The Regulation of Muscle Structure and Metabolism by Mio/dChREBP in Drosophila.

All cells require energy to perform their specialized functions. Muscle is particularly sensitive to the availability of nutrients due to the high-energy requirement for muscle contraction. Therefore the ability of muscle cells to obtain, store and utilize energy is essential for the function of these cells.

[Histoenzymatic research and internal irradiation. V. Histochemical modifications in rat liver with the use of colloidal Au198].

The histochemical behaviour of succinic dehydrogenase, isocitric dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and acetylglucosaminidase activities was studied in rat liver treated with Au198-colloidal. In these experimental conditions it was found that the hepatocytes present changes in the enzymatic activities examined, generally proportional to the doses employed. With lower doses of radionuclides, the histoenzymatic changes have a local character and are completely reversible after a month.

[Histoenzymatic studies and internal irradiation. III. Histoenzymatic changes of the kidney treated with chloromeridrin Hg 197].

The histochemical behaviour of alkaline phosphatase, adenosintriphosphatase, acid phosphatase and acetylglucosaminidase activities was studied in rat kidney treated with Chloromeridrin Hg. In these experimental conditions it was found that the nephrocytes in the proximal convoluted tubule present changes in the enzymatic activities examined, generally proportional to the doses employed. With lower doses of radionuclides, the histoenzymatic changes have a local character and are completely reversible after a month.
