdivided was pair-fed with rats of the first group...

... tested, bovine and especially porcine, markedly enhanced the transmission of both BSA and FITC-D. Furthermore, increasing amounts of the model proteins, BSA and bovine IgG (50–200 mg/ml), significantly increased the transfer of FITC-D, whereas unlabelled dextran 70,000 given in similar amounts did...

... period of gestation. Total polyamine content of fetal liver tissue shows a similar trend. However, when liver cell suspension was incubated with exogenous spermine, spermidine and putrescine there is a dose-dependent inhibition in RNA synthesis. Protein synthesis in human fetal liver cells was stimulated...

... mitochondria retained considerably well-coupled oxidative phosphorylation that functioned in sites II and III prior to site I. The ratio of protein to phospholipid contents (mg/μmol) was low in these mitochondria, in which phospholipids were characterized by their high phosphatidylethanolamine contents (43...

...R.E. Jones The absorption of 125 I-bovine IgG after oral administration to young rats has been followed by gel filtration and quantitatively by TCA precipitation. The wide spectrum of protein derivatives crossing the gut wall have been utilised to compare the relative effectiveness of 10% TCA...

...Hans-Henner Gustke; Sabina Kowalewski The effect of perfusion of the human term placenta on the content of hemoglobin, protein, nucleic acids, water and LDH total and isoenzyme activities was determined. Whereas a 7% increase of tissue water was observed upon perfusion, all other parameters showed...

...Margit Hamosh; Morton R. Simon; Darlene K. Mullon; Paul Hamosh The uptake and metabolism of 3 H-ρalmitate, 14 C-choline, 14 C-proline and 3 H-glucosamine were studied in lung slices prepared from rats aged 2–12 days. Palmitate incorporation increased from 18.2 ± 2.8 nmol/mg protein/h 2 days before...

...Rosamund A. Hall; Elsie M. Widdowson An experiment described previously showed a large increase in weight and protein of the intestinal mucosa of suckling piglets during the first 24 h after birth. This did not take place in piglets that were starved. The results might have been partly due...

...U.K. Misra; N. Srivastava To 6-day-old pups, 1,000 IU of vitamin A were successively fed on the 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th days of age and its effects on liver studied on the 23rd day. Feeding of vitamin A to pups significantly reduced liver DNA, protein, total and free cholesterol and total...

... h after birth in response to food, and then to gain weight more slowly over the next 9 days. Others, the liver, spleen, brain and skeletal muscles gained more weight per day between days 1 and 10 than they did during the first 24 h. The gain in weight is due primarily to incorporation of protein...

...Frances J. Zeman; Elsie M. Widdowson Absorption of 14 C-oleic acid and 14 C-triolein was measured in newborn young of guinea pigs which had been adequately nourished or deprived of protein in the last half of pregnancy. The young of protein-deprived dams absorbed significantly greater amounts...
