is controlled by the hypothalamus gland in the brain, but involves many other organs, including the thyroid gland, the pituitary gland, the kidneys and the pancreas. Hormones produced by the endocrine system affect growth, sexual development, water absorption and energy consumption, among other ...
An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function for the body. There are many major organ systems in the body, including the nervous system, the respiratory system and the digestive system. All of these systems are made up of complex interactions among ...
The kidneys help the body eliminate metabolic wastes and keep the water balance in the body. The key locations for food digestion and nutrient absorption are the stomach and intestines. The liver is one of the most crucial organs. Its multiple jobs include cleansing the blood of pollutants and...
The absorption and utilization of lipids are crucial for development. After the endogenous-to-exogenous nutrient source transition (eeNST) of zebrafish at 5 dpf, lipid absorption primarily occurs in the intestine, while lipid metabolism is predominantly regulated by the liver3. To further investigate ...
as emphasized by concentration dependent clusters observed onprincipal component analysisscore plots. The concentration of five metabolites was either increased (creatine, spermine) or decreased (glutamine, GABA and choline) in MMC samples, and these metabolites were found responsible for this clustering....
Recent studies showed that 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid-related hepatoprotective (a metabolite of quercetin) was related to the expression of enzymes responsible for sulfation, glucuronidation and glutathione metabolism/synthesis and increased nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 translocation to the...
Their model, which measured light absorption across the dorsal and ventral regions of oplophorid eyes, showed that the dorsal eye retained the structure seen in shallow-water shrimp (high resolution and sensitivity to downwelling light) and only the ventral eye was modified for enhanced contrast17...
The blood and vessels are responsible for heat dissipation via vasoconstriction and vasodilatation in peripheral regions such as the fingers, palms and ear lobes, and they also contribute to thermal regulation, which strongly affects cellular proliferation and functions7,8. Decreased body temperature, ...
hydration kinetics can be used for modelling water absorption rate; response surface model can be used for modelling microwave drying condition; deformation-flow model can be adopted for modelling the rheological properties; saturation kinetics model can be used for characterizing physiologic nutrient respo...
Heat inactivation was accomplished by incubating the solubilized elastase in a water bath at 100°C for 2 minutes. The presence or absence of a perineal bulge was recorded after 2 to 4 hours, 24, 48, and 72 hours by investigators blinded to treatment status. For statistical purposes, the ...
