Retinal dopaminergic amacrine neurons (DA neurons) play a central role in reconfiguring retinal function according to prevailing illumination conditions, yet the mechanisms by which light regulates their activity are poorly understood. We investigated the means by which sustained light responses are evoked in DA neurons. Sustained light responses were driven by cationic currents and persisted in vitro and in vivo in the presence of L-AP4, a blocker of retinal ON-bipolar cells. Several characteristics of these L-AP4-resistant light responses suggested that they were driven by melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), including long latencies, marked poststimulus persistence, and a peak …

Thioredoxin (TRx) is known to control redox homeostasis in cells. In recent years, a specific TRx binding protein called thioredoxin binding protein-2 (TBP-2) was found in other cell types and it appeared to negatively regulate TRx bioavailability and thereby control TRx biological function. In view of the sensitivity of lens transparency to redox status, proper regulation of TRx bioavailability is of the utmost importance. This study was conducted to examine the presence and function of TBP-2 in human lens epithelial cells (HLE B3). We cloned human lens TBP-2 from a human cDNA library (GenBank accession number AY 594328) and showed …

Determinación De Resistencia Antihelmíntica Frente A Las Lactonas Macrocíclicas Por Parte De Nemátodos Gastrointestinales Del Equino Mediante El Test De Reducción De La Oviposición Fecrt En Los Municipios De Aguazul, El Yopal, Maní Y Paz De Ariporo Departamento Del Casanare, Erik Chaparro Salamanca
Medicina Veterinaria
La presente investigación se llevó a cabo en los municipios de Aguazul, El Yopal, Maní y Paz de Ariporo, departamento del Casanare; el objetivo principal fue determinar los grados de resistencia o susceptibilidad antihelmíntica de parásitos gastrointestinales del equino, frente a las lactonas Macrocíclicas (Ivermectina) para lo cual se muestrearon 40 equinos (10 equinos por municipio), criollos dedicados a la reproducción en estado silvestre. A todos los animales se les tomó una muestra de materia fecal el día cero (antes del tratamiento con Ivermectina) y el día 14 (post tratamiento con Ivermectina) (Ivermectina comercial no genérico), estas muestras se procesaron …
