(turkey) coexpresses distinct hemoglobin (Hb) isoforms, Hb αβ (HbA) and αβ (HbD), at a ratio of ∼3:1 (HbA:HbD). Herein, the reactivities of HbA and HbD were investigated in their native and free fatty acid (FFA)-modified states. Results indicated that HbD displays elevated autoxidation () and an increased propensity to oxidize lipids in its reduced (oxy) and oxidized (met) forms.

Objective: To compare the biomechanical properties of clamp rod internal fixation (CRIF)/rod and LC-DCP/rod constructs in a canine femoral gap model.
Study Design: Cadaveric biomechanical study.
Sample Population: Canine femora (n = 10 pair).
DNA mismatch repair (DMR) functions to maintain genome stability. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells deficient in DMR show a microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype characterized by repeat length alterations at microsatellite sequences. Mice deficient in Pms2, a mammalian homolog of bacterial mutL, develop cancer and display MSI in all tissues examined, including the male germ line where a frequency of approximately 10% was observed.
