Effect of Exercise on Amino Acid Concentrations in Skeletal Muscle and PlasmaJournal of Experimental Biology - Tập 160 Số 1 - Trang 149-165 - 1991
Jan Henriksson
ABSTRACT
Protein is not normally an important energy fuel for exercising muscle. In spite of this, there is a significant increase in the rate of amino acid catabolism during exercise. This is secondary to the exercise-induced increase in several metabolic processes, such as hepatic gluconeogenesis and the citric acid cycle, where amino acid carbon i...... hiện toàn bộ
A marine diatom-derived aldehyde induces apoptosis in copepod and sea urchin embryosJournal of Experimental Biology - Tập 206 Số 19 - Trang 3487-3494 - 2003
Giovanna Romano, Gian Luigi Russo, Isabella Buttino, Adrianna Ianora, Antonio Miralto
SUMMARY
The diatom-derived aldehyde 2-trans-4-trans-decadienal(DD) was tested as an apoptogenic inducer in both copepod and sea urchin embryos, using terminal-deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL), DNA fragmentation profiling (laddering) and an assay for caspase-3 activity. DD induced TUNEL positivity and DNA laddering...... hiện toàn bộ
Motoneurone task groups: coping with kinematic heterogeneityJournal of Experimental Biology - Tập 115 Số 1 - Trang 137-146 - 1985
G. E. Loeb
ABSTRACT
Physiological principles of motor control have generally been based on linear servocontrol theories in which transducers of force, length and velocity are used to provide feedback to the motor actuators. Within the past few years, recordings of the activity of motoneurones and proprioceptors during normal motor behaviour have indicated a div...... hiện toàn bộ
The biological importance of measuring individual variationJournal of Experimental Biology - Tập 210 Số 9 - Trang 1613-1621 - 2007
D. L. Crawford, Marjorie F. Oleksiak
SUMMARY
Functional genomics research using Fundulus heteroclitus has focused on variation among individuals because of the evolutionary importance and value of Fundulus in explaining the human condition (why individual humans are different and are affected differently by stress,disease and drugs). Among different populations and species of Fundulus, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Tracking Clock-Shifted Homing Pigeons From Familiar Release SitesJournal of Experimental Biology - Tập 203 Số 2 - Trang 207-212 - 2000
Fransisco Bonadona, Richard A. Holland, Luigi Dall’Antonia, Tim Guilford, Silvano Benvenuti
ABSTRACT
Clock-shifted homing pigeons were tracked from familiar sites 17.1 km and 23.5 km from the home loft in Pisa, Italy, using an on-board route recorder. At the first release site, north of home, the majority of clock-shifted birds had relatively straight tracks comparable with those of control birds. At the second release site, south of home, ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Internal Rhythm of Reproduction in Xerophilous Birds Under Conditions of Illumination and DarknessJournal of Experimental Biology - Tập 35 Số 3 - Trang 666-670 - 1958
A. J. Marshall, D. L. Serventy
ABSTRACT
A report that total darkness is more effective than illumination in the production of spermatogenesis in young of the xerophilous budgerygah is shown to be due to a misinterpretation of results. An internal rhythm of reproduction allows young male zebra finches (like young budgerygahs) to produce spermatozoa within 60 days in almost total da...... hiện toàn bộ
The Lethal Action of Soluble Metallic Salts on FishesJournal of Experimental Biology - Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 378-390 - 1927
Kathleen E. Carpenter
ABSTRACTThe work of several years on the fauna of streams polluted by lead-mining(1. 2, 3) has revealed the fact that the destruction of fish-life in such streams is neither a matter of starvation nor emigration for lack of food, nor of spawn-destruction, but is a direct consequence of the action of lead-salts in solution (probably as the sulphate) upon the fishes ...... hiện toàn bộ
Intermittent hypoxia in eggs ofAmbystoma maculatum: embryonic development and egg capsule conductanceJournal of Experimental Biology - Tập 210 Số 14 - Trang 2430-2435 - 2007
J. Hunter Valls, Nathan E. Mills
SUMMARYThe spotted salamander Ambystoma maculatum breeds in shallow freshwater pools and imbeds its eggs within a common outer jelly matrix that can limit oxygen availability. The eggs are impregnated with the unicellular alga Oophilia amblystomatis, which produces oxygen during the day but consumes oxygen at night. This daily cycle of algal oxygen production drive...... hiện toàn bộ
Voltage-Independent Block of a Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor by N-Methyl LycaconitineJournal of Experimental Biology - Tập 142 Số 1 - Trang 215-224 - 1989
David B. Sattelle, R.D. Pinnock, Sarah C. R. Lummis
ABSTRACT
N-Methyl lycaconitine is the most effective low molecular weight antagonist reported for an insect neuronal nicotinic receptor. In the present study, the citrate salt of this neurotoxin from the plant Delphinium brownii was found to inhibit [3H]-a-bungarotoxin binding to nerve cord extracts of the cockroach Periplaneta americana with a K, of...... hiện toàn bộ
