gastrin and cholecystokinin in the eastern grey kangaroo, macropus giganteus giganteus.	gastrin and cck are believed to have a common ancestor. the gastrin structure has probably evolved from cck-like peptides at a stage later than the amphibians. to trace the evolution of gastrin and cck we have determined their structures in an australian marsupial, the eastern grey kangaroo. the brain cck was identical to cck-8 of most mammals. the larger form of kangaroo gastrin was a 33mer with the sequence pelhpqdlphlmtdlskkkgpwqeedaay(so3)gwmdf-nh2. the 11 italic residues indicate difference ...	1993	8134294
detection of toxoplasma gondii igg antibodies in juvenile great grey kangaroos, macropus giganteus giganteus.	serial igg antibody titers to toxoplasma gondii from three juvenile great grey kangaroos (macropus giganteus giganteus) with clinical signs consistent with toxoplasmosis were compared with titers from three clinically normal juveniles of similar age. the modified agglutination test was used to measure antibodies to t. gondii. results demonstrated declining antibody titers to t. gondii in five of six animals. antibody titers were similar in animals with and without clinical signs. this was interp ...	2003	12885138
