Effect of Renal Transplantation on the Levels of Choline in the Plasma of Uremic Humans

Margaret A. Acara, Barbara R. Rennick, Susan LaGraff, Edward Todd Schroeder

Plasma choline levels were measured in patients who received a kidney transplant, in donors who underwent nephrectomy and in nonrenal surgical patients. Choline was measured using a choline kinase assay. Choline levels in patients receiving a kidney fell from 29.8 +/- 1.86 …

Small Animal Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Means of Studying the Development of Structural Pathologies in the Rat Brain

Roberta J. Pentney, James J. Alletto, Margaret A. Acara, Cynthia A. Dlugos et autres

Small animal magnetic resonance imaging (SAMRI) was developed to detect structural tissue changes associated with disease states in animal models. The disease state of particular interest here is that associated with long-term alcohol abuse. The small animal model used for this study …

MR imaging of normal rat brain at 0.35 T and correlated histology

Robert J. Fiel, James J. Alletto, Charles M. Severin, Peter A. Nickerson et autres

A custom-built small-animal transceiver was used for in vivo imaging of normal rat brain at 0.35 T, with the objective of identifying anatomic components by comparison of images with corresponding histologic sections. The cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem, ventricles, hippocampus, and subarachnoid space …

Osmoregulatory betaine uptake by rat renal medullary slices.

James W. Lohr, M A Pochal, Margaret A. Acara

Betaine is an osmolyte present in high concentrations in renal medullary cells. Betaine and other organic osmolytes, such as glycerophosphorylcholine, myo-inositol, and sorbitol, have been shown to increase in concentration during antidiuresis when the inner medullary extracellular osmolality rises. Its concentration may …
