Effect of Fat Feeding on Pro-oxidant and Anti-oxidant Enzyme Systems in Rat Intestine: Possible Role in the Turnover of Enterocytes
Immature epithelial cells generated in the crypt base undergo differentiation while progressing to the villus tip, where the cells upon apoptosis are detached from the underlying muscular tissue. We previously...

Evidence for a Carrier-Mediated Mechanism for Thiamine Transport to Human Jejunal Basolateral Membrane Vesicles
Recent studies from our laboratory have demonstrated the presence of a pH-dependent, amiloride-sensitive, electroneutral carrier-mediated exchange for thiamine absorption in the human small intestinal brush-bo...

Regeneration of plants from mesophyll protoplasts ofNicotiana plumbaginifolia Viv.
Protoplasts ofNicotiana plumbaginifolia were isolated by a one step enzymatic method. They were cultured in Ohyama and Nitsch's medium supplemented with 2,4-D (1.0 mg/l), benzylaminopurine (1.0 mg/l) and 14% sucr...
