Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Growth cartilage is found in the articular‐epiphyseal cartilage complex (AECC) and the physis. It has a temporary blood supply organised as end arteries. Vascular failure is associated with osteochondrosis, but infection can also obstruct vessels. The location of bacteria was recently compared to arterial perfusion, and the results indicated that they were located in the distal tips of ...

Abstract:
... Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) contributes to the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries and can lead to coronary heart disease. In clinical laboratory testing, the cholesterol content of VLDL (VLDL-C) cannot be assessed directly by the enzymatic colorimetric assay as it can for other lipoproteins, due to lack of a specific sample pretreatment technique. VLDL concentration relies o ...

Abstract:
... Previous studies of epididymal transit in the pig have had insufficient animal numbers to provide a comprehensive picture of a continuous process. The present study attempts to addresses this issue. Radioactively labeled thymidine was infused into the testicular arteries of 48 sexually rested young adult boars of the Goettingen Miniature Pig breed. Hemicastrations were performed in random order in ...

Abstract:
... Birds are an enigma: their plasma glucose concentration is 1.5–2 times higher than similar-sized mammals, yet they do not normally exhibit symptoms of diabetes. We hypothesized that feeding adult mourning doves a refined carbohydrate diet (white bread: WB) for four weeks would raise plasma glucose concentrations and alter metabolic pathways and endothelial function when compared to birds receiving ...

Endothelial cells (ECs) are activated, arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) proliferate, macrophages are activated, and foam cells are developed, leading to dysfunctional ECs. Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, in ...
