Mechanical Properties of Maturing Dystrophic Skeletal Muscle
… held belief that the mechanical properties of maturing dystrophic compared to control skeletal muscle membranes are weaker, leading to onset of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We built on a previous report from our lab that suggested sarcolemmal membranes from dystrophic mice are not more …

Cytoplasmic RNA-dependent RNA-synthesis in maturing chicken erythrocytes.
An RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from ribosomes of maturing chicken erythrocytes was investigated. Concurrent with an increase in globin and RNA synthesis during phenylhydrazine induced anaemia, the total and specific activities of ribosome bound RNA-dependent RNA polymerase increased 40 and 9.4 …

Effects of the Antiandrogen Cyproterone Acetate on Maturing Male Mice.
Antiandrogens are defined as substances capable of selectively suppressing the biological activity of androgens at their target sites (Dorfman, 1970). In the last two decades, extensive use has been made of antiandrogens, both clinically and as a research tool. They have been used for hirsutism and …

Exploring the gene regulatory dynamics of the maturing human brain
The human brain develops gradually overtime where distinct molecular profiles are established in the embryo. These molecular profiles continue to change through aging and in response to environmental factors. The complexity and dynamics of gene expression and regulation at the cell type-specific …

Increased structure-bound proteolytic activity in maturing dystrophic skeletal muscle
… activity contributes to the onset of DMD in maturing (birth to weaning) dystrophic skeletal muscles and to determine if increased calpain activity was due to the relative distribution of calpain and calpastatin, calpain's endogenous inhibitor. Calpain activity was assessed in quadriceps and …

Risk factors and protective factors for depression in early maturing females
… households. Statistical analyses revealed early maturing females reported higher levels of depressive symptoms than on-time and late maturing females. Early-maturing females who were raised in one-parent households demonstrated higher levels of depressive symptoms than early-maturing females who …

Clinical Outcomes after Endovascular Management for Non-maturing Native Arteriovenous Fistula
목적: 미성숙 자가동정맥루에서 시행한 혈관 내 치료의 성공률과 개통률을 평가하고 개통률에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 알아보고자 한다. 대상과 방법: 2006년 1월부터 2011년 3월까지 불충분한 자가동정맥루 성숙으로 혈관 내치료를 시행 받은 141명을 대상으로 후향적으로 진행하였다. 혈관 내 치료 후 개통률은 Kaplan-Meier techinique을 통해 추정하였다. 환자의 연령, 성별, 동반이환 질환, 동정맥루 종류, 동정맥루 형성 기간, 협착부위의 개수, 협착 정도, 우회정맥 치료 여부에 따른 1차개통률의 차이를 …

The activity and content of calpains in maturing dystrophic muscle membranes
Increased calcium-activated calpain proteolysis in the sarcolemma membrane is thought to be a primary mechanism in the pathophysiology of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). However, few studies have tested this possibility prior to the overt signs of the dystrophy. The purpose of this study was to …

Finding growth in a maturing market : strategic implications for the software industry
This thesis explores the changes occurring in the software industry and the strategic implications thereof. The software industry has historically benefited from the rapid introduction of new platforms and applications, an increasing user base and nearly contiguous cycles of growth. However, this …

The relationship between a church's discipleship practices and the development of maturing disciples
… three churches that had a higher percentage of maturing believers and the three churches that had a lower percentage of maturing believers. Included in this chapter is an evaluation of the research design. A concluding summary probes the implications and applications this study has upon …

Biochemical composition of maturing soybean seeds and functional properties of 7S and 11S proteins
The quality and storage stability of Hack and Williams 82 soybeans at four maturation stages were studied. As compared to mature beans, trypsin inhibitor, urease and lipoxygenase (LA) activities were lower in immature seeds, but free fatty acid (FFA) was higher and oil color was greener. During …

Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Handling in Maturing Skeletal Muscle From Two Models of Dystrophic Mice
… determined in quadriceps muscles obtained from maturing dystrophic and control mice prior to the overt signs of the disease at ages ~9 and 21 days. In addition, the content of several key Ca²⁺ handling proteins, including two isoforms of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum ATPase pump (SERCA 1 & …

Immune Response Markers are Prevalent in the mRNA Expression Profile of Maturing Dystrophic Murine Skeletal Muscle
… identified by the global expression of mRNA in maturing dystrophin- and utrophin-deficient mouse (mdx:utrn-/-) muscles. Two potential dystrophic onset mechanisms targeted for analysis were (1) disrupted expression of calcium handling proteins; and, (2) increased expression of immune response …

The Effects of Prenatally Induced Hypothyroidism of the Neural Development and Problem Solving Ability of Maturing Hypothyroid Rats
The problem. The problem was to yield neonate rats hypothyroid by treating pregnant female rats with propylthiouracil (PTU), and then to evaluate the problem solving ability and the changes in the brain of the hypothyroid offspring. Procedure. Three 8-day sperm-positive female rats were given PTU …

Effects of dietary calcium, phytoestrogen rich diets and estrogen on intestinal calcium transport proteins, egg and eggshell quality in maturing layer hens / Ali Asghar Saki.
Investigates whether estrogen modulates the proteins associated with calcium transport (eg calcium binding protein, calbindin D28k) in the intestinal tissue during sexual maturation of laying hens. Studies the temporal and spatial expression of estrogen receptors (ER) and calcium binding protein in …
