Teratogenicity of polybrominated biphenyls in rats
(Elsevier, 1977-08)
The teratogenic potential of a mixture of polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) was investigated. Pregnant Wistar albino rats were given single doses of PBB in seasame oil by gavage on one day of pregnancy, from day 6 through 14 ...
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 regulates mouse oocyte homologue segregation
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-01)
Intracellular regulation of oocyte meiosis is not completely understood. However, reversible phosphorylation, which involves serine/threonine protein kinases and phosphatases (PP), is an important mediator. Glycogen synthase ...
Reorganization of mouse sperm lipid rafts by capacitation
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-12)
One of the hallmarks of mammalian sperm capacitation is the loss of cholesterol from the plasma membrane. Cholesterol has been associated with the formation of detergent insoluble membrane microdomains in many cell types, ...
Pediatric aspects of the Michigan polybrominated biphenyl contamination
(Elsevier, 1980-04)
In 1973, Michigan cattle feed was accidentally contaminated with polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and subsequently PBB has been found in the serum, body fat, and breast milk of most Michigan residents. Because of numerous ...
Toxicity of polybrominated biphenyls (Firemaster BP-6) in rodents
(Elsevier, 1975-12)
Pregnant rodents were fed concentrations of a mixture of polybrominated biphenyls (Firemaster BP-6) during the pregnancy. The material appears to be weakly teratogenic, causing exencephaly and cleft palate in mice. Decreasing ...
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 regulation of chromatin segregation and cytokinesis in mouse preimplantation embryos
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-02)
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase implicated in diverse cellular processes. Activity of GSK-3 is essential for meiotic chromatin segregation in oocytes, yet expression ...
Drinking water and cancer mortality
(Elsevier, 1986-09)
The problem of understanding the possible adverse health effects of organic chemical contaminants in drinking water is not new, but national concern has intensified in recent years. Despite this concern and regulatory ...
Keeping stem cells under control: New insights into the mechanisms that limit niche‐stem cell signaling within the reproductive system
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2016-08)
Developmental appearance of proteins identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in mouse gonadal tissue
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1991-03)
Gonadal protein patterns of the mouse were studied during fetal development by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Fetal mice at days 8.5, 10.5, 12.5, and 14.5 post-coitum were analyzed for male or female specific proteins. ...
Northern analyses using single-stranded probes do not support a role for GATA/GACA repeats in sex determination in mice and men
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1989)
The possible role of GATA/GACA repeated sequences in mammalian sex determination was investigated using Northern analyses of mouse and human RNA. Brain, liver, and gonadal RNA from three developmental stages of mice of ...
