... in the organ development, body function and reproduction [ 5 ]. Total adipose tissue RNA was extracted using a total RNA Isolation Kit (mirVana™, Ambion, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil). Six microarrays were performed from the CD–CD group ( n= 3) and LCD–CD group ( n= 3). Briefly, 300 μg of total RNA was reverse...

... have demonstrated the requirement for the FGF signalling axis in prostate development and homoeostasis. The aberrant induction of this axis in either compartment of the prostate results in developmental disorders, disrupts the homoeostatic balance and leads to prostate carcinogenesis. FGFs are also...

... analysis of lipids of the organic phase obtained from Xenopus embryos at different developmental stages after a 24 hr pulse of 0.1 µM [1-3H]sphingosine. Numbers indi- cate the day of embryo development and M labels the fractions undergone to NaOH-methanol treatment. Standards: (St1) PE and St2, from top...

...Luciano Dalla Libera; John H. Collins The expression of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) was investigated during chicken gizzard development. The molecular weight and the antigenic properties of MLCK did not change during development. The use of anion exchange high performance liquid...

... is Developmentally Regulated Alessandro Lentini, Laura Falasea, Franeesco Autuori, and Luciana Dini m Received June 28, 1992 We studied the simultaneous binding of galactose and mannose-exposing ligands in sinusoidal rat liver cells during development and aging. The galactose-specific receptors were visualized using...

.... The present work examines the role of periodicity per se in cyclic AMP-mediated stimulation of cell differentiation. For this purpose we use Agip53, a Dictyostelium mutant which does not develop beyond the vegetative state but can be made to aggregate and differentiate by reiterated applications of cyclic AMP...

... recently cellular and molecular biological data has been collected describing the development of this embryo. The recent description of a transformation system for sea urchin eggs has further enhanced the utility of this system for developmental studies (McMahon et al., 1985; Flytzanis et al., 1985...

... activity of phosphofructokinase 2 exhibits remarkable developmental changes. It is high at term, moderate in the fetal as well as in the mature organ, and low during suckling. The level of the enzyme during development is controlled by pancreatic and adrenal hormones. INTRODUCTION Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate...
