    Animal well-being after hydrodynamic injections. In general, the mice tolerated very well the gene transfer procedure via hydrodynamic tail vein injection. All animals recovered from the hydrodynamic injections completely in 5 to 10 min without any signs of distress or problems. The blood creatinine levels did not raise from the pre-hydrodynamic injection baseline values, indicating that the putatively harsh gene transfer method was not harmful to the kidney function, or that one week was long enough to allow kidney function to fully recover from the hydrodynamic stress (Table 1). No statistically significant differences were detected in the creatinine levels of the hydrodynamically injected mice and the non-treated control mice at the analyzed time points. No statistically significant differences were found in the mean ALAT values of gene transfer receiving mice and the non-transfected control either. Generally, the plasma ALAT levels of the mice increased gradually throughout the study. However, as the weights of Western type (WT) diet consuming mice increased throughout the study (Suppl. Fig. 2), and as obesity is a known cause of hepatic steatosis and fatty liver disease, which causes elevation in ALAT levels 38, obesity is the likely explanation behind the continuous increase in the ALAT levels in this study. The presence of hepatic steatosis was confirmed in all groups in the histopathological analyses (see below). No loss of body weight occurred after the initial one…

    of urea has two main reactions. 2NH3 + CO2 NH2COONH4 -37.4 Kcal/mol NH2COONH4 NH2CONH2 + H2O + 6.3 Kcal/mol While going main reactions, the undesirable side reaction taking place is 2NH2CONH2 NH2CONHCONH2 (Biuret) + NH3 This process is further complicated by the formation of a substance called biuret, NH2CONHCONH2, which should be kept low because it adversely affects the growth of some plants. Figure.…
