glycerol/atrophy

Intraneural injection of pure glycerol induces Wallerian degeneration with subsequent regeneration. In agreement with other reports, we observed an increase in endoneurial polyunsaturated fatty acids 8 days after the glycerol injection. Levels then fell until day 30. After a period of 5 months,

In the present study, we examined muscle regeneration following two types of chemical injuries, cardiotoxin (CTX) and glycerol, in order to compare their effect on the morphological characteristics during muscle regeneration, in addition we studied the structural changes of the intramuscular

Nearly degenerate asymmetric stretches with perpendicular transition dipole moments of the deuterated guanidinium cation (DGdm(+)) in D(2)O and D-glycerol/D(2)O mixtures at 1600 cm(-1) were investigated by linear FTIR spectroscopy and polarization dependent femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The

In this study, the inhibiting effects of low-molecular weight polyols on the deterioration of gluten network and noodle texture were systematically investigated, based on dough rheological properties, and the macroscopic, structural and water status changes of gluten protein during storage of fresh

This prospective randomized double-masked study investigated the effects of 20 mg lutein supplementation with two different capsules (beeswax or glycerol fatty acid esters) for 6 months on the fellow eyes of 39 Japanese patients with unilateral age-related macular degeneration, and assessed the

Nowadays consumers are aware of environmental problems. As an alternative to petrochemical polymers for food packaging, researchers have been focused on biopolymeric materials as raw material. The aim of this study was to evaluate mechanical properties (toughness, burst strength and distance to

Dandruff is a common cosmetic condition associated with flaky scalp skin and pruritus. It is generally treated with regular use of antifungal-based shampoos. Research into factors underlying the characteristic skin lesions has revealed perturbations in epidermal differentiation and a dramatic

Oral glycerol was administered to eight patients with meningeal carcinomatosis or acute leukemia in whom ventricular catheters and Ommaya reservoirs had been implanted for the purpose of intrathecal chemotherapy or chemoprophylaxis. Intraventricular pressure was monitored continuously via the Ommaya

Endoneurial cell response and type of nerve fibre damage were studied after perineural injections of 7% phenol-aqua and pure glycerol. Our previous studies have shown that phenol and glycerol induce different types of nerve fibre degeneration after intraneural injections: phenol dissolves axons and

Glycerol is a known agent in the therapy of chronic tic douloureux. It has been used for about 20 years in percutaneous, retrogasserian minimal-invasive rhizotomy, although the pharmacological mechanism of the pain relief involved remains unclear. To investigate glycerol treatment as a possible

In a long-term study the effect of glycerol and phenol-glycerol on rats mandibular nerve was analysed. The substances were applicated perineurally. Nerves treated with glycerol did not show any severe pathological changes. Only the number of desintegrations of myelin seemed to be more pronounced.

BACKGROUND Cerebral microdialysis (CMD) is a valuable tool for monitoring compounds in the cerebral extracellular fluid (ECF). Glycerol is one such compound which is regarded as a marker of cell membrane decomposition. Notably, in some acutely brain-injured patients, CMD-glycerol levels rise without

OBJECTIVE In recent years, injection of pure glycerol has been used successfully for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. However, the mode of action of this therapy remains unclear. The present experiment was undertaken to examine histologically the morphologic changes produced by extraneural
