selection at two sex-linked loci.recurrence equations are derived for selection at two sex-linked or haplodiploid loci, each with two alleles. equilibrium equations containing only the female gametic frequencies are obtained by using a transformation that absorbs the male gametic frequencies. it is shown that gametic equilibria occur at a stationary point of the geometric mean viability if, and only if, 1/2 rf[x1x4(v11 + v44)-x2x3(v22 + v33)] w22 = 0, where rf is the recombination fraction in females, w22 is the viability of th ...20123417474

growth hormone enhances hepatic epidermal growth factor receptor concentration in mice.the effect of growth hormone (gh) on binding of epidermal growth factor (egf) to liver membrane preparations was investigated in hypophysectomized mice and partially gh-deficient, genetic mutant "little" (lit/lit) mice. the egf binding of normal male mice and testosterone-treated females was higher than in normal females. due to diminished receptor concentration, hepatic egf binding was decreased in male and female lit/lit mice to a level that was unaffected by gender or androgen treatment. gh r ...20123264288
mechanisms of rod-cone interaction: evidence from congenital stationary nightblindness.the dark-adapted rod system can elevate cone-mediated thresholds for flicker detection as well as thresholds for the detection of hue. we examined these two types of rod-cone interactions in two individuals with congenital stationary nightblindness (csnb), a retinal disorder in which rod outer segment function is intact, but in which a defect occurs in the transmission of rod signals within the retina. the two types of rod-cone interaction were differentially affected by the retinal pathology; t ...20123264093
efficacy of absolute ethanol injection for upper gastrointestinal massive bleedings with hemorrhagic shock.we applied the absolute ethanol injection method in 182 cases of massive bleeding with hemorrhagic shock before the performance of emergency endoscopy in 627 cases of upper gastrointestinal bleeding at our department and five related institutions since june 1979. following results were obtained: temporary hemostasis could not be obtained in only 2 (1.1%) out of 182 cases; in the remaining 180 cases bleeding was ceased. rebleeding was seen in 15 cases (8.2%) and new bleeding in 17 cases (9.3%). i ...20123264090
function of identified motoneurones and co-ordination of primary and secondary motor systems during zebra fish swimming.1. the activity of the two classes of motoneurones, primary and secondary, which innervate myotomal muscle fibres in the zebra fish, was monitored with electromyographic and intracellular techniques. 2. simultaneous emg and intracellular recordings from muscle fibres showed that the activity of the two motor systems and of individual primary motoneurones can be distinguished by recording emg spikes during swimming. 3. measurements of emg spikes demonstrated that primary and secondary motoneurone ...20123253426
