phaseolus pauciflorus/atrophy

The pattern of lectin histochemistry in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded normal jejunal and subtotal villous atrophy specimens from patients with gluten sensitive enteropathy were compared. There was no significant difference in the binding pattern of five lectins (Arachis hypogaea, Canavalia

It is not currently clear whether the cortical atrophy observed in Huntington disease (HD) is entirely a direct consequence of the disease or at least partially a secondary consequence of striatal atrophy. This is of major importance for evaluating the possible therapeutic value of intrastriatal

In a 'double blind' study, 2 series of adult rats were trained to traverse a narrow bar or a horizontal ladder for a water reward. Hindlimb placement (measured as hindlimb foot slips) of the subjects trained on the narrow platform was ranked. The subjects traversing the ladder were videotaped and

The role of postsynaptic neurons in the maintenance of adult terminal axon arbours was investigated in the rat olivocerebellar system. The degeneration of Purkinje cells, the main target of olivary axons in the cerebellar cortex, was obtained by intraparenchymal application of kainate. The

Retrograde and anterograde degeneration have been reported to be sufficient stimuli to activate glial cells, which, in turn, are involved in phagocytosis of degenerating material. Here we describe a double-fluorescence technique which allows for direct and simultaneous visualization of both labeled

Recent studies suggest that chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in the retinal interphotoreceptor matrix (IPM) play a role in maintaining photoreceptor viability. We report herein studies on the retinas from mice with mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII), a storage disorder resulting from virtual

Atrophic tubules in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) may have various morphologic appearances: some show microscopic features of "classic" atrophic tubules (thick, wrinkled tubular basement membrane and simplified epithelium), others show "thyroidization" (round tubules with simplified epithelium and

Gibberellins and auxins were extracted from embryos and suspensors of Phaseolus coccineus L. at two stages of development: A) heart-shaped embryo and B) cotyledonary embryo with suspensor in the initial stage of degeneration. The time interval between the two stages was 5-6 days.In both embryos and

The jejunal mucosa of pigs fed diets containing Phaseolus vulgaris beans was characterized grossly as mucosal atrophy and microscopically as atrophy and blunting of the villus in association with elongation of crypts with cells with increased mitotic activity. These morphologic findings were most

This paper deals with the incorporation of bean flour (Phaseolus vulgaris, var. Tórtola) (BF) made at laboratory scale in bread enrichment, by substituting 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% wheat flour by bean flour. First, wheat and bean flours blends were prepared to study the farinological properties of these

Retrospective isolation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) may cause deterioration of the phenotype during the long-term cultivation. Therefore, prospective isolation is essential for understanding the exact characteristics of intact NPCs in the brain. However, few suitable specific cell surface

The synaptic interactions between terminals of allocorticostriatal and thalamostriatal fibers and the cholinergic neurons in the nucleus accumbens were investigated using degeneration and dual labelling immunocytochemistry in Wistar rats. The presumptive cholinergic neurons were labelled with

Bean golden yellow mosaic virus (BGYMV, GenBank Accession No. M91604) is reported to be the main bean-infecting (Phaseolus vulgaris) begomovirus in Central America (1,2). Another begomovirus, Bean calico mosaic virus (BCaMV, GenBank Accession No. AF110189), is known to infect P. vulgaris in central

Previous work showed that Tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) lectins exhibit differential cytotoxic effects on cancer cell lines by apoptosis induction. In vivo studies using a Tepary bean lectin fraction (TBLF, 50 mg/kg of body weight) after colon cancer induction in rats showed that TBLF

Lesion-induced axonal degeneration and autoradiography-electron microscopy have been the only reliable anterograde axonal markers available for electron microscopic examination of neuronal circuitry. However, these methods have their limitations. Recently, Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin (PHA-L)
