Abstract

Experimental studies of the dynamics of energy exchange in tissues of the rats' visceral organs (brain, heart, liver, and kidney) shortly after hypoxic stimulation displayed substantial variations in the respiratory activity of visceral tissues, and Km for oxygen at the start of the follow-on reaction (24 h, 72 h, and 120 h) which subsided later on (240 h and 360 h). These were in concert with a gross decline in the intensity of visceral tissue breathing at the initial oxygen pressure in vitro and a rise at critical pO2, a decrease in the affinity of cardiac, hepatic and renal tissues for oxygen at the onset of the follow-on reaction and an increase in the affinity at subsequent time points. Throughout the period of observation, high affinity for oxygen was observed in cerebral tissues. Combination of alpha-tocopherol and the hypoxic stimulus substantially suppressed the respiratory activity in all the visceral tissues of rats at the initial oxygen pressure and in the liver and kidney, at critical pO2. Increased utilization of the low pressure oxygen was observed in the brain and the heart. More pronounced changes in tissue affinity for oxygen were revealed in the heart and the liver, and least pronounced, in the brain and the ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
