Percentage contribution of increased heart rate to increased oxygen transport during activity in Pseudemys scripta, Terrapene ornata and other reptiles
(Elsevier, 1974-08-01)
1. 1. A new formula which correctly expresses the percentage contribution of increased heart rate to increased oxygen transport during activity is presented.2. 2. The percentage contribution is reported for the turtles ...
Bone marrow stromal cells stimulate an angiogenic program that requires endothelial MT1‐MMP
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2012-11)
Bone marrow‐derived stromal/stem cells (BMSCs) have recently been characterized as mediators of tissue regeneration after injury. In addition to preventing fibrosis at the wound site, BMSCs elicit an angiogenic response ...
Water and electrolyte balance of the desert iguana, dipsosaurus dorsalis, in its natural habitat
(Elsevier, 1970-08-15)
1. 1. Desert iguanas, Dipsosaurus dorsalis, collected at different times of the year in the Coachella Valley, California, showed no signs of dehydration or accumulation of electrocytes.2. 2. Variations in body water content ...
Immunological characterization of a diabetogenic protein from bovine adenohypophysis
(Elsevier, 1975-04-01)
1. 1. A diabetogenic protein isolated from bovine adenohypophysis which had previously been demonstrated to cause fasting hyperglycemia and decreased glucose tolerance in dogs and man is highly antigenic when injected into ...
Epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor-alpha decrease gamma interferon receptors and induction of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) on cultured keratinocytes
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1992-02)
The link between the epidermal keratinocytes of the skin and the activated T lymphocytes of the immune system is mediated by a variety of cytokines, including gamma interferon (IFN-Γ). We studied the influence of keratinocyte ...
Modulation of fibronectin synthesis and fibronectin binding during transformation and differentiation of mouse AKR fibroblasts
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1990-06)
In previous studies it was shown that transformation of AKR fibroblasts with 3-methylcholanthrene was associated with a loss of surface fibronectin and that induction of differentiation of the transformed cells with ...
Aspects of nitrogen and mineral nutrition in Icelandic reindeer, Rangifer tarandus
(Elsevier, 1994-09)
Nitrogen and mineral (Fe, Mg, Na, K, and Ca) compositions of foodstuffs consumed by and dung produced by male, pregnant and lactating female adult Icelandic reindeer and calves were determined during May of 1992. Iron ...
Differential signal transduction of alternatively spliced FGFR2 variants expressed in human mammary epithelial cells
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-03)
Gene amplification and protein overexpression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) characterize the SUM-52 breast cancer cell line developed in our laboratory. SUM-52 cells express nine distinct alternatively ...
Activity recorded from the statocyst nerve of Pleurobranchaea californica during rotation and at different tilts
(Elsevier, 1972-11-01)
1. 1. The statocysts of Pleurobranchaea californica lie lateral to the pedal ganglia. The thirteen receptor cells communicate with the cerebro-pleural ganglion via the thirteen axons of the statocyst nerve.2. 2. Each unit ...
Variation in erythrocyte enzyme activity among primate species
(Elsevier, 1984)
1. 1. Significant differences between species in the mean level of enzyme activity, ranging from 50 to 400%, were detected during a study of 10 enzymes from erythrocytes of humans and five non-human primates.2. 2. The ...
