Acknowledgements
Throughout my doctoral course, including completion of this dissertation and studying
abroad, I have received an abundance of assistance and support.
First, I would like to express my deepest and highest appreciation to my supervisor, Dr.
Masayoshi Kuwahara, for giving me an opportunity to study abroad. His patience and
generosity for devoting his time to provide precious guidance and constructive suggestions in
each process of the whole research helped me in completing this work. Dr. Kuwahara is the
best role model for me being a researcher.
I am highly grateful for the assistance provided by the Laboratory of Veterinary
Physiology, particularly from Dr. Takashi Matsuwaki and Dr. Naomi Teramoto. Dr.
Matsuwaki was very supportive of my research career, which encouraged me in completing
this work.
I offer my thanks to the members of my own laboratory, the Laboratory of Veterinary
Pathophysiology and Animal Health, including Dr. Shin-ichi Sekizawa, Dr. Ryota Tochinai,
Dr. Kentaro Kaneko, Dr. Masumi Yoshida, Mr. Martín Márquez, and Ms. Mao Miyamoto. It
is a pleasure to know and spend time with all of you in my daily life.
I would like to thank Mr. Yoshiharu Tsuru, staff of Primetech Corporation, for his help
in handling data of ultrasound measurements. In addition, I wish to thank my friends, Ms.
Aki Matsuwaki and Ms. Tomo Yoshizumi, for their thoughtful company and care during my
stressful research life.
I extend my thanks to my mentor, Dr. Yu-Ru Kou of National Yang Ming U ...
