recent concepts of respiratory regulation (author's transl). | there are two functional aspects of the respiratory control system, the one being adaptation of ventilation to metabolic needs and the other acid-base homeostasis of the extracellular fluid of the brain. these two functions are perfectly compatible with one another under normal conditions. during hypoxia or hyperthermia, however, a compromise has to be reaches by the system between securing oxygen availability or homeothermy, respectively and acid-base homeostasis of the brain. the control syste ... | 1977 | 17949 |

nature of the rabbit acrosome reaction-inducing activity of follicular fluid. | follicular fluid samples from rabbits, cats, pigs, women and cows had acrosome reaction-inducing activity (aria) on rabbit spermatozoa as determined by differential staining after incubation with these fluids. activity was retained after dialysis and at least 50% was found to be labile when heated to 56 degrees c for as little as 20 min. the induction of the acrosome reaction by bovine follicular fluid showed a dependence on the concentration of follicular fluid and spermatozoa and on calcium io ... | 1977 | 18603 |

identification and partial characterization of phospholipases in isolated adrenocortical cells. the effects of synacthen corticotropin-(1--24)-tetracosapeptide and calcium ions. | phospholipase a activity was determined in homogenates and subcellular fractions of trypsin-dispersed cat adrenocortical cells. at ph 7.4 homogenate phospholipid hydrolysis was activated by added ca2+ and inhibited by egta. phospholipid degradation in the presence and absence of synacthen was completely blocked by egta. ca2+-dependent activation of a membrane-bound phospholipase may be a critical control mechanism for regulating the molecular changes taking place during stimulation by synacthen. | 1977 | 19012 |
behavioral effects of lsd in the cat: proposal of an animal behavior model for studying the actions of hallucinogenic drugs. | in the course of examining the complete dose-response relationship for the behavioral effects of lsd in the cat, we discovered that, in addition to large increases in investigatory and hallucinatory-like responses, two behaviors, not previously reported, are emitted with a high probability under lsd. beginning from a baseline of essentially zero in saline-treated animals, limb flicks and abortive grooming increase in frequency in direct relation to the dose of lsd administered (2.5, 10, 25 and 5 ... | 1977 | 19128 |

lack of hepatic enzymatic adaptation to low and high levels of dietary protein in the adult cat. | the activities of three urea cycle enzymes, several nitrogen catabolic, gluconeogenic, and lipogenic enzymes were measured in the liver of adult cats fed: a commercial kibble; a 17.5 or 70% protein purified diet, or starved for 5 days. except for an increase in tyrosine transaminase (ec 2.6.1.5) after feeding the high protein diet, there were no changes in the activities of the hepatic enzymes as influenced by dietary protein level. likewise, starvation had a minimal effect on the activities of ... | 1977 | 19238 |
inhibitory effect of fentonium on gastric acid secretion in different laboratory animals. | the influence of fentonium, a new derivative of hyoscyamine, on the gastric secretion has been evaluated in rats, cats and dogs. the compound appeared to be able to markedly reduce the gastric hypersecretion produced by pentagastrin, caerulein and bethanechol; its antagonizing activity against histamine stimulation was poor. | 1977 | 19285 |

plasticity in the adult vestibulo-ocular reflex arc. | human subjects with maintained reversal of their horizontal field of vision exhibit very substantial adaptive changes in their 'horizontal' vestibulo-ocular reflex (v.o.r.). short durations (8 min) of vision reversal during natural head movement led to 20% v.o.r. attenuation while long periods (4 weeks) eventually led to approximate reversal of the reflex. the reversed condition is approached by a complex, but highly systematic, series of changes in gain and phase of the reflex response relative ... | 1977 | 19786 |

inhibitory processes in the cerebral cortex and the anticonvulsive action of benzodiazepine derivatives. | a comparative study of the effect of some benzodiazepine deprivatives (chlonazepam, lorazepam, diazepam, and medazepam) on the recovery cycles of the interzonal response was carried out on unanesthetized curare-immobilized cats. these drugs proved to selectively inhibit the testing potential within the range of 20 to 100 msec. between the conditioning and the testing stimuli. this indicates that potentiation of gaba-ergic inhibition in the cerebral cortex. the threshold doses of the drugs induci ... | 1977 | 21007 |
analysis of the effect of bicarbonate on taste receptor sensitivity to organic acids. | addition of nahco3 or naoh to the solutions of lactic or pyruvic acids decreased threshold concentrations of h+ ions and increased intensity of afferent impulsation in the cat chroda tympani nerve. in spite of the fact that the concentrations of both lactate and pyruvate anions with the presence of naoh and nahco3 are the same at equal ph values the observed changes of the receptors responses were more intensive if nahco3 had been added. therefore the influence of nahco3 on the perception of org ... | 1977 | 21106 |
