Ten amino acids, namely, arginine, histidine, lysine, tryptophane, methionine, phenylalanine, leucine, valine, threonine and serine were indispensable for growth of rabbit blastocysts i n vitro; others were nonessential. Of all the essential amino acids, arginine and lysine were required in relative

β¦ Synopsis
The vitamin requirements for culture of rabbit morulae to expanded blastocysts were examined. Early morulae were cultured for 5 days either in a control complete medium containing all the 11 water-soluble vitamins of F10 culture medium (biotin, pantothenate, choline, inositol, niacinamide, pyridoxine, riboflavin, thiamine, folic acid, B12, and lipoic acid) or in media with each vitamin omitted individually. Blastocyst diameters were measured at the end of culture. The omission of inositol, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and niacinamide resulted in large statistically significant decreases in blastocyst expansion. The omission of B12 resulted in a significant increase in blastocyst expansion indicating that the level present in F10 is toxic to rabbit blastocysts.

It was the aim of this study to investigate the permeation enhancing effect of thiolated polycarbophil on the cornea of rabbits in vitro. The proposed reaction mechanism involves the opening of the tight junctions in the corneal epithelium. The modification of polycarbophil was achieved via covalent
Water-vapor transport in poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVPo), and their 2 : 1 interpolymer complex was measured between 30 and 50ΠC. It was found that the formation of interpolymer hydrogen bonding not only caused the T g of the complex to be higher than those of the individ
## Abstract Blastocysts submitted to two rounds of immunosurgery give rise to cores of presumptive ectoderm cells, many of which do not survive for more than 48 hours when cultured individually. Precoating of the culture plates with conditioned medium (CM) from PYSβ2 cells increases the incidence w
A new approach of improving drug dissolution properties is described. This method exploits the property of a carrier owing to the hydrotalcite-type anionic clays (HTlc). HTlc is an inorganic layered solid that lodges anionic compounds among its layers. As HTlc dissolves at acidic pH values (pH < 4),
