[Hepatocyte receptors for polymerized albumin. Experimental study on isolated hepatocytes and in vivo animals].

In the present work receptors for polymerized rat serum albumin (P-RSA) were studied by incubation of radiolabelled polymers with rat hepatocytes isolated with mechanical techniques. Isolated rat hepatocytes showed a receptor activity for polymerized albumin and such a membrane receptor seems to be controlled by the cellular cytoskeleton. During rat total body scintigraphy receptor expression was detected exclusively in the liver. These observations support the hypothesis of a selective receptor activity of the liver cells for polymerized albumin. To confirm our results, further studies were performed on rat bile, after 125I-P-RSA infusion in vivo.

Concentration of cefuroxime in the bones of albino white rats: a comparative study of femur, humerus, and mandible.

The levels of cefuroxime in rat bones with a different morphology, function, blood supply, and proportion between lamellar and cancellous bone were studied, after a 24-h administration of 750mg/kg X 3. The concentrations in the right and left femora, humeri, and mandibles of the same animal were measured 2 h after the last administration. The result indicate statistically significant differences between femur and humerus (P less than 0.001), femur and mandible (P less than 0.05), and humerus and mandible (P less than 0.05).
