Maur?cio Rocha e Silva is well known as the discoverer of bradykinin, the powerful hypotensive and smooth muscle stimulating polypeptide which was first detected in plasma following the addition of Bo…
Female noninbred Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to single doses of 0.28, 0.56, and 0.85 gray (Gy = 1 J/kg or 100 rads) of X-rays or 0.001, 0.004, 0.016, and 0.064 Gy of 430-keV neutrons at 62 +/- 1 …
Kisspeptin (KP) plays a key role in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis via the release of GnRH. As normal KP signaling is essential for reproductive function, it could be an int…
A low-pressure cloud chamber was used for several years to display the tracks created by the passage of ionizing particles through vapors of interest. The spatial distributions of the ions that were f…
We applied 2-photon laser ablation to write subdiffraction nanoscale chemical patterns into ultrathin polymer films under ambient conditions. Poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate brush layers were prepa…
We present a simulation study of pattern formation in an ensemble of chemotactic run-and-tumble bacteria, focussing on the effect of spatial confinement, either within traps or inside a maze. These ge…
A density functional theory (DFT) study of {CoNO}(8) cobalt nitrosyl complexes containing the [n,n]tropocoronand ligand (TC-n,n) has revealed a sharp reduction of singlet-triplet gaps as the structure…
Free radical generation by peritoneal leukocytes from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice was monitored for 18 days following infection with Eimeria vermiformis. Free radical generation occurred earlier and was q…
The effect of sorghum particle size on nutrient digestibilities at the terminal ileum and over the total digestive tract of growing-finishing pigs were investigated in a replicated 3 X 3 Latin square …
Energy and nutrient digestibility of solvent-extracted canola meal (CM) is limited in pigs by its relatively high fiber content. The seed hull, which greatly contributes to the fiber content of CM, is…
A wide-angle funduscopic lens was used to take slit-lamp photographs of the posterior vitreous. The lens was then evaluated for its optics, magnification, field of view, and photographic usefulness an…
The photophysical, photochemical, two-photon absorption (2PA) and metal ion sensing properties of a new fluorene derivative (E)-1-(7-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)styryl)-9,9-bis(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl)-9…
The vagal nerve and gut hormones CCK and GLP-1 play important roles in the control of food intake. However, it is not clear to what extent CCK and GLP-1 increase satiation by stimulating receptors loc…
Level fluctuating vibration has been evaluated by the cumulative index L10, but some investigators suggest that the L10 cannot represent an adverse comment on vibration. In order to clarify the compli…
The aim of this research was to determine the adsorption behaviour of bulgur. Three different particle sizes (2<coarse<3.5, 1.6<medium<3.0, 0.5<fine<2.0 mm) of bulgur, purchased from market, were kept…
To assess the possible role of circulating enkephalins in the osmotic release of vasopressin, Met5 (M-Enk)- or Leu5-enkephalin (L-Enk) dissolved in 0.9 or 10% NaCl was infused to either anesthetized o…
A simplistic convenient "arm-first" catalytic synthesis method is demonstrated to render soft unimolecular star polyethylene nanoparticles. Low-dispersity polyethylene arms of controllable length and …
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) injected into the third ventricle (3rd V) of conscious ovariectomized rats bearing a permanent jugular cannula increased the percentage of plasma samples showing detectable imm…
Superoxide reductase (SOR) is a non-heme iron metalloenzyme that detoxifies superoxide radical in microorganisms. Its active site consists of an unusual non-heme Fe(2+) center in a [His4Cys1] square p…
Index-matched indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes for capacitive touch screen panels have been fabricated to improve optical transmittance and reduce the difference of reflectance (deltaR) between the e…
