| organization of positional information in the axolotl limb. | we have used the phenomenon of position-dependent growth stimulation, brought about by the confrontation of cells with dissimilar positional values, to reveal the organization of positional information in the center of the upper and lower arms of axolotls. when either humerus or radius was transplanted into either dorsal or posterior positions, extra growth leading to the formation of supernumerary digits occurred following amputation through the graft. however, transplants of humerus or radius ... | 2009 | 2769199 |
| factors that affect the induction of gamma glutamyltransferase in epileptic patients receiving anti-convulsant drugs. | serum samples from 335 epileptic patients receiving one or more anticonvulsant drugs, phenobarbitone, primidone and phenytoin, have been analysed for biochemical liver profile (blp) and serum drug concentration. the results show that the induction of serum gamma glutamyltransferase (ggt) is affected by the sex and age of the patient, type of anti-convulsant drug prescribed and duration of treatment. it is less affected by serum drug concentration. it is suggested that these factors must be consi ... | 2009 | 2889417 |
