Hepatic stellate cells play a crucial role in the development of liver fibrosis. In a damaged liver, stellate cells undergo activation, which is manifested as a change of their phenotype: differentiation of stellate cells to myofibroblast-type cells, expression of alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin, their proliferation and a reduction in the size of cytoplasmic lipid droplets. The aim of this study was to...
Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous substance produced on the kynurenine pathway which is primarily known for its neuroactive properties. Recently, it has been proven that KYNA is a selective ligand for G protein‐coupled receptor (GPR 35), presented on immunocompetent cells such as T lymphocytes. This opens up new possibilities of its application as an immunostimulating substance in aquaculture...
A dog (male, dachshund, aged 16.5 years) was euthanised due to hypoglycaemia, which had lasted for about eight years. Macroscopic examinations revealed bilateral tumours of the following sizes 7 cm x 5 cm x 4 cm (right) and 6 cm x 5 cm x 3.5 cm (left) in the sublumbar area. The presence of these tumours was found with an ultrasound examination performed on the dog at the age of 8 years. At that time,...
This paper presents results of research determining cadmium levels in livers of 48 coots (Fulica atra) aged 5-6 months, originating from industrial (Bydgoszcz) and agricultural (Znin) areas. Studies were carried out in 1993-1995. The results of the investigation show a decrease in the amounts of the analysed cadmium in birds from Bydgoszcz region (from 0.04 mg/kg to 0.03 mg/kg wet mass), while there...
