- * This study found that 95% of the Se absorbed by K. unispora was converted into organic selenium, with significant portions bound to proteins (46.17%) and polysaccharides (16.78%).
- * K. unispora also metabolized organic Se into compounds like selenomethionine (30.26%) and selenocystine (3.02%), revealing new potential for selenium enrichment in yeast species.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of particle size on liver by Monte Carlo simulation and phantom studies at both 1.5 T and 3.0 T.

Background And Objective: To model hepatic steatosis in adult humans with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease based on stereology and spatial distribution of fat droplets from liver biopsy specimens.
Methods: Histological analysis was performed on 30 adult human liver biopsy specimens with varying degrees of steatosis. Morphological features of fat droplets were characterized by gamma distribution function (GDF) in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) spaces from three aspects: 1) size distribution indicating non-uniformity of fat droplets in radius; 2) nearest neighbor distance distribution indicating heterogeneous accumulation (i.
