| particle-induced x-ray emission analysis of elements in plasma from wild and captive sea turtles (eretmochelys imbricata, chelonia mydas, and caretta caretta) in okinawa, japan. | the aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of direct determination of trace and major element concentrations in plasma samples from wild (six hawksbill, nine green, and nine loggerhead) and captive sea turtles (25 howksbill, five green, and three loggerhead) in okinawa, japan. the particle induced x-ray emission method allowed detection of 23 trace and major elements (al, as, br, ca, cl, cr, cu, fe, hg, k, mg, mn, mo, ni, p, pb, s, se, si, sr, ti, y, and zn). the wild sea turtles were ... | 2012 | 22402882 |
| comparative phylogeny and historical perspectives on population genetics of the pacific hawksbill (eretmochelys imbricata) and green turtles (chelonia mydas), inferred from feeding populations in the yaeyama islands, japan. | mitochondrial dna sequence polymorphisms and patterns of genetic diversity represent the genealogy and relative impacts of historical, geographic, and demographic events on populations. in this study, historical patterns of population dynamics and differentiation in hawksbill (eretmochelys imbricata) and green turtles (chelonia mydas) in the pacific were estimated from feeding populations in the yaeyama islands, japan. phylogenetic relationships of the haplotypes indicated that hawksbill and gre ... | 2010 | 20064003 |
| subcellular distribution of trace elements in the liver of sea turtles. | subcellular distribution of cu, zn, se, rb, mo, ag, cd and pb was determined in the liver of green turtles (chelonia mydas) and hawksbill turtles (eretmochelys imbricata) from yaeyama islands, japan. also, hepatic cytosol from sea turtles was applied on a sephadex g-75 column and elution profiles of trace elements were examined. copper, zn, se, rb, ag and cd were largely present in cytosol in the liver of both species, indicating that cytosol was the significant site for the accumulation of thes ... | 2002 | 12398389 |
