The rate and locus of development of rat vallate taste buds
(Elsevier, 1991-02-22)
Several hundred taste buds develop and mature in the trench walls of the rat's vallate papilla during the first 3 months after birth. The objective of this investigation of taste bud development was to determine: (i) whether ...
Control of Enterococcus faecalis sex pheromone cAD1 elaboration: Effects of culture aeration and pAD1 plasmid-encoded determinants
(Elsevier, 1991-05)
Aeration of plasmid-free Enterococcus faecalis strains resulted in an 8- to 16-fold decrease in sex pheromone cAD1 activity in culture filtrates. Levels of two unrelated pheromones, cPD1 and cAM373, were unaffected by ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
(Elsevier, 1991-06)
Progress in understanding the role of dystrophin raises promising hopes for a treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In addition, great improvements have been made in the ability to diagnose this disease using simple ...
Multiple steroid hormone levels in depressed patients and normal controls before and after exogenous ACTH
(Elsevier, 1991)
Forty depressed patients and 36 age- and sex-matched controls were given 250 [mu]g ACTH1-24 by bolus. Plasma steroid hormone levels were measured prior to and 60 min after ACTH administration. The depressed patients had ...
Plasmids for recombination-based screening
(Elsevier, 1991-09-30)
To facilitate recombination-based screening, we constructed the ColE1-based plasmid, [pi]G4, that confers chloramphenicol resistance, contains a polylinker with multiple unique restriction enzyme recognition sequences, and ...
cDNA cloning of the type 1 neurofibromatosis gene: Complete sequence of the NF1 gene product
(Elsevier, 1991-12)
Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis, or type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1), is a common autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormalities in multiple tissues derived from the embryonic neural crest. Portions of the ...
Effects of fluoxetine on weight gain and food intake in smokers who reduce nicotine intake
(Elsevier, 1991)
The effect of fluoxetine hydrochloride, a 5-HT uptake inhibitor (60 mg/day PO), in preventing weight gain associated with nicotine reduction was investigated in participants in a double-blind, placebo-controlled smoking-cessation ...
