Distribution of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunoreactivity in the brain of the teleost cyprinus carpio [PDF]
Cholinergic systems play a role in basic cerebral functions and its dysfunction is associated with deficit in neurodegenerative disease. Mechanisms involved in human brain diseases, are often approached by using fish models, especially cyprinids, given ...

Muc5ac mucin expression during rat skin development [PDF]
Some mucin genes have been detected during human embryonic and fetal organ development; however, little is known about mucin expression in epidermal development, neither in humans nor in other species. The present research was developed to explore Muc5ac

Mucosubstances in the porcine gastrointestinal tract: Fixation, staining and quantification [PDF]
Mucins are of great interest in intestinal research and histochemical methods are often employed to identify them. Since it is in the nature of mucins that they are “hard to hold onto” once they come into contact with water, a frequently used medium in ...

From fix to fit into the autoptic human brains. [PDF]
Formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded (FFPE) human brain tissues are very often stored in formalin for long time. Formalin fixation reduces immunostaining, and the DNA/RNA extraction from FFPE brain tissue becomes suboptimal.

Induction of hepatocellular carcinoma in mice and the role of melatonin
2-Nitropropane (2-NP) is suggested to be a human carcinogen, a genotoxicant and hepatocarcinogen in rodents. The present study was designed to evaluate the role of melatonin (Mel) as an anticancerous agent in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) induced by 2 ...

Exclusive neuronal expression of SUCLA2 in the human brain [PDF]
SUCLA2 encodes the ATP-forming subunit (A-SUCL-) of succinyl-CoA ligase, an enzyme of the citric acid cycle. Mutations in SUCLA2 lead to a mitochondrial disorder manifesting as encephalomyopathy with dystonia, deafness and lesions in the basal ganglia ...
