158 Production of recombinant LH for use in tiger ( tigris altaica ) assisted reproduction: a preliminary report
(CSIRO, 2007-12-12)Genetically, porcine LH is the closest commercially available gonadotropin analog to tiger LH (93% homologous); however, its use may lead to possible autoimmune reactions, lessening ovarian responses in stimulated tigresses ... -
Abnormal expression of genes associated with development and inflammation in the heart of mouse maternal phenylketonuria offspring
(PubMed, 2005)This study describes gene expression in the fetus hearts obtained from mouse model for phenylketonuria. These hearts have cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore genes involved in CVD were examined. Several genes associated ... -
Abundance, isolation, and characterization of halotolerant microbes from common oligosaline soils
(Elsevier, 2022-12-01)Halotolerant microbes that grow at high NaCl concentrations were studied in common soils with low salinity. The abundance of microbes in common oligosaline (<1.0% salinity) soils was measured by most probable number analyses, ... -
Adaptation to warmer climates by parallel functional evolution of CBF genes in Arabidopsis thaliana
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2016-08)The evolutionary processes and genetics underlying local adaptation at a specieswide level are largely unknown. Recent work has indicated that a frameshift mutation in a member of a family of transcription factors, C-repeat ... -
Adenosine modulation of dynorphin B release by hippocampal synaptosomes
(ElsevierElsevier BV, 1992-04-17)A rat hippocampal preparation enriched in mossy fiber synaptosomes was employed in an attempt to expose any relationship between endogenous adenosine and the release of dynorphin B-like immunoreactivity (DynB-LI). Presumptive ... -
Advances in biological therapy for nucleus pulposus regeneration
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-02)Objective: The intervertebral disc (IVD) is composed of the external annulus fibrosus (AF) and the inner gel-like center, the nucleus pulposus (NP). The elastic NP can function to relieve stress and maintain IVD function ... -
Aggregated seed arrival alters plant diversity in grassland communities
(Oxford University Press, 2014-02)Aims Species aggregation is commonly seen in plant communities and may increase diversity by causing intraspecific competition to exceed interspecific competition. One potential source of this spatial aggregation is seed ... -
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 ... -
