All-or-none N-glycosylation in primate follicle-stimulating hormone beta-subunits
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2007-01-02)Human FSH exists as two major glycoforms designated, tetra-glycosylated and di-glycosylated hFSH. The former possesses both alpha- and beta-subunit carbohydrates while the latter possesses only alpha-subunit carbohydrate. ... -
Altered gene expression patterns during the initiation and promotion stages of neonatally diethylstilbestrol-induced hyperplasia/dysplasia/neoplasia in the hamster uterus
(Elsevier Inc, 2014-12)Neonatal treatment of hamsters with diethylstilbestrol (DES) induces uterine hyperplasia/dysplasia/neoplasia (endometrial adenocarcinoma) in adult animals. We subsequently determined that the neonatal DES exposure event ... -
Altered microRNA expression patterns during the initiation and promotion stages of neonatal diethylstilbestrol-induced dysplasia/neoplasia in the hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) uterus
(Springer Netherlands, 2017-10)Treatment of Syrian hamsters on the day of birth with the prototypical endocrine disruptor and synthetic estrogen, diethylstilbestrol (DES), leads to 100% occurrence of uterine hyperplasia/dysplasia in adulthood, a large ... -
Altered morphogenesis of the immature hamster uterus following neonatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1993-03)In previous studies, we found that a single neonatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) resulted in severe hyperplasia and a high incidence of endometrial adenocarcinoma in the uterus of adult hamsters. These observations ... -
Alternative method for isolation of double-stranded template for DNA sequencing
(Informa Healthcare, 1996-08)The increased use of plasmid DNAs in recombinant DNA technology, coupled with the growing popularity of double-stranded DNA sequencing, necessitates the development of rapid, inexpensive and efficient procedures ... -
Anaerobically induced production of hybrid monokaryons by heterokaryons of Candida albicans
(Springer Netherlands, 1989-01)During aerobic replication, balanced heterokaryons (hets) of Candida albicans produced by fusing protoplasts of complementing auxotrophic strains characteristically segregate low frequencies of prototrophic monokaryons ... -
Analysis of multiple pesticides in urban storm water using solid-phase extraction
(Springer New York, 2000-01)An analytical method was developed using C(18) solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography-nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC-NPD) to determine the presence and quantity of 12 contemporary pesticides in storm water runoff ... -
The anti-cancer agent distamycin A displaces essential transcription factors and selectively inhibits myogenic differentiation
(Springer New York, 1997-04)The anticancer drug, distamycin A, alters DNA conformation by binding to A/T-rich domains. We propose that binding of the drug to DNA alters transcription factor interactions and that this may alter genetic regulation. We ... -
Antigen-specific tolerogenic dendritic cells ameliorate the severity of murine collagen-induced arthritis
(Public Library Science, 2015-06-24)Dendritic cells (DCs) play important roles in initiation of the pathogenic processes of autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs) are generated from naive DCs and induce ... -
Archaeal diversity at the great salt plains of Oklahoma described by cultivation and molecular analyses
(Springer New York, 2009-10)The Great Salt Plains of Oklahoma is a natural inland terrestrial hypersaline environment that forms evaporite crusts of mainly NaCl. Previous work described the bacterial community through the characterization of 105 ... -
Are buffalograss (Buchloë dactyloides) cytotypes spatially and ecologically differentiated?
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019-07-23)Premise: Although autopolyploidy is common among dominant Great Plains grasses, the distribution of cytotypes within a given species is typically poorly understood. This study aims to establish the geographic distribution ... -
Aroid scarabs in the genus Peltonotus Burmeister (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae): key to species and new distributional data
(ZooKeys, 2013)The southeast Asian scarab beetle genus Peltonotus Burmeister (Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae, Cyclocephalini) is reviewed. New country records for Peltonotus morio Burmeister (Myanmar and Vietnam), P. nasutus Arrow (southern ... -
Assessing the impact of triazine herbicides on organophosphate insecticide toxicity to the earthworm Eisenia fetida
(Springer New York, 2003-10)A standard Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) filter paper test was used to assess the acute toxicity of chlorpyrifos, atrazine, cyanazine, and simazine to the earthworm Eisenia fetida. Acute ... -
Assessing wind and mammals as seed dispersal vectors in an invasive legume
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2017-02)While some plants have modified seed structures to facilitate dispersal, many lack such specialised adaptations, making their mode of dispersal unclear. This can be particularly problematic for predicting shifts in species ... -
Assessment of ecological risks in weed biocontrol: input from retrospective ecological analyses
(Elsevier, 2005-11)Prediction of the outcomes of natural enemy introductions remains the most fundamental challenge in biological control. Quantitative retrospective analyses of ongoing biocontrol projects provide a systematic strategy to ... -
Assessment of water quality in Wichita, Kansas, using an index of biotic integrity and analysis of bed sediment and fish tissue for organochlorine insecticides
(Springer New York, 2000-11)This study investigated water quality of the Arkansas River and its tributaries in the Wichita, Kansas, area. Water quality assessment included an evaluation of urban versus agricultural areas using a twofold approach: (1) ... -
An assessment of water quality, physical habitat, and biological integrity of an urban stream in Wichita, Kansas, prior to restoration improvements (phase I)
(Springer New York, 2003-04)Urban development alters the natural hydrological conditions of many streams and rivers often resulting in the degradation of water quality, physical habitat, and biotic integrity of lotic systems. Restoration projects ... -
Associational effects, landscape context, and plant height affect white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) browse selectivity in oak woodlands
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2022-07-01)Questions Large spatial variation in damage intensity is a pervasive, but poorly explained, feature of herbivore?plant interactions. To predict herbivore effects on plant communities, ecologists need greater understanding ... -
