The rapidly declining plasma glucose resulted in insufficient glucose delivery to the brain to sustain normal functions.
Hearts perfused by allogeneic pig blood sustained normal function throughout the study period, while those perfused with human blood lost organized ventricular contraction in 25-34 min with markedly attenuated function.
Previous study has indicated that both the structure and stability of lens crystallins and maintenance of strong cellular homeostatic systems are required for sustaining normal function of lens [ 2].
hMLH1-Gly67Arg has previously been shown to confer loss-of-function (Shimodaira et al, 1998), and two functional assays suggest that the hMLH1-Gly67Glu protein fails to sustain normal MMR functions.
Episodes of hypoglycaemia are distressing, either because of the symptom response to the falling blood glucose concentration, or because of the alteration in brain function that occurs if the plasma glucose falls too low to sustain normal neuronal function.
This method allows the analysis of the inhibitory effect of drugs within minutes instead of hours, identifying a direct effect on the putative targets before the cells react by modifying their FA composition to sustain normal membrane functions.
In order to sustain normal cellular function, therefore, the mitochondria require a constant supply of fuels and oxygen.
We disagree with this determination because even with a complete inhibition of thyroidal iodine uptake, the amount of iodide stored in an iodine-replete adult can sustain normal thyroid function for several months (Greer et al. 2002).
The expression of multiple proteases in P. marinus may indicate their role(s) in processing the host protein substrates to facilitate uptake of their metabolic products to sustain normal cell function and proliferation.
The newly formed fibrocartilage may fill the defect and give relief of symptoms, but it lacks the structural, biomechanical and biochemical properties to sustain normal joint function in the long term [ 6].
Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes which are essential for chromosomal replication but also help sustain normal chromosome function by sealing the chromosome ends and preventing enzymatic degradation.
