Abstract Neurotensin‐like immunoreactivity was localized in nerve fibers and terminals of hamster adrenal medulla at light and electron microscopy using the peroxidase‐antiperoxidase method. Numerous varicose neurotensin‐immunoreactive nerves and terminals were found among nonlabeled cell groups situated peripherally in the adrenal medulla. Combined formaldehyde‐glutaraldehyde (Faglu) fluorescence and immunohistochemistry of the same vibratome section showed that only norepinephrine cells were innervated ...

To study determinants of late HIV diagnosis in a low-HIV-prevalence (<0.1%) country where HIV spread among men who have sex with men (MSM) and heterosexuals in the 1980s, and among injecting drug users (IDUs) in the late 1990s.Newly diagnosed HIV cases referred to the Helsinki University Central Hospital between 1985 and 2005 were reviewed to identify determinants of late HIV diagnosis, defined as diagnosis when the first CD4 count was <200 cells/microL, or when AIDS occurred within 3 months of HIV diagnosis. ...

The proportion of [alpha ]-linolenic acid in serum fatty acids is associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases. We studied the effects of camelina oil on serum lipids and on the fatty acid composition of total lipids in comparison to rapeseed and olive oils in a parallel, double-blind setting.

The long-term survival of multiple sclerosis (MS) was studied during 1964-1993 in a cohort of 1614 patients in Finland. Survival to death from the initial MS symptoms was analysed by the life-table method, separately for MS related and all causes of deaths. Survival at 40 years was 64% for MS deaths and 53% for all deaths. Higher proportions of violent deaths and neoplasms were observed among MS patients as compared to the general population, whereas the proportion of cardiovascular causes of death ...

Abstract To explore physiological roles of BCL-W, a prosurvival member of the BCL-2 protein family, we generated transgenic (TG) mice overexpressing Bcl-w driven by a chicken β-actin promoter. Male Bcl-w TG mice developed normally but were infertile. The adult TG testes displayed disrupted spermatogenesis with various severities ranging from thin seminiferous epithelium containing less germ cells to Sertoli cell-only appearance. No overpopulation of any type of germ cells was observed during testicular ...

We chose a commercial probiotic cheese to evaluate its potential as a probiotic food. Thirty-one healthy elderly volunteers (21 female, 10 male) aged from 72 to 103 (median 86) consumed a commercial probiotic cheese containing approximately 10(9) CFU day(-1) of Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM.

Aging is associated with alterations in the intestinal microbiota and with immunosenescence. Probiotics have the potential to modify a selected part of the intestinal microbiota as well as improve immune functions and may, therefore, be particularly beneficial to elderly consumers. In this randomized, controlled cross-over clinical trial, we assessed the effects of a probiotic cheese containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM on the intestinal microbiota and fecal ...

Amplified by the speed and scope of social media, they can quickly reach millions of people and result in a wide range of marketplace deceptions.

We examined the factors underlying the deteriorating marine survival of a hatchery stock of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. The stock originated from the salmon population of the Neva River, which flows into the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea. During 1981–2005, about 134,000 Carlin-tagged Neva salmon smolts were released in the Gulf of Finland and the Bothnian Sea. We investigated the effects of fin damage, smolt length, sexual maturity (precocious maturation), smolt year, the time (days) between ...

The interaction of ocean climate and growth conditions during the postsmolt phase is emerging as the primary hypothesis to explain patterns of adult recruitment for individual stocks and stock complexes of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Friedland et al. (1993) first reported that contrast in sea surface temperature (SST) conditions during spring appeared to be related to recruitment of the European stock complex. This hypothesis was further supported by the relationship between cohort specific patterns ...

Since food availability is known to affect both the precocious maturation and start of feeding migration in wild juvenile salmonids, we examined if a reduction in otherwise plentiful feeding in hatcheries could improve migration tendency and the subsequent survival of released Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts. A reduction in diet lipid content and feed ration (FR) the previous spring and in FR in the winter prior to release proved efficient; spring-diet treatment halved the proportion of mature ...

Abstract The oxygen transport function of hemoglobin (HB) is thought to have arisen ∼500 million years ago, roughly coinciding with the divergence between jawless (Agnatha) and jawed (Gnathostomata) vertebrates. Intriguingly, extant HBs of jawless and jawed vertebrates were shown to have evolved twice, and independently, from different ancestral globin proteins. This raises the question of whether erythroid-specific expression of HB also evolved twice independently. In all jawed vertebrates studied ...
