Chromosomal location of human genes encoding major heat-shock protein HSP70
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1987-03)
The HSP70 family of heat-shock proteins constitutes the major proteins synthesized in response to elevated temperatures and other forms of stress. In eukaryotes members of the HSP70 family also include a protein similar ...
Bright artificial light subsensitizes a central muscarinic mechanism
(Elsevier, 1987-12-14)
Supersensitivity of a muscarinic mechanism is implicated in the pathophysiology of depression. Bright artificial light is efficacious in the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). We studied the effect of constant ...
12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate induces an immediate, but transient increase in mitotic activity uncoupled from DNA synthesis in the monolayer cultures of rat keratinocyte
(Elsevier, 1987-07-31)
A single wave of mitotic activity was observed in a monolayer culture of rat keratinocytes immediately after exposure to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. A peak for cells in prophase, observed at 10 min after the ...
A note on chain-binomial models of epidemic spread: What is wrong with the Reed-Frost formulation?
(Elsevier, 1987-11)
Derivations of the Reed-Frost model are analyzed in terms of the assumptions about the probabilistic process used and in terms of internal consistency. Internally consistent derivations can be exhibited but require assumptions ...
Evidence that the same structural gene encodes testicular and adrenal 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-isomerase
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1987-02)
Thermostability of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-isomerase (3βHSD) activity was examined in testes and adrenal glands from several inbred lines and feral mice. A thermolabile varant of 3βHSD was detected in the feral ...
Fluoxetine subsensitizes a nicotinic mechanism involved in the regulation of core temperature
(Elsevier, 1987-08-31)
Fluoxetine HCl, 10 mg/kg ip, twice daily produced subsensitivity to the hypothermic effects of nicotine (base), 1 mg/kg ip, after 1 (pp<0.002) weeks of treatment. Phenelzine sulfate, desipramine HCl and bright artificial ...
The costs of reproduction in female columbian ground squirrels
(Springer-Verlag, 1987-08)
The cost of reproduction for female Columbian ground squirrels was assessed using seven years of data from three populations in southwestern Alberta, Canada. Short-term costs, measured as reduced survival or lowered ...
Supernumerary chromosome variation and heterochromatin distribution in the endemic New Zealand frog Leiopelma hochstetteri
(Springer-Verlag, 1987-09)
Specimens of the endemic New Zealand frog Leiopelma hochstetteri from Tapu on North Island were found to have six, nine or ten supernumerary chromosomes in their karyotypes. In comparison with previously published data, ...
Atrial natriuretic hormone secretion in patients with renal failure
(Elsevier, 1987-09-28)
To study the effects of volume overload and renal failure on plasma levels of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic hormone (IR-ANH), we measured levels of this hormone in normal subjects, in patients with advanced chronic ...
