How much air do you breathe in a lifetime?Every minute, multiple liters of air are cycled through your lungs.(more) See all videos for this article In general structure, the human body follows a plan that can be described as a cylinder enclosing two tubes and a rod. This body plan is...
we systematically studied: (1) the phylogeny of flatfishes, which provides an evolutionary framework for better understanding the genetic adaptation of flatfishes; and (2) genes that experienced significant alterations, to gain insights into the genetic basis underlying the unusual body plan of flatfi...
Island faunas can be characterized by gigantism in small animals and dwarfism in large animals, but the extent to which this so-called ‘island rule’ provides a general explanation for evolutionary trajectories on islands remains contentious. Here we us
In addition, it is already known that plasma cortisol of Nile tilapia can be changed under low temperature condition (Barcellos et al., 1999). Fatty acids are partly responsible for the cell membrane structure, fluidity, and functionality (Corrêa et al., 2017). Freshwater species can convert ...
Russell bodies (RBs) were first described as electron-dense bodies in the cytoplasm of myeloma cells [1] and later recognized as intracellular inclusions of aggregated immunoglobulins (Igs) enclosed in dilated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) [2]. This cytoplasmic structure was named after William Russell...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The effects of parenteral growth hormone, glutamine supplementation, and a high carbohydrate-low fat (HCLF) diet on gut adaptation in short-bowel syndrome are unclear. The aim of this study was to compare effects of this treatment regimen and placebo in patients with short-...
Therefore, we propose an open hypothesis that habitat preferences, in combination with physiological differentiation and adaptation, would be involved in the large body size evolution of Bagarius. The enhancement of the glycolysis/pyruvate metabolic process in BY found in this study might be crucial ...
and HYT500 groups shows a completely normal architecture. There is no difference in the histological structure of the kidneys of males and females in the HYT5, HYT50, and HYT500 groups compared to the NS group. Meanwhile, the colons of both the male and female offspring in the HS and HY...
It took a long term to establish itself, and it will take time for your body to remove it and rebuild the structure of the skin. Detoxification helps enormously. Helping your tissues rebuild themselves in a healthier, sleeker form is the second part of any anti-cellulite approach. What you...
