| rationalisation of first-aid measures for elapid snakebite. | the plasma of monkeys envenomated with tiger snake (notechis scutatus) venom was monitored by radioimmunoassay for both crude venom and a neurotoxin. when the injected limb was immobilised and a pressure of 55 mm hg applied to the injection site, only very low levels of circulating venom or neurotoxin were detectable. in practical terms, venom movement can be effectively delayed for long periods by the application of a firm crepe bandage to the length of the bitten limb combined with immobilisat ... | 1979 | 84206 |
| further observations on the pathological responses of rat skeletal muscle to toxins isolated from the venom of the australian tiger snake, notechis scutatus scutatus. | 1. some aspects of the response of mammalian skeletal muscle following the injection of purified toxins from the venom of the australian tiger snake, notechis scutatus scutatus, are described. 2. the toxins used were notexin, notechis ii-5, notechis ii-1 and a modified form of notexin (pbp-notexin). they were injected into the dorso-lateral aspect of one himd limb so that the soleus muscle would be exposed to the toxins. 3. within 1 h after the injection of notexin, the soleus muscles were oedem ... | 1978 | 152684 |
| phenylethylamine as a biochemical marker of tiger. | pheromones of the tiger happen to be a mixture of amines which are "fixed" by lipids. one of these, found always in all the four tigers investigated, is phenylethylamine. this may be a biochemical marker at a species level. | 1979 | 158904 |
| blood corticosteroids in australian marsupial and placental mammals and one monotreme. | peripheral blood corticosteroid levels were determined in nine species of australian marsupial (eastern grey kangaroo, black-tailed, bennett's and pademelon wallabies, quokka, wombat, koala and western native and tiger cats), one species of monotreme (echidna) and one placental australian mammal (dingo). animals were obtained or bled with minimal disturbance and came from areas considered to have adequate sodium content of the vegetation. aldosterone, corticosterone, cortisol, 11-deoxycorticoste ... | 1976 | 181514 |
| the effects of a toxin isolated from australian tiger snake (notechis scutatus scutatus) venom on autonomic neuromuscular transmission. | 1 the effects on mammalian autonomic neuromuscular transmission of a purified toxin from the crude venom of the australian tiger snake, notechis scutatus, have been investigated. 2 the toxin had no measurable effect on transmission in either the rat anococcygeus, the rat vas deferens, or the longitudinal muscle of the guinea-pig ileum. 3 the toxin induced a contraction of longitudinal smooth muscle of the ileum. the tissue relaxed in spite of the continued presence of the toxin, and remained ins ... | 1978 | 205289 |
| synaptic transmission to the horizontal cells in the retina of the larval tiger salamander. | 1. the receptive field diameter for most horizontal cells far exceeds the lateral spread of processes for any cell. therefore horizontal cells probably receive synaptic input from neighbours as well as from the photoreceptors. the electrical effects of these two synaptic inputs were studied. 2. we have characterized the electrical properties of the horizontal cell inputs by determining the current-voltage curves in dark and light. these curves were compared with those obtained in the presence of ... | 1990 | 209177 |
| transmission along and between rods in the tiger salamander retina. | 1. the electrical pathways that couple the rods and that link the outer segments of the rods to the coupled network, were evaluated. two separate micro-electrodes were inserted into the inner or outer segments of the same or neighbouring rods under visual control. current was passed through one electrode, and the resulting potential recorded with the other. 2. the input resistance, measured at the inner or outer segment in a rod in the network, is strongly outward rectifying. it is typically nea ... | 1988 | 211229 |
| contacts between receptors and electrophysiologically identified neurones in the retina of the larval tiger salamander. | 1. following the intracellular recording of bipolar and horizontal cell responses, each unit was injected with horseradish peroxidase and a histochemical staining used to identify it at the level of the light and electron microscopes.2. centre-depolarizing bipolar cells made contact with rods and cones at basal and ribbon junctions, the latter being fewer. centre-hyperpolarizing bipolar cells made the same types of contacts with the receptors, but ribbon junctions predominated.3. it appears, the ... | 1978 | 217992 |

| [effect of presynaptic neurotoxin notechis ii-5 from tiger snake venom on the motor nerve endings of mice]. | the neurotoxin notechis ii-5 (n-ii-5) from tiger snake venom (notechis scutatus) induces three-phasic changes in miniature end-plate potential (mepp) frequency recorded in the mouse diaphragm muscle: an initial fall of frequency followed by increase and decrease in mepp frequency up to complete blockade. the effect of n-ii-5 was enhanced with rising of the solution temperature from 20 to 30 and 35 degrees c. removal of ca2+ from the solution prevented the presynaptic effect of n-ii-5. after wash ... | 1979 | 387107 |
| synaptic inputs to the ganglion cells in the tiger salamander retina. | the postsynaptic potentials (psps) that form the ganglion cell light response were isolated by polarizing the cell membrane with extrinsic currents while stimulating at either the center or surround of the cell's receptive field. the time-course and receptive field properties of the psps were correlated with those of the bipolar and amacrine cells. the tiger salamander retina contains four main types of ganglion cell: "on" center, "off" center, "on-off", and a "hybrid" cell that responds transie ... | 1979 | 438772 |
| [operation on a congenital cataract in a siberian tiger]. | a cataract operation in a young siberian tiger is reported. this 5-month-old tiger, presenting with blindness, showed bilateral residual pupillary membranes and anterior polar cataracts combined with nuclear cataracts. after unilateral intracapsular extraction of the lens, the tiger adapted well to the improvement in sight and behaved almost like an animal with normal vision. the animal died 3 months post-operatively from unknown cause. histological examination of the aphakic eye showed, at the ... | 1979 | 440702 |
| snake bite in dogs. | in 7 years snake bite was diagnosed in 80 dogs. sporting breeds figured prominently. the average was 3.6 years. the commonest presenting signs were salivation, vomiting, dilated pupils, absence of the pupillary light reflex, depression and generalised muscle weakness, hindlimb ataxia and respiratory distress. sixty-seven cases (84%) occurred in 6 warmer months on the year. fifty-one dogs (64%) were seen either to be bitten or in contact with a snake. tiger and brown snakes were implicated on 32 ... | 1979 | 444166 |
| temporal patterns and selectivity in the unitary responses of olfactory receptors in the tiger salamander to odor stimulation. | temporal patterns and selectivity in unitary responses of 100 single olfactory receptors in the tiger salamander to odor stimulation were investigated. an olfactometer which permitted control of stimulus concentration, duration, and flow rate was calibrated with a gas chromatograph. stimulus pulses were monitored by recording the electroolfactogram from the surface of the olfactory epithelium. both diphasic and triphasic spikes were recorded extracellularly. no discernible differences in types o ... | 1979 | 479819 |
| adaptation and cross-adaptation to odor stimulation of olfactory receptors in the tiger salamander. | we have used the effects of self- and cross-adaptation on the unitary responses of olfactory receptors of the tiger salamander to odor stimulation to investigate the stimulus-specific components of these responses and to provide information about the cross-cell variations in the numbers and numbers of types of constitutent receptive sites. an olfactometer delivered sequential odorous pulses, either juxtaposed or separated by a variable time delay. we used four pairs of odorants judged to be simi ... | 1979 | 479820 |
| word context effects on letter recognition. | 24 subjects were asked to determine whether a target letter was present in a tachistoscopically exposed word. the presence of the target was detected faster if the target was clarly sounded in the word, that is, the target g in the word tiger was detected faster than the target g in the word right. this effect was strongest among subjects whose over-all response time was below the median value. this result was interpreted as evidence that (1) a word is recognized as a whole before its component ... | 1979 | 482048 |
| reduction of sodium dependent stump currents disturbs urodele limb regeneration. | we have asked the question whether the natural electric currents which leave urodele limb stumps are in any way needed for their regeneration. as an initial test, we have greatly reduced such currents in the tiger salamander, ambystoma tigrinum, by applying 0.5 mm amiloride to the stump skin or by immersion of the animals in sodium depleted media. we have also reduced such currents in the red spotted newt, notophthalmus viridescens, by such immersion. limb regeneration in half of the amiloride-t ... | 1979 | 490133 |
| allopurinol-induced melanism in the tiger salamander (ambystoma tigrinum nebulosum). | the enzyme, xanthine dehydrogenase (xdh), has been examined in ambystoma tigrinum nebulosum with respect to its role in pigmentation. it now seems probable that the melanoid gene (m) either codes directly for xdh or is somehow intimately connected with the normal function of this enzyme. inhibition of xdh using the drug, allopurinol, results in animals which appear to be phenocopies of melanoid mutants as described for the mexican axolotl (ambystoma mexicanum). the effects of allopurinol in term ... | 1979 | 490138 |
| amino acid sequence of a postsynaptic neurotoxin from the venom of the australian tiger snake notechis scutatus scutatus. | although 60 percent of the protein in tiger snake (notechis scutatus scutatus) venom consists of the basic per-synaptically neurotoxic and myotoxic phospholipases notexin and notechis ii-5 and other phospholipase homologs such as notechis ii-1, several post-synaptic "curaremimetic" neurotoxins are present in small amounts. the major one of these is a typical "long" neurotoxin containing 73 amino acids in a single peptide chain cross-linked by five disulfide bridges. the formula weight calculated ... | 1979 | 497256 |
| a voltage-clamp study of the light response in solitary rods of the tiger salamander. | 1. single, isolated, rod photoreceptors were obtained by enzymatic dissociation of the tiger salamander (ambystoma tigrinum) retina. these solitary cells retained the morphological features of rods of the intact retina and could be maintained in culture for several days. solitary cells were penetrated with one or two micropipettes and their electrophysiology was studied by the voltage-clamp technique. 2. intracellular recording with two micropipettes demonstrated that the inner segment of a soli ... | 2004 | 529060 |

| some biochemical responses of rat skeletal muscle to a single subcutaneous injection of a toxin (notexin) isolated from the venom of the australian tiger snake notechis scutatus scutatus. | 1. some biochemical responses of mammalian skeletal muscle to a single subcutaneous injection of a purified toxin from the venom of the australian tiger snake, notechis scutatus scutatus, have been investigated to determine the role of changes in peptide hydrolase enzymes in the muscle wasting caused by notexin administration. 2. within 6 h of injection, serum creatine kinase activity was increased by five- to ten-fold, and remained elevated for at least 24 h. 3. there was an initial inflammator ... | 1978 | 648033 |
| renal papillary necrosis in the tiger. | two examples of renal papillary necrosis in the tiger are described. the necrosis was characterised by large zones of liquefaction with minimal inflammation and was associated with pronouced scarring in the cortex. both animals had been vomiting terminally and were severely dehydrated. it is suggested that papillary necrosis was precipitated by the reduced renal perfusion associated with dehydration in kidneys in which the medullary blood supply was already compromised by chronic cortical scarri ... | 1978 | 655037 |
| the relationship of a monoamine fiber system to a somatosensory tectal projection in the salamander ambystoma tigrinum. | after hemisection of the spinal cord and medulla oblongata, a projection has been traced to the inner half of the tectal white of the tiger salamander, using fink-heimer degeneration staining. by microelectrode recording it was found that the tectal projection forms a topographic somatosensory map of the contralateral half of the body. this map is in register with the overlying retino-tectal visual projection. using the falck-hillarp technique, it was found that the somatosensory tectal input is ... | 1978 | 691065 |

| calcium homeostasis in the outer segments of retinal rods from the tiger salamander. | 1. the processes regulating intracellular calcium in the outer segments of salamander rods have been investigated. the main preparation used was the isolated rod loaded with the ca(2+)-sensitive photoprotein aequorin, from which outer segment membrane current and free [ca2+]i could be recorded simultaneously. two other preparations were also used: outer segment membrane current was recorded from intact, isolated rods using a suction pipette, and from detached outer segments using a whole-cell pi ... | 1992 | 1282928 |
| localization of gabaa receptor subtypes in the tiger salamander retina. | dry autoradiography was used to determine the distribution of gabaa binding sites in tiger salamander retina. high-affinity binding of [3h]-flunitrazepam [( 3h]-fnz) was used to localize benzodiazepine receptors (bzr) and [3h]-muscimol was used to localize the gabaa recognition site. specific [3h]-fnz binding was present only in the inner retina, primarily in the inner plexiform layer (ipl). co-incubation with gaba enhanced [3h]-fnz binding by 20-50%. [3h]-muscimol binding was found throughout t ... | 1992 | 1310871 |
| the spatial relationship between müller cell processes and the photoreceptor output synapse. | glutamate is the neurotransmitter released by photoreceptors in the retina. the postsynaptic action of glutamate is terminated partly by uptake into glial (müller) cells. the anatomical distribution of müller cell processes around the synaptic terminals of photoreceptors was investigated electron microscopically in the tiger salamander retina. müller cells wrap around the synaptic terminals of both rods and cones and come within 1-3 microns of the sites of glutamate release, close enough to cont ... | 1992 | 1325248 |
| contribution of ca and ca-activated cl channels to regenerative depolarization and membrane bistability of cone photoreceptors. | 1. cone photoreceptors in several vertebrate species generate ca-dependent regenerative depolarizations (e.g., ca spikes lasting up to 2 s) in response to current injection or surround illumination and may remain in a state of prolonged depolarization (e.g., a permanent plateau near 0 mv) after these stimuli. this paper, while confirming the role of ca channels in the regenerative depolarization, demonstrates that ca-activated cl channels either enhance or hinder prolonged depolarization, depend ... | 1992 | 1331354 |
| retrovirus infections in non-domestic felids: serological studies and attempts to isolate a lentivirus. | an african lioness from the zoo of zurich had to be euthanized because of an inoperable tumor. the serum tested negative for feline leukemia virus (felv) p27 antigen by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) but was strongly positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (fiv) antibodies by elisa and western blot. when her only offspring and mate were tested for fiv, high antibody titers to fiv were also found in their serum. lymphocytes were prepared from these two lions on different occasions a ... | 1992 | 1337398 |
| ability of thawed tiger (panthera tigris) spermatozoa to fertilize conspecific eggs and bind and penetrate domestic cat eggs in vitro. | electroejaculates from tigers were collected and half was used fresh to inseminate tiger eggs in vitro and domestic cat eggs stored in a hypertonic salt solution. the remainder was pelleted, frozen in a solution of 20% egg yolk, 11% lactose and 4% glycerol, thawed and cultured with tiger and domestic cat eggs. the motility index ((sperm % motility)+(status rating x 20))/2 for thawed spermatozoa was about 86% of that in fresh aliquots. of the 49 tiger oocytes inseminated in vitro with fresh sperm ... | 1992 | 1339836 |
| bi-directional transmission of molecular information by photon or electron beams passing in the close vicinity of specific molecules, and its clinical and basic research applications: 1) diagnosis of humans or animal patients without any direct contact; 2) light microscopic and electron microscopic localization of neuro-transmitters, heavy metals, oncogen c-fos (ab2), etc. of intracellular fine structures of normal and abnormal single cells using light or electro-microscopic indirect bi-digital o-ring test. | in 1985, omura, y. discovered that, when specific molecules were placed anywhere in the close vicinity of the path of a light beam (laser), their molecular information, as well as information on electrical & magnetic fields, is transmitted bi-directionally along the path of this light beam. namely, this information is transmitted in the direction the light beam is projected and towards the direction from which the light beam is coming. this finding was applied to the following clinical and basic ... | 1992 | 1351338 |
| gaba-mediated positive autofeedback loop controls horizontal cell kinetics in tiger salamander retina. | horizontal cells (hcs) appear to release, and also to be sensitive to, gaba. the external gaba concentration is increased with depolarization of the hc membrane via an electrogenic gaba transporter. this extracellular gaba opens a gabaa-gated cl- channel in the hc membrane. since the equilibrium potential for cl- (ecl) is near -20 mv, gaba released by the hc further depolarizes the hc. the gaba transporter and the gabaa receptor thus constitute a positive feedback loop in the hc membrane. this l ... | 2006 | 1351934 |
| two types of glutamate receptors differentially excite amacrine cells in the tiger salamander retina. | 1. excitatory inputs to amacrine cells in the salamander retinal slice preparation were examined using whole-cell patch pipette voltage-clamp techniques. in strychnine (500 nm) and bicuculline (100 microm), two types of amacrine cell were easily distinguished by their light-evoked excitatory responses: transient and sustained. 2. in transient amacrine cells the current-voltage (i-v) relation for the peak light-evoked current was non-linear with a negative slope region between -50 and -70 mv. res ... | 1992 | 1355793 |
| a double-label analysis demonstrating the non-coexistence of tyrosine hydroxylase-like and gaba-like immunoreactivities in amacrine cells of the larval tiger salamander retina. | previous studies have localized tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme for the production of dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (gaba) to amacrine cell populations in the larval tiger salamander retina. double-label immunocytochemistry was used to examine if tyrosine hydroxylase-like and gaba-like immunoreactivities colocalize in tiger salamander amacrine cells. a total of 2,162 tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactive amacrine cells were observed in double-labelled sections. none of ... | 1992 | 1363755 |
| intracellular injection of vital dyes into single cells in the salamander olfactory epithelium. | intracellular vital dye injection was used to examine the morphology of single sustentacular and receptor cells and the developmental fate of individual basal cells in the olfactory epithelium of the tiger salamander. in acute experiments, lucifer yellow injections were used to identify single basal, receptor or sustentacular cells on the basis of their overall morphology. dye-coupling between a number of the different epithelial cells was observed. progeny of basal cells were examined by follow ... | 1992 | 1380147 |
| cation interactions within the cyclic gmp-activated channel of retinal rods from the tiger salamander. | 1. the ionic dependence of current through the 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cyclic gmp)-activated channels of salamander rods was studied in excised inside-out membrane patches from isolated outer segments. voltage-clamp experiments on transducing rods were performed so that the channels in intact cells could be compared with those in excised patches. 2. the reversal potential of the cyclic gmp-induced patch current was close to the na+ equilibrium potential when the concentration of na ... | 1992 | 1381754 |
| pharmacological properties of n-methyl-d-aspartate receptors on ganglion cells of an amphibian retina. | 1. the pharmacological characteristics of the n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptors on amphibian retinal ganglion cells were studied to determine their similarities or differences from nmda receptors found in mammalian central nervous system (cns) cells. cells were tested with a variety of nmda antagonists acting at sites on the nmda receptor/ion channel complex. 2. whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings were obtained from ganglion cells of the larval tiger salamander with a retinal slice preparati ... | 1992 | 1382121 |
| changes in carbohydrate metabolism of pila globosa in response to crustacean hyperglycemic hormone. | hyperglycemia was caused in the snail pila globosa by the injection of the hyperglycemic hormones obtained from fresh water crabs (oziotelphusa senex senex) and marine tiger prawns (penaeus monodon). tissue glycogen and total carbohydrates presented a significant decrease which indicated that the source of hyperglycemia was the tissue carbohydrates. the hyperglycemic principles also increased the tissue phosphorylase activity and provided evidence for a possible action of the crustacean hypergly ... | 1992 | 1382680 |
| amines in the marking fluid and anal sac secretion of the tiger, panthera tigris. | analysis of the marking fluid of two tigers (one bengal and one sumatran) by gc using an amine-specific column and a nitrogen-specific detector has shown the presence of the following amines: ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, propylamine, and butane-1,4-diamine (putrescine). in contrast to previously published reports, we were unable to detect 2-phenylethylamine. the anal sac secretion was found to have a similar amine content. | 2016 | 1388518 |
| correlation of sperm viability with gamete interaction and fertilization in vitro in the cheetah (acinonyx jubatus). | sperm-oocyte interaction in vitro was studied in the cheetah, a species known to produce poor quality ejaculates and to experience low rates of fertility. twelve female cheetahs were injected (i.m.) with ecg followed by hcg 84 h later. twenty-four to 26 h post hcg, each was subjected to laparoscopic oocyte aspiration. a sperm motility index (smi) was calculated for each of 9 cheetah sperm donors that produced ejaculates averaging 41.3 +/- 22.9 x 10(6) motile sperm and 28.4 +/- 4.9% structurally ... | 1992 | 1391303 |
