Pulsed extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields interact with rat liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy when delivered to the rats immediately after the operation and every 12 hr thereafter. This interaction results first in an increased ornithine decarboxylase activity, an enzyme used as an early marker of cell growth. The rate of labeled thymidine incorporation into DNA is also increased by the treatments with magnetic fields during the early phases of liver regeneration. Glycogen depletion and lipid accumulation, two well-known early peculiar phenomena of liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy, are quantitatively decreased by the treatments with electromagnetic fields. The recovery to normal glycogen and lipid contents is completed within 5 days after surgery, instead of 7 days as found in control rats.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009955 Ornithine Decarboxylase A pyridoxal-phosphate protein, believed to be the rate-limiting compound in the biosynthesis of polyamines. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of ornithine to form putrescine, which is then linked to a propylamine moiety of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine to form spermidine.
