An Assay to Evaluate the Function of Liposomal Platelet Substitutes Delivered to Platelet Aggregates Open
Aggregation of liposomal platelet substitutes with activated platelets is the primary endpoint to estimate hemostatic potential. Although light transmission aggregometry is a "gold standard" in assessing platelet aggregation in vitro

Comparison of glucose tolerance between wild-type mice and mice with double knockout of neuromedin U and neuromedin S Open
Recently, it has been proposed that neuromedin U (NMU) is "decretin", which suppresses insulin secretion from the pancreas in vitro. Here we examined the possible involvement of NMU in insulin secretion in vivo by comparing the plasma gluc…

Sex difference of hyperinsulinemia in the C57BL/6J-Daruma (obese) mouse Open
The C57BL/6J-Daruma mouse is an animal model of obesity derived from the original genetically obese ICR-Daruma mouse by transfer of the phenotype into the C57BL/6J background by backcrossing into the C57BL/6J strain. Although, like the ori…

Effect of kumquat (<i>Fortunella crassifolia</i>) pericarp on natural killer cell activity <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> Open
Natural killer (NK) cells play a key role in innate immune defense against infectious disease and cancer. A reduction of NK activity is likely to be associated with increased risk of these types of disease. In this study, we investigate th…

Comparison of amino acid profiles between rats subjected to forced running and voluntary running exercises Open
It has been suspected that in comparison with glucose or fatty acids, the levels of amino acids may readily change with different forms of exercise. In the present study, we measured the concentrations of amino acids, glucose, triglyceride…

Plasma amino acid profiles at various reproductive stages in female rats Open
We measured the plasma levels of amino acids at various reproductive stages in female rats, including the estrous cycle, pregnancy and lactation, and compared the resulting amino acid profiles using two- or three-dimensional figures. These…
