| distribution of lectin binding in the testes of the musk shrew, suncus murinus. | distribution of lectin binding in the testis of the musk shrew, suncus murinus, was investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy. not only spermatogenic cells but also sertoli cells bound some lectins. canavalia ensiformis agglutinin (con a) and wheat germ agglutinin (wga, triticum vulgaris), indicating the presence of d-mannose and n-acetyl-d-glucosamine respectively, showed an intense reaction in the acrosomal region of early to late spermatids. ricinus communis agglutinin i (rca ... | 1995 | 7591995 |
| characterization of a novel brain neutral glycosphingolipid composition in house musk shrew (suncus murinus). | glycosphingolipids were extracted from the brain of house musk shrew (suncus murinus). neutral glycosphingolipids were purified by qae-sephadex column chromatography followed by high-performance liquid chromatography using an iatrobeads column. purified glycosphingolipids were identified by high-performance thin-layer chromatography, carbohydrate analysis, fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry and tlc immunostaining. the ganglioside pattern was almost the same as the pattern obtained for rat b ... | 1995 | 7601161 |
| development of the chondrocranial base of the musk shrew, suncus murinus (insectivora). | to reveal the developmental process of the chondrocranial base of the musk shrew, suncus murinus (insectivora), light microscopic observation of serial sections and macroscopic observation with whole-mount differential staining of bone and cartilage were performed on day-17 to -22 embryos. the following unusual findings were obtained: (1) the sphenoethmoidal commissure formed a part of the posterior edge of the tectum nasi, implying that the posterior portion of the paries nasi in the mammalian ... | 1995 | 7601229 |
| immunocytochemical identification of serotonergic supraependymal nerve fibers in the third ventricle of the house musk shrew, suncus murinus. | supraependymal fibers of the house musk shrew (suncus murinus) were examined by conventional scanning electron microscopy (sem), backscattered electron (bse) imaging of enzyme immunohistochemistry and by immunotransmission electron microscopy in the dorsal part of the third ventricular wall. in this region, ependymal cells were not so heavily ciliated and conventional sem studies showed two main categories of supraependymal fibers. the first type consisted of long fibers fasciculated which were ... | 1995 | 7625602 |
| genetic variation and geographic distribution on the mitochondrial dna in local populations of the musk shrew, suncus murinus. | the musk shrew (suncus murinus) is widely distributed throughout asia and east africa. the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) of this species was analyzed in individuals from 31 local populations in nine asian countries and mauritius, using 17 restriction endonucleases. although fourteen and nine mtdna haplotypes were detected from bangladesh and nepal, respectively, one to four haplotypes were found in each southeast asian country, and one common haplotype existed in japan, philippines, vietnam, thailan ... | 1995 | 7632440 |
| spermatogenesis and ultrastructure of a peculiar acrosomal formation in the musk shrew, suncus murinus. | spermatogenesis and acrosomal formation in the musk shrew, suncus murinus, were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium was divided into 13 stages based on the characteristics of acrosomal change and nuclear shape, appearance of meiotic figures, location of spermatids, and period of spermiation. the relative frequencies of stages 1 to 13 were 5.1, 5.9, 10.1, 8.8, 12.5, 11.5, 10.6, 7.9, 6.0, 4.8, 8.9, 3.1 and 4.8, respectively. additionally, ... | 1994 | 7649786 |
| distribution of chicken-ii gonadotropin-releasing hormone in mammalian brain. | brains of nonmammalian vertebrates typically contain multiple forms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh). until recently, only the mammalian form of gnrh (mgnrh) had been isolated in placental mammals. biochemical and histological data show that both mgnrh and chicken-ii gnrh (cgnrh-ii) are present in a primitive placental mammal, the musk shrew (suncus murinus). similar to the case in nonmammalian species, in the musk shrew, neurons that express cgnrh-ii are located in a discrete cluster in ... | 1995 | 7673483 |
| immunohistochemical characterization of b cells and t cells in musk shrew (suncus murinus) lymphoid tissues using monoclonal antibodies. | we have developed and characterized three monoclonal antibodies (mabs), which recognize the surface antigens of musk shrew b cells and t cells. about 30% of all lymph node cells reacted with the mab st1. staining of frozen sections showed that st1-positive cells were located in the primary lymphoid follicles of lymph nodes, and were absent in the thymus. mabs st4 and st2 were also surface-reactive. the st1-negative (about 60% of the total) lymph node cells reacted positively with st4, and about ... | 1994 | 7698900 |
| sedative effect of medetomidine and its reversal by atipamezole in house musk shrews (suncus murinus). | this study was undertaken to evaluate the sedative effect of medetomidine, an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist, and the counteractive effect of atipamezole, an antagonist to medetomidine, in house musk shrews (suncus murinus). two hundred, 300, 400, or 600 micrograms/kg of medetomidine was intraperitoneal injected into 89 house musk shrews. a sedative effect was produced in one to two minutes after injection. the dose-dependent prolongation of the sedative duration and the dose-dependent appearance ... | 1995 | 7705479 |
| identification of chicken gnrh ii in brains of metatherian and early-evolved eutherian species of mammals. | two molecular forms of gnrh (chicken gnrh ii and a second variant) are present in the brains of species from all the major vertebrate groups. in mammals, two forms are present in metatherian species and early-evolved eutherian species, but chicken gnrh ii has not been identified in more advanced eutherian species. we investigated the nature of gnrh molecular forms in several early-evolved mammalian species, using high performance liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay with specific gnrh anti ... | 1994 | 7716279 |
| relationships between morphometric and mitochondrial dna differentiation in laboratory strains of musk shrews (suncus murinus). | morphometric differentiation among six strains of musk shrews (suncus murinus) originating in bangladesh (ban), sri lanka (sri), and four japanese areas, nagasaki (nag), okinawa island (oki), tokunoshima island (tku), and taramajima island (tr), was examined by use of skull and external measurements. these data were compared with mitochondrial dna (mtdna) differentiation previously reported. significant sexual dimorphism was observed in all morphometric characters of the six strains, except for ... | 1995 | 7772382 |
| blockade of motion- and cisplatin-induced emesis by a 5-ht2 receptor agonist in suncus murinus. | 1. the effects of (+/-)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (dol), a 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-ht2a/5-ht2c receptor agonist, on motion- and cisplatin-induced emesis were studied in suncus murinus. subcutaneous injection of dol, 30 min prior to the emetic stimuli, dose-dependently blocked the emesis induced by motion sickness and cisplatin (20 mg kg-1, i.p.) with estimated id50 values of 640 and 780 micrograms kg-1, respectively. 2. alpha-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (alpha-me-5-ht), a periph ... | 1995 | 7780647 |
| a novel dodecadepsipeptide, cereulide, is an emetic toxin of bacillus cereus. | a vacuole-formation substance, cereulide of bacillus cereus, is an emetic toxin in animals. both oral administration and intraperitoneal injection of cereulide caused dose-dependent emesis in suncus murinus, a new animal model of emesis. vagotomy or a 5-ht3 receptor antagonist completely abolished this emetic effect. therefore, cereulide causes emesis through the 5-ht3 receptor and stimulation of the vagus afferent. we also found that our purified cereulide caused swelling of mitochondria of hep ... | 1995 | 7781985 |
| evolution of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase 1 peroxisomal and mitochondrial targeting. a survey of its subcellular distribution in the livers of various representatives of the classes mammalia, aves and amphibia. | as part of a wider study on the molecular evolution of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase 1 (agt1) intracellular compartmentalization, we have determined the subcellular distribution of immunoreactive agt1, using postembedding protein a-gold immunoelectron microscopy, in the livers of various members of the classes mammalia, aves, and amphibia. as far as organellar distribution is concerned, three categories could be distinguished. in members of the first category (type i), all, or nearly all, ... | 1994 | 7813517 |
| phenotypic changes of aadc-only immunopositive premammillary neurons in the brain of laboratory shrew suncus murinus by systemic administration of monoamine precursors. | after 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan (5-htp) and l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-dopa) were injected i.p. in the laboratory shrew suncus murinus, immunocytochemical and immunofluorescence studies were conducted on continuous or same sections of the brain, using specific anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (th), anti-aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (aadc), anti-dopamine (da) and anti-serotonin (5-ht) antisera which were produced in our laboratory. the results of double-staining by the immunofluorescence method ... | 1994 | 7845627 |
| morphogenesis of esophageal carcinoma induced by n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine in the house musk shrew, suncus murinus (insectivora). | the histological changes occurring in the esophageal mucosa of shrews (suncus murinus) after n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine (mnng) treatment were investigated sequentially. six-week-old female shrews were given a 50 micrograms/ml mnng solution as drinking water for 30 weeks, and 5 selected at random were killed at 10 and 20 weeks of age, and thereafter at 5-week intervals until 45 weeks of age. controls were killed at 45 weeks of age. the mnng-induced esophageal lesion in shrews began from ... | 1994 | 7852183 |
| mating alters gonadotropin-releasing hormone cell number and content. | female musk shrews (suncus murinus) are induced ovulators, which lack a behavioral and ovarian estrous cycle. females mate the first time they are introduced to a male, but a second or third mating, at least 24 h later, is usually required to induce ovulation. because gnrh-immunoreactive (gnrh-ir) cell numbers increase during and after exposure to a male, we hypothesized that mating promotes synthesis of this important peptide. to test this hypothesis, we examined changes in gnrh-ir cell number ... | 1995 | 7895675 |
| occipital roof development in the japanese musk shrew, suncus murinus. | the occipital squama of the japanese musk shrew, suncus murinus, consists only of membrane bone which arises from the periosteal bony band of the supraoccipital cartilage. no cartilaginous tectum posterius, generally forming the dorsal border to the foramen magnum, was found in the developing chondrocranium. also additional intramembranous ossification centres were occasionally observed, and could be interpreted as being the primordium of the interparietal bone. these observations indicate that ... | 1994 | 7961150 |
| testosterone implants in specific neural sites activate female sexual behaviour. | sexual behaviour in most female mammals is regulated by oestrogen, often acting synergistically with progesterone. moreover, the most important neural site of action for oestradiol is the ventromedial nucleus. in the female musk shrew, suncus murinus, testosterone (t) activates sexual behaviour. virgin females first engage in copulatory behaviour many hours in advance of follicular development and ovulation, when plasma oestradiol levels are very low. testosterone, produced by the ovaries and th ... | 1994 | 7987373 |
| induction of emesis in suncus murinus by pyrogallol, a generator of free radicals. | 1. we investigated whether or not pyrogallol, a generator of free radicals, is emetogenic in suncus murinus, the house musk shrew. pyrogallol (i.p.) caused dose-dependent emesis in suncus with an ed50 value of 77.3 mg kg-1. at a dose of 128 mg kg-1, all suncus vomited with mean latency of 18.8 +/- 5.2 min and the number of vomiting episodes was 8.6 +/- 2.9. 2. the prophylactic effects of n-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine (mpg), an antioxidant, and tropisetron, a 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-ht3) recept ... | 1994 | 8004387 |
| antiemetic effects of serotonergic 5-ht1a-receptor agonists in suncus murinus. | the antiemetic effects of six serotonergic 5-ht1a-receptor agonists, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetrarin (8-oh-dpat), 4-(4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl)-2,3,4,5- tetrahydro-1,4-benzoxazepine-3,5-dione (sun8399), buspirone, gepirone, ipsapirone and tandospirone, against motion sickness were investigated in suncus murinus. subcutaneous injection of all six agonists completely and dose-dependently suppressed motion-induced emesis. pretreatment with 8-oh-dpat or sun8399 dose-dependently ... | 1994 | 8028227 |
| absence of emetic effects of morphine and loperamide in suncus murinus. | the house musk shrew suncus murinus recently has been introduced for the study of emesis. we investigated the emetic effects of the opioids morphine (0.1-21.5 mg/kg i.p.) and loperamide (0.01-10 mg/kg i.p.) and found a complete lack of emetogenic potential. nicotine, however, dose dependently induced vomiting in the suncus with an ed50 of 8.8 mg/kg s.c. and a 100% incidence at 20 mg/kg. this drug-induced vomiting was reduced by morphine or loperamide: ed50 values obtained were 1.2 mg/kg i.p. for ... | 1994 | 8045273 |
| electrophysiological properties of suncus (suncus murinus) cardiac muscle. | 1. electrophysiological properties of cardiac muscle in suncus murinus were compared with those of rat and guinea pig. 2. the resting potential and resting potassium permeability were smallest in suncus heart. 3. the action potential duration in suncus was also shortest, and effects of tetraethylammonium suggested that transient outward current is well developed in suncus. 4. elicitation of slow response was very difficult in suncus, suggesting poor development of the calcium channel. | 1993 | 8102963 |
| follicular growth rate and lack of influence of oestradiol valerate, testosterone propionate and aminoglutethimide phosphate on ovarian follicular development in the musk shrew, suncus murinus l. | growth rate of follicles and effects of administration of oestradiol valerate (ev), testosterone propionate (tp) and aminoglutethemide phosphate (agp) on the development of ovarian follicles of the adult musk shrew were investigated. the follicular growth rate was estimated by mitotic index before and 2 hr after colchicine treatment to the shrews. mitotic index of granulosa cells increased linearly with the increase in the follicular diameter. the calculated mean duration of mitosis was 0.48 hr. ... | 1993 | 8112760 |
