Potassium chloride (KCl: 330 mg/ml) was assessed as an euthanasia agent in American lobsters (Homarus americanus). Two groups of 10 lobsters (408.2 to 849.9 g) were maintained at 11.9 to 12.1 degrees C ('warm') and 1.5 to 2.5 degrees C ('cold') to evaluate the possible effect of ambient temperature
The balance between excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs is critical for the physiological control of motoneurons. The maintenance of a low-intracellular chloride concentration by the potassium chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is essential for the efficacy of fast synaptic inhibition of mature
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of resveratrol on cytokine levels and oxidative stress in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries.To induce intestinal I/R, the superior mesenteric artery was occluded for 30 min and then Cation chloride cotransporters have been reported to be expressed in neurons in the hippocampus and to regulate intracellular Cl(-) concentration. The neuron-specific K-Cl cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is necessary for maintaining the low intracellular chloride concentration required for the
We describe a case of recurrent deterioration of renal function in a 54-year-old man who was found to have metabolic alkalosis, with a maximum PaCO(2) of 73.9 mmHg and a bicarbonate concentration of 55.3 mmol/l. He had a gradual exacerbation of nausea and vomiting due to atrophic gastritis, with a
Characterizing the integrative physiology of the bladder requires whole organ preparations. The purpose of this study was to validate an isolated large animal (pig) bladder preparation, through arterial and intravesical drug administration, intravesical pressure recording, and filming of surface
Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mature brain, but is excitatory during development and after motor nerve injury. This difference in GABAergic action depends on the intracellular chloride ion concentration ([Cl-]i), primarily regulated by
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy in the dog for research on partial left ventriculectomy (PLV).
METHODS
An intracoronary catheter was introduced into the left main stem via the first diagonal branch in a retrograde fashion in 6 adult FBI (Foxhound Boehringer Ingelheim)
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to evaluate modified adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy in the dog for research on partial left ventriculectomy (PLV).
METHODS
An intracoronary catheter was introduced into the left main stem via the first marginal branch in a retrograde fashion in 12 adult
An acute outbreak of C. orbiculata L. poisoning in a flock of 16 Angora Goat rams is described. Typical signs of acute bufadienolide cardiac glycoside toxicity were manifested and 6 animals died. In the 2 animals examined histopathologically multiple foci of myocardial degeneration and necrosis were
Dehydration, electrolyte disturbance, and acid-base imbalance are the most significant consequences of diarrhea in calves. We aimed to determine blood gas, hematological, electrolyte, and biochemical values and investigate the relationship between the physical status and blood parameters in Korean
Coronary artery endothelial and myocardial ultrastructure was studied in guinea-pig heart-lung preparations (HLP) subjected to ischemic cardiac arrest induced by three hypothermic solutions. Two of the solutions used had high potassium chloride concentration ("Alabama" and "St. Thomas") while the
OBJECTIVE
To study effects of botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) on prostate contractile function in dogs.
METHODS
One hundred units (N=6) or 200 units (N=5) BoNT/A was injected into dog prostate. Sham control group (N=7) received normal saline injections. Before and 1 mo after injection, prostate urethral
The aim of the present study was to investigate long term effects of motor denervation by botulinum toxin complex type A (BoNT/A) from Clostridium Botulinum, on the afferent fibers originating from the gastrocnemius muscle of rats. Animals were divided in 2 experimental groups: 1) untreated animals
An important aspect of aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology includes the degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCNs), possibly due to disrupted nerve growth factor (NGF) signaling. Previous studies on disrupted NGF signaling have focused on changes in retrograde transport.
