Body wall muscle development

Fig. 14.4. Expression of subunits of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex during the development of A suum. Homogenates of different A suum larval stages and adult tissues were immunoblotted with polyclonal antisera prepared against individual subunits of the A suum PDC isolated from adult muscle, as described in detail in Klingbeil etal. (1996). UE, unembryonated egg M, adult body wall muscle p45, E3-binding protein (E3BP).

DISTRIBUTION The distribution of 14C-pyridostigmine was studied by Birtley et al. Ten per cent of the i.m. dose was present in the alimentary tract within 1 h after injection and 0.3% of the dose is secreted in the bile. A high concentration of radioactivity occurred in the kidney when excretion in the urine was at its maximum level. Lower concentrations were present in the liver, intestinal contents, heart, blood, and muscle. Radioactivity was also detected in the lungs, spleen, and skin, but not in the brain, thymus gland, intestinal wall, or body fat. The detection of radioactive respiratory C02 suggested that to a small extent pyridostigmine may be metabolized by another route. The serum concentration was dose-dependent and was correlated with the clinical response. A radio-immunoassay (RIA) method was developed to determine the plasma concentration time profiles and tissue distribution of PB in rat following its i.m. administration. This study found that PB had a half-hfe (tl/2) of 25... 

To meet the demands of the body the heart propels the blood by cyclic contraction of its individual muscle fibres. During contraction these fibres develope forces, leading to stresses and strains in the cardiac walls, resulting into ventricular pressures and finally into ejection of blood into the systemic and pulmonary...
