“Myocardial function has been found to be subtly impaired. There is also an increased cardiovascular risk, caused by increased serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as well as reduced levels of high-density lipoprotein. These adverse effects can be improved or corrected by ...
Hence, it is likely that the doses we chose fall within the physiological range in mice as they do in rats (Scharfman et al, 2007). Higher doses of 10 mg/kg and above resulted in uterine weight increases beyond the sham-operated control mice, and it produced supraphysiological levels of...
Expression of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor in plaque macrophages in aortic root cross-sections of control (A) low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)−/− and (B) FSHβ−/−:LDLR−/− mice. Arrowheads in the magnified inserts indicate examples of FSH receptor-staining. ...
It has been recognized for some time that relatively short-term SIT and HIIT protocols can rapidly enhance the capacity for aerobic energy metabolism [25,26] and elicit physiological remodeling that resembles changes induced by MICT. While relatively few direct comparisons have been made, in one of...
This “edge effect”27was first described in the retina by Hartline.43Harline found that when a given region oflimulusretina is activated, a reduction of lateral inhibition creates a physiological border between activated and silent zones. There is a serious possibility that an analogous mechanism...
A summary of redox potentials for the generation of these ROS at physiological pH are shown in Supplementary Table 1 and referenced in Fig. 3. (5) Light-driven mechanisms: This includes photocatalytic activity31,68, in which light, typically at a wavelength from ultraviolet (UV) to visible ...
Lowering oxygen from atmospheric level (hyperoxia) to the physiological level (physioxia) of articular cartilage promotes mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) chondrogenesis. However, the literature is equivocal regarding the benefits of physioxic culture on preventing hypertrophy of MSC-derived chondrocytes. Articu...
145. Kaushik et al. tested the energy producing capabilities ofSynechococcususing a two-chamber photosynthetic MFC built with light transparent glass146. The MFC operated through a 12-h light/12-h dark cycle under a white light intensity of 15 W/m2. Maximum power density output of the ...
To simplify the computation of the filter parameters, and to provide a scale that has more resolution and physiological significance than the specifications given above, the magnitude specifications are expressed in a logarithmic scale. Defining the loss function (in decibels, or dBs) as (7.19)α(...
the presynaptic release probability and mEPSC amplitude are the same for mature and immature GCs, thus the relative size of EPSCs reflects the likelihood that activate fibres innervate each cell. Assuming random connectivity, binomial statistics can be used to estimate the density and overlap of syna...
