(18) The well-developed thick peritubular matrix (PM) in the middle layer of horse dentin was physico-chemically and also morphologically compared with the intertubular matrix (IM) and the enamel using several microscopes.
(19) The observations show that, after stimulation of the Leydig cells with hCG, the intertubular tissue exhibits an inflammatory-type response and this is associated with focal tissue destruction in the seminiferous tubules.
(20) Individual organisms were found to adhere to the endothelium of glomerular and intertubular capillaries, and ruthenium red staining demonstrated a close interaction between the largely polysaccharide bacterial microcapsule and the sialoglycoprotein endothelial surface coat.
Tubule
Definition:
(n.) A small pipe or fistular body; a little tube.
(n.) A minute tube lined with glandular epithelium; as, the uriniferous tubules of the kidney.
Example Sentences:
(1) Results suggest that Cd-MT is reabsorbed and broken down by kidney tubule cells in a physiological manner with possible subsequent release of the toxic cadmium ion.
(2) Developing seminiferous tubules and interstitial cells were first seen on day 26, and were well established one day later.
(3) Studies were performed to characterize the determinants of proximal tubule ammonia entry (and retention) in vivo.
(4) In conclusion, the ability of distal tubules to establish a significant pH gradient will contribute to the titration of non bicarbonate buffers, i.e., to titratable acid formation.
(5) In situ hybridization of SMG sections showed that Aeg-1 and Aeg-2 transcripts are produced by the cells of granular convoluted tubules.
(6) The NAD-dependent enzymes (except alpha-GPDH) showed a stronger reactivity in the proximal tubules, while the NADP-dependent ones were more reactive in the thick limb of Henle's loop and distal convoluted tubules.
(7) Isolated renal tubules and renal clearance techniques were used to characterize the renal handling of 2-deoxy-D-galactose (2-d-Gal) by the winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus).
(8) Tubules and cells were released from slices of kidney cortex by collagenase.
(9) The results indicate that the conditions which inhibit the initiation of development are present in the Malpighian tubules and not in the midgut of the refractory mosquitoes.
(10) Many protozoa were in renal tubule cells, endothelial cells and brain.
(11) Fructose bisphosphatase, a gluconeogenic enzyme, is high along the major portion of the proximal tubule but plummets along the final millimeter of S3.
(12) Although a nephric loop (loop of Henle) is lacking, the tubules appear to be structurally well adapted for efficient ion and water reabsorption.
(13) They alter most immune functions and create a state of immunity deficiency; they damage the tubules which may lead to interstitial fibrosis and increased postglomerular capillary resistance furthering the trapping of macromolecules in the glomeruli; and they probably increase tissue permeability to macromolecules.
(14) The number of Sertoli cells per tubule cross section and the number of Sertoli cells per gonocyte were significantly decreased in the experimental testes.
(15) This short paper includes extracts from the original translations of Leeuwenhoek's descriptions of the histology of teeth, investigates his findings and demonstrates that in addition to describing dentinal tubules, he may have identified the presence of calcospherites within that tissue.
