Peptide F (pro-enkephalin fragment) : Radioimmunoassay, and stress-induced changes in adrenal
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
Utilizing a nine amino-acid (Asp-Glu-Leu-Tyr-Pro-Leu-Glu-Val-Glu) non-enkephalin containing fragment of Peptide F from the pro-enkephalin molecule, a radioimmunoassay was developed. Extraction of bovine, rat, and guinea ...
Coastal eutrophication assessment in the United States
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2006-04-21)
Recent national assessments document that nitrogen-driven coastal eutrophication is widespread and increasing in the United States. This significant coastal pollution problem includes impacts including increased areas and ...
Delayed neurotrophin treatment following deafness rescues spiral ganglion cells from death and promotes regrowth of auditory nerve peripheral processes: Effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and fibroblast growth factor
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-07)
The extent to which neurotrophic factors are able to not only rescue the auditory nerve from deafferentation-induced degeneration but also promote process regrowth is of basic and clinical interest, as regrowth may enhance ...
A study of a C Α, Β -didehydroalanine homo-oligopeptide series in the solid-state by 13 C cross-polarization magic angle spinning NMR
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2004-06)
The fully extended peptide conformation (2.0 5 -helix) has been investigated for the first time in the solid-state by 13 C cross-polarization magic angle spinning NMR. The compounds examined are members of a terminally ...
A rapid screening method for the detection of viable spores in powder using bioluminescence
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2004-07)
A rapid diagnosis of a biological threat in a powder sample is important for first responders who have to make decisions on-site. The present culture-based method does not provide timely results, which is a critical barrier ...
Super-stereotypy I: Enhancement of a complex movement sequence by systemic dopamine D1 agonists
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-09-01)
Peripheral administration of D1 dopamine agonists elicits grooming behavior from rodents. The present study examined grooming behavior and the relative probability and stereotypy of a natural sequence of grooming movements ...
Evolution of N-terminal sequences of the vertebrate HOXA13 protein
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 2000-02)
While the the role of the homeodomain in HOX function has been evaluated extensively, little attention has been given to the non-homeodomain portions of the HOX proteins. To investigate the evolution of the HOXA13 protein ...
Testing a simple stochastic model for the dynamics of waterfowl aggregations
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-08)
We consider a simple stochastic model for the dynamics of mixed-species waterfowl aggregations and describe two methods for assessing the fit of this model to field data. The model does not incorporate species-specific ...
Sensory responses of descending brain neurons in the walking cricket Gryllus bimaculatus
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-02)
Sensory responses of various descending brain neurons, their modulation during standing or walking, and the correlation of such modulations with stimulus category were investigated. Stimuli involving (1) static or moving ...
