Previous studies showed that livers from carnivorous birds have a higher gluconeogenic capacity and higher levels of gluconeogenic enzymes than livers from granivorous birds. In this work we compare the effects of fasting ...

1. Precision-cut liver slices are one of the in vitro models used in studies concerning xenobiotic metabolism. Sparse information on this field is actually available for cattle and other veterinary species. 2. The aim ...

Regarding the stimulating effect of a filtrate from normal adult rat liver on the respiration of certain areas of normal adult rat CNS (brain cortex, diencephalon, midbrain) (1947) further results have been achieved: ...

When liver glycogen was reduced by fasting of the rats or by glyco-genolysis in vitro, 10-4 M DNP had an inhibitory effect on basal oxygen consumption which was proportional to the glycogen content. With initial glycogen ...

Combinations of the anthelmintics fenbendazole (FBZ) and triclabendazole (TCBZ) have shown enhanced efficacy against the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica. This study aimed to measuring the constitutive expression of CYP1A1, ...

Species differences in the pattern of metabolism of foreign compounds is a key issue for veterinary practitioners. Comparative studies on the in vitro hepatic metabolism of xenobiotics among different farm animals requires ...

The effect of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) on the synthesis of p-aminohippurate (PAH) by rat liver slices under several experimental conditions was studied. A concentration of 0.025 mM DNP inhibits PAH synthesis, and this effect ...

The segmentation of the human body organ called liver is a highly challenging problem due to the noise, artifacts and the low contrast exhibited by the anatomical structures located around the liver and that are present ...
