Torlak,V.; Zemunik,T.; Modun,D.; Capkun,V.; Pesutic-Pisac,V.; Markotic,A.; Pavela-Vrancic,M.; Stanicic,A.Therapeutic doses of 131I administered to thyrotoxic patients may cause thyroid failure. The present study used a rat model to determine thyroid function after the administration of different doses of 131I (64-277 µCi). Thirty male Fisher rats in the experimental group and 30 in the control group (untreated) were followed for 6 months. The animals were 4 months old at the beginning of the experiment and were sa...

Kurir,T.T.; Markotic,A.; Katalinic,V.; Bozanic,D.; Cikes,V.; Zemunik,T.; Modun,D.; Rincic,J.; Boraska,V.; Bota,B.; Salamunic,I.; Radic,S.The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on rat liver regeneration before and after partial hepatectomy. Rats were sacrificed 54 h after 15% hepatectomy, liver and body weights were measured, and serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) activity and albumin levels were determined. The lipid peroxide level, as indicated by malondialdehyde p...
