Regulation of Fatty Acid Oxidation by Twist 1 in the Metabolic Adaptation of T Helper Lymphocytes to Chronic Inflammation.

Objective: Inflamed tissue is characterized by low availability of oxygen and nutrients. Yet CD4+ T helper lymphocytes persist over time in such tissue and probably contribute to the chronicity of inflammation. This study was undertaken to analyze the metabolic adaptation of these cells to the inflamed environment.

Histological and ultrastructural aspects of the nasal complex in the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena.

During the evolution of odontocetes, the nasal complex was modified into a complicated system of passages and diverticulae. It is generally accepted that these are essential structures for nasal sound production. However, the mechanism of sound generation and the functional significance of the epicranial nasal complex are not fully understood.

[Toxicological evaluation of saccharose carbonic acid esters in basic subchronic feeding trials with rats. 1. Effect of saccharose fatty acid polyester].

Groups of male and female rats received a sucrose fatty acid polyesters containing product (SPE) in their diet for 13 weeks at levels of 0, 5, 10 or 15%. Additional groups were pair-fed to the high-dose SPE-group (standard diet, 92.5%) or given food containing 7.
