Albumin metabolism following partial hepatectomy in the rat

Author: Lloyd, Elwyn Allden Date: 1980 In the work reported here the author set out to investigate five aspects of albumin metabolism following partial hepatectomy in the rat. 1. The plasma albumin levels following partial hepatectomy. 2. The effect of partial hepatectomy on the ... Read more
The Budd-Chiari syndrome : a study of diagnosis, haemodynamics and treatment

Author: Clain, David Jocelyn Date: 1968 Symptomatic occlusion of the hepatic veins is a rare condition caused by tumour or thrombus arising either locally or by extension from the inferior vena cava. It is usually called the Budd-Chiari syndrome. The etiology remains unknown in ... Read more
The fumonisin B₁-fed rat as a model for liver injury, oval ('progenitor') cell proliferation, and carcinogenesis

Author: Lemmer, Eric Richard Date: 1999 Fumonisin B₁ (FB₁‚ ) is a carcinogenic mycotoxin produced by the fimgus Fusarium moniliforme in maize, and is hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic in rats. The goal of this dissertation was to characterise the FB₁-fed rat as a model for liver ... Read more
Human glutathione S-transferases : characterization, tissue distribution and kinetic studies

Author: Corrigall, Anne Vint Date: 1988 In this study the purification of human basic and near-neutral liver, and human basic and acidic lung glutathione S-transferases (GSH S-T) was undertaken. Purification of the basic and near-neutral GSH S-T was achieved using a combination of ... Read more
The identification, purification and characterization of the fetal rat liver glutathione S-transferase isoenzyme YcYfetus

Author: Scott, Trevor Robert Date: 1988 This study has examined the expression of the glutathione S-transferases (GSH S-T) in fetal rat livers in order to provide more information about the role played by this important group of enzymes in the fetus. The study commenced with an ... Read more
A neutral protease of the neutrophil surface : role in the proteolysis of C-reactive protein and fibrinogen

Author: Kelly, Sharon Lesley Date: 1995 Both of the acute phase reactants, C-reactive protein and fibrinogen, as well as neutrophils have been shown to accumulate at sites of tissue injury or inflammation. The association of C-reactive protein with neutrophils and the concomitant ... Read more
Proteases of the neutrophil membrane represent an alternative fibrinolytic pathway to that mediated by plasmin

Author: Adams, Susan Ann Date: 1996 The cellular components of the blood, which become associated with fibrin through specific cellular adhesive processes, play a significant role in the breakdown of fibrin. Fibrinolysis by elastase and cathepsin G, enzymes present within the ... Read more
