analysis of the antagonistic effect of gamma-l-glutamyl-taurine on glucocorticoid and triiodothyronine.gamma-l-glutamyl-taurine, a newly discovered parathyroid hormone, considerably inhibited the cytochemically detected transcription-inducing effect (appearance of free histone) of prednisolone and triiodothyronine. such an inhibition took place also if the morphogenetic hormones were given not simultaneously with, but after the administration of litoralon. litoralon injected alone also displayed inductor properties increasing the number of nuclei containing free histone.1979525237
serially etched shark enameloid observed by incident light microscopy.longitudinal and transverse tooth sections of isurus oxyrinchus were serially etched in 2.6% nitric acid. the changing optical properties of the etched surfaces were observed during the serial etchings, and the descent of the enameloid surfaces was measured. shark enameloid seems to be less effectively etched by acid than human enamel; this difference may be due to differences in solubility between fluorapatite and hydroxyapatite. most of the information regarding the structure of the enameloid ...1979525241
the nucleus of the basal optic root in the pigeon: an electron microscope study.the ultrastructure of the nucleus of the basal optic root in an avian species (columba livia) was investigated. the ectomamillary nucleus (emn) in which terminates the basal optic tract reveals three types of neurons: 1) small round neurons bearing a scanty cytoplasm in organelles, 2) medium-sized neurons, spindle-shaped with a dense population of organelles and 3) large multipolar neurons with well developed perikaryal elements. some of these neurons have their inner plasma-membrane which fuse ...1979526019
epithelial transport pathways of rat colon determined in vivo by impulse response analysis.1. a method is described for studying transepithelial pathways for the movement of different solutes and water. using the blood and the secretory curves of changing tracer activity following an intravenous bolus, the rate of transit of molecules together with their impulse response functions, which reflect the transfer processes can be examined. 2. movements of na, cl, i, urea and water from blood to lumen across rat colonic epithelium were all consistent with simple diffusion through a paracel ...1979529121

isolation of vibrio parahaemolyticus from fecal specimens on mannitol salt agar.unless laboratories use an inhibitory medium, vibrio parahaemolyticus will be unrecognizable in fecal specimens. the use of a medium exclusively for vibrio isolation, such as thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose agar (tcbs), however, may not be considered economically justified in the united states. the isolation and recognition of v. parahaemolyticus is reported on mannitol salt agar (ms), a medium which is used for fecal specimens here. eight kanagawa-positive and two of three kanagawa-negat ...1976965479
effect of dissolved aromatic hydrocarbons on the growth of marine bacteria in batch culture.dissolved aromatic hydrocarbons were found to decrease growth rate and maximum cell density of marine bacteria in batch cultures. the magnitude of the decrement was observed to be a function of concentration of the hydrocarbon and inherent toxicity. the inherent toxicity was observed to increase inversely with solubility such that naphthalene at 100 mum concentration demonstrated a toxic effect similar to benzopyrene at 0.02 mum. a partial oxidation product of naphthalene was found to be more ef ...1976970939
sparing effect of lithium ion on the specific requirement for sodium ion for growth of vibrio parahaemolyticus.the role of nacl in the growth of vibrio parahaemolyticus strain a-55 was investigated. maximal growth was obtained at 0.5 m nacl in a synthetic medium. na+ could not be replaced for growth by any other cations or substances. when the medium was kept isotonic with 0.5 m nacl by the addition of sucrose, good growth was obtained with 0.1 m nacl. by reducing the osmotic pressure and decreasing the nacl concentration from 0.5 m to 0.1 m, the same growth yield was obtained as when using a medium cont ...1976974918
tolerance and other biological properties of vibrio parahaemolyticus endotoxins.biological properties of endotoxins prepared from three strains of vibrio parahaemolyticus were compared with reference to commercially prepared salmonella typhi endotoxin. endotoxin assays performed in rabbits included dermal shwartzman reactivity, pyrogenicity, heat stability, and ability to induce tolerance as well as cross-tolerance. mice were used for endotoxin ld50 determinations. results showed v. parahaemolyticus endotoxins were similar to that of s. typhi strain o901. induction of toler ...1976978838
