A quasi-experimental approach using a multi-group between-within subjects’ post-test only design measured participants’ responses to the novel meat labels. Philip’s HUE consumer LED light bulbs were varied with different colors over beef steak package labels from 2700 K (RED) - 7000 K (BLUE). Goose neck lamps over the packages were used to create the display lighting simulations. The researchers determined that there was evidence of label and lighting interactions which influenced consumer perceptions of nutrition label information both between and within subject groups.展开更多

MPs were prepared from E 11 13 rats and proliferated in the serum free medium with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) for 10 days. Cells were then collected and implanted into the striatum only-single grafts, or simultaneously into the substantia nigra (SN) and the striatum-double grafts. Twelve weeks after transplantation, 1,1' dioctadecyl 3,3,3',3' tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI), a fluorescent dye, was microinjected into the ipsilateral striatum. The results show that double grafted MPs have more potent effects on rotational behavior than single grafted MPs. Injection of the retrograde tracer DiI into the striatum results in fluorescent labeled cells within the intranigral grafts only in double graft subjects. These data suggest that MP transplants not only can improve rotational behavior, but also help to reestablish nigrostriatal connections, so that such transplants may become an efficient way of treating PD.展开更多
