3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl oxidation in fish, bird and reptile species: relationship to cytochrome p450 1a inactivation and reactive oxygen production.previously we showed that the polychlorinated biphenyl 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (tcb) caused a release of reactive oxygen species (ros) from cytochrome p450 1a (cyp1a) of the fish scup (stenotomus chrysops), and from rat and human cyp1a1. this was linked to a tcb- and nadph-dependent oxidative inactivation of the enzyme, which in scup and rat was inversely related to the rates of tcb oxidation. we examined the relationship between rates of tcb oxidation, cyp1a inactivation and ros productio ...200011790349
a stereotaxic atlas of the forebrain and midbrain of the eastern painted turtle (chrysemys picta picta).a stereotaxic atlas of the telencephalon, diencephalon and mesencephalon of a turtle (chrysemys picta picta) is presented. a description is given of the procedures employed in the construction of the atlas and a few suggestions are offered as to possible uses. the importance of the study of the turtle in the comparative approach is emphasized.19807400576
the effects of extensive forebrain lesions on visual discriminative performance in turtles (chrysemys picta picta).though anatomical research has demonstrated major ascending telecephalically directed visual channels in reptiles, little behavioral research has examined reptilian forebrain visual functions. the present study reports the effects of extensive forebrain lesions, involving either severe destruction of dorsal thalamus or disruption of the fibers of the lateral forebrain bundle (by lesions of the basolateral telecephalon), upon visual discriminative performance in the turtle. such lesions, which ex ...19807378794
the effects of lesions of telencephalic visual structures on visual discriminative performance in turtles (chrysemys picta picta).ascending thalamotelencephalic visual pathways that terminate in specific telencephalic regions have been described in all reptiles studied. although the anatomical data suggests that such telencephalic regions may play a role in visual processing in reptiles, few behavioral data are available. in the present study, the effects of destruction of either the core nucleus (cn) of the dorsal ventricular ridge (telencephalic terminus of the tectothalamofugal pathway) or the dorsal cortex (telencephal ...19836886065
cytochromes p450 in liver of the turtle chrysemys picta picta and the induction and partial purification of cyp1a-like proteins.cytochromes p450 (cyp) in hepatic microsomes from the turtle chrysemys picta picta and their response to inducers were examined. freshly caught turtles had one protein (59 kda) detected in western blot with monoclonal antibody 1-12-3 to scup cyp1a. that same band and a second band were detected with polyclonal anti-mouse cyp1a1. polyclonal anti-scup p450b (putative cyp2b) recognized three bands and anti-scup p450a (putative cyp3a), one band. tcb (3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl) at 5 mg kg-1 injec ...19989659368
susceptibility of two turtle species to eastern equine encephalitis virus.two species of turtle collected in southern new england were inoculated subcutaneously with eastern equine encephalitis virus. the spotted turtles (clemmys guttata) developed viremia and neutralizing antibody after exposure to 3 logs or more of virus. viremia was not detected in the eastern painted turtles (chrysemys picta), and neutralizing antibody was detected in only 1 of 15 inoculated c. picta; however, since pre-inoculation serum was not obtained from this animal, the possibility of natura ...19806257935
life cycle and pathology of spirorchis scripta stunkard, 1923 (digenea: spirorchiidae) in chrysemys picta picta. 19685647114
the physiology of hibernation among painted turtles: the eastern painted turtle chrysemys picta picta.eastern painted turtles (chrysemys picta picta) from connecticut were submerged at 3 degrees c in normoxic and anoxic water to simulate potential respiratory environments within their hibernacula. those in normoxic water could survive submergence for at least 150 d, while those in anoxic water could survive for a maximum of about 125 d. turtles in normoxic water developed a slight metabolic acidosis as plasma lactate accumulated to about 50 mm in 150 d, while anoxic turtles developed a severe la ...200610438685
