a thick, brown-green fluid secreted by the liver which is alkaline in its reactions, containing bile salts, bile pigments, CHOLESTEROL and inorganic salts. Bile is transferred from the liver to the DUODENUM via the bile duct which in many mammals contains a reservoir called the gall bladder.
Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or argipressin, is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals.Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.asopressin regulates the body's retention of water by acting to increase water reabsorption in the kidney's collecting ducts, the tubules which receive the very dilute urine produced by the functional unit of the kidney, the nephrons.
The cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain (BFCNs) in human and non-human primates are rich in the calcium binding protein calbindin-D 28k (CB).n the studies reported here, a multi-use AAV vector system was employed for delivering the CB gene to the rat BFCNs. In one system, a cDNA encoding CB was inserted into pACP, a generic AAV vector in which expression is under the control of CMV immediate early gene promoter.
