Riassunto Il trattamento con ATCH o cortisone causa un aumento del contenuto in tirocalcitonina delle tiroidi di ratto. Vengono discusse le possibili implicazioni dei risultati ottenuti.     

Mitochondrial calcium efflux and porcine stress-susceptibility

Summary Mitochondrial Ca²⁺ efflux rates ofM. longissimus dorsi correlate very closely with parameters associated with porcine stress-susceptibility. Experimental data support the measurement of mitochondrial Ca²⁺ efflux to be a very sensitive and reliable method for differentiating porcine stress-susceptibility.Acknowledgments.
