Electron-microscopic observation of bovine fetal rumen reveals that the distribution and structure of glycogen are modified during fetal development. Both basal and superficial cells increase their glycogen content in ...

Four hundred strains of enterobacteria, isolated before the introduction of trimethoprim as a single agent in Chile, were studied. One hundred and thirty six strains (34%) were resistant to ≥8 mg/l of trimethoprim and 118 ...

Archeological, craniometrical, and genetic information is utilized to reconstruct possible migration routes used in the peopling of Andean South America. Special emphasis is given to the elaboration of craniometrical isoline ...

A prospective study of Campylobacter jejuni infection was performed during a 6-month period in a cohort of 198 Chilean infants. Surveillance was based on biweekly home visits by a team of trained nurses. C. jejuni colonization ...

Mitochondrial function appears to be an early target for ethanol toxicity, however it is not clear to what extent the effects of ethanol, which occur at levels of intake lower than those already reported in the literature, ...

Streaming potentials arising across large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels incorporated into planar lipid bilayers were measured. Ca2+-activated channels obtained either from skeletal muscle or from smooth muscle ...
