Abstract

No information is available about the effects of Japanese radish sprout (JRS) on diabetes. To clarify the effects, the influence of JRS on carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms was investigated in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The rats were fed a diet containing 0%, 2.5% or 5% of JRS ad libitum for 21 days. Compared with the corresponding control groups, the JRS-fed normal rats showed lower plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), phospholipids (PL), fructosamine, glucose and insulin and higher plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, whereas the JRS-fed diabetic rats showed lower plasma levels of fructosamine, glucose and insulin without changes in the plasma lipid parameters. JRS also decreased the hepatic TC, TG and PL levels in the normal rats and the TG level in the diabetic rats. These results showed that JRS had a hypoglycemic activity in both the normal and diabetic rats and partly improved lipid metabolism in the normal rats. JRS has the potential to alleviate hyperglycemia in cases where diabetes is present and to serve in the primary prevention of diabetes mellitus., (Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.)

Abstract

A rare case of bilateral adrenal myelolipomas in a female cotton-top tamarin is reported. Large bilateral masses in the adrenal glands were composed of mature adipose cells containing varying amounts of hematopoietic cells of the myeloid, erythroid, and megakaryocytic series. The gross and histologic features of this case closely resemble human "giant" adrenal myelolipomas.

Abstract

A human salivary gland adenocarcinoma cell line was cultivated in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dB-cAMP), cis-diammine dichloroplatinum (cisplatin) or mitomycin C (MMC) only, or of the combination of dB-cAMP and each of the antineoplastic drugs. Then the treated cells were examined for the induction of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), colony-forming efficiency (CFE) in semisolid agar medium and cell survival as measured by counting for viable cells. It has been found that the frequency of SCE induction is significantly increased by treatment of cells with cisplatin or MMC under the presence of dB-cAMP, when compared to that in the cells treated with cisplatin or MMC only. Moreover, marked reduction in CFE and cell survival was found to occur in the cells treated with the combination of dB-cAMP and cisplatin or MMC. These finding indicate that treatment of a human salivary gland adenocarcinoma cell line with dB-cAMP results in modification of SCE induction, CFE and cell survival in the cells exposed to cisplatin or MMC.
