The Renal Response To Ringer's Infusion In Developing Rats, Brian Stephen Misanko
The Renal Response To Ringer's Infusion In Developing Rats, Brian Stephen Misanko
Biomedical Sciences ETDs
In order to study the effectiveness of body water and electrolyte regulation in young animals, the developmental pattern of renal function of rats in response to body fluid volume expansion with Ringer’s was investigated. Clearance experiments were performed on male Wistar rats of two age groups, twenty to thirty days and forty to sixty days of age. After two hours of a stabilization period, urine was collected for three consecutive twenty minute periods to establish a control value. The rats were then given an intravenous infusion of mammalian Ringer's solution of a volume equal to 4.6% o: body weight. Urine …

A Study Of The Topological Forms Of Mitochondrial Dna In Akr Mice, Deborah Carol Newman

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) normally occurs in multicellular animals as a double-stranded covalently closed circular form with a contour length of approximately 5 µ. In addition to the normal monomer length circular molecules of 5 µ, circular forms of mtDNA with twice or several times the length of the monomeric form have been described in several systems. Dimers may be found in two forms: 1) unicircular dimers consisting of two monomeric length molecules linked in a head to tail structure, 2) catenated forms with two or more monomers interlocked as links in a chain. The latter are most commonly observed and …
