Role of altered prednisolone-specific lymphocyte sensitivity in chronic renal failure as a pharmacodynamic marker of acute allograft rejection after kidney transplantation

The effects of four immunosuppressive agents on the in vitro blastogenesis of peripheral blood lymphocytes activated by concanavalin A have been studied using cells from 26 healthy subjects, 34 patients with c...

The cardiac antiarrhythmic effects of polyunsaturated fatty acid

Each year in the United States alone some 250,000 persons die within one hour of an acute myocardial infarction. These deaths are largely due to ischemia-induced ventricular arrhythmias, primarily ventricular ...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids exert antiarrhythmic actions as free acids rather than in phospholipids

Previous studies have shown that exogenous free n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) can prevent tachyarrhythmias caused by specific agents in isolated cardiac myocytes. However, the question as to whether i...

Prevention of ischemia-induced cardiac Sudden death by n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in dogs

The objective of this study was to obtain functional information associated with the prevention by n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of ischemia-induced fatal cardiac ventricular arrhythmias in the intact...

n-3 fatty acids in the prevention of cardiac arrhythmias

In animals and probably in humans n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are antiarrhythmic. A report follows on the recent studies of the antiarrhythmic actions of PUFA. The PUFA stabilize the electrical acti...

The Antiarrhythmic and Anticonvulsant Effects of Dietary N-3 Fatty Acids

It has been shown in animals and probably in humans, that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are antiarrhythmic. We report recent studies on the antiarrhythmic actions of PUFAs. The PUFAs stabilize the e...

Strengthening mechanisms in a rapidly solidified and aged Cu-Cr alloy

A single-roller melt spinning method was used to produce Cu-Cr microcrystal alloy ribbons. Upon proper aging treatment, the strength and hardness of the alloy were remarkably enhanced while the conductivity on...

Effect of air flow rate on scleroglucan synthesis by Sclerotium glucanicum in an airlift bioreactor with an internal loop

The effect of air flow rate upon scleroglucan production in batch cultures of S. glucanicum NRRL 3006 cultivated in airlift reactor with internal loop was studied using air flow rates from 0.25 m³/h to 1.00 m³/h...

Hydrodynamic characteristics and mixing behaviour of Sclerotium glucanicum culture fluids in an airlift reactor with an internal loop used for scleroglucan production

The filamentous fungus, Sclerotium glucanicum NRRL 3006, was cultivated in a 0.008 m³ airlift bioreactor with internal recirculation loop (ARL-IL) for production of the biopolymer, scleroglucan. The rheological b...

Membrane Effects of the n-3 Fish Oil Fatty Acids, which Prevent Fatal Ventricular Arrhythmias

Fish oil fatty acids are known to exert beneficial effects on the heart and vascular systems. We have studied the membrane effects on ion channel conductance by the n-3 fish oil fatty acids that account for th...

n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids endogenously synthesized in fat-1 mice are enriched in the mammary gland

In this study, we determined the phospholipid FA composition in the mammary gland of the transgenic Fat-1 mouse. This is the first animal model developed that can endogenously synthesize n−3 PUFA. The synthesi...
