"Anything we smell or taste on the body is part of an excretory process..
To determine whether this extracellular form of survivin was merely released as a result of an excretory process, the result of cellular necrosis, or whether its function was secretory and would be important in the context of the tumour microenvironment, that is absorbed into cells, we needed to construct a form of survivin different from the endogenous form.
The human colon is continuously exposed to a complex mixture of compounds, which is either of direct dietary origin or the result of digestive, microbial and excretory processes.
Variability in discrimination is thus not surprising given the range of factors known to influence assimilatory and excretory processes within an organism.
13 The CaHA microspheres are gradually broken down into calcium and phosphate ions and eliminated through the body's physiological excretory processes.
The evolution of these high molecular weight structures is likely linked with their extracellular occurrence to avoid elimination from the extracellular fluid by excretory processes.
Metabolic processes and excretory mechanisms involved in the elimination of QDs, as well as in vivo bioactivity, remain poorly understood and have not been well studied.
The mechanisms for that process constitute the excretory systems, particularly such organs of vertebrate animals as elaborate and complicated as the kidney and its associated urinary ducts.
NRs are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate a broad range of key hepatic processes in addition to hepatobiliary excretory function, such as hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism, inflammation, regeneration, fibrosis, and tumorigenesis.
Pharynxes, jaws, and proboscides to capture and grind food, stomachs and digestive glands to process nutrients, and cloacae to release excretory products are just a few examples of the specializations exhibited by animal digestive systems.
Members of the paired box (Pax) gene family encode transcription factors that are involved in a variety of processes such as the development of excretory organs, the differentiation of the musculature, neuroectoderm specification, and the development of auditory/geosensory systems [ 10, 11].
