-
(1977)Rats and fish were used to study the effect of diets differing only in carbohydrate supplement on the specific activity of the enzyme acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase which catalyzes the first step in the de novo biosynthesis ...
-
(1977)Rats were trained to asymptotic running speed in a straight runway and were then given pretraining with either escapable shock, inescapable shock, or no shock. Subjects were then tested in the runway in the presence of ...
-
(1984)Adult rats were tested for step-down passive avoidance following exposure to either water contaminated with CoCl₂ (Group Co) or uncontaminated distilled water (Group X). Behavioral analysis included acquisition and retention ...
-
(1993)Previous research has shown that exposure to inescapable shock produces a hormonally mediated opioid hypoalgesia in rats. In addition, it has a long-term sensitization effect on the opioid system that increases reactivity ...
-
(1977)The involvement of neurotransmitters in the inhibitory effect of suckling on plasma LH was investigated. The effect of suckling on the plasma LH levels was studied when the activity of the neurotransmitters, dopamine or ...
-
(1997)Prior research shows that very intense noises can produce antinociception in awake rats. Experiment 1 examined the antinociceptive effects of a tone and a noise at various intensity levels on awake and pentobarbital ...
-
(1990)The effects of sorghum and millet bran on blood and liver cholesterol levels and colonic physiology were examined using 110 male Sprague-Dawley rats. A white sorghum (low tannin), a brown sorghum (high tannin) and a pearl ...
-
(1993)A conserved histidine residue at position 331 of rat tyrosine hydroxylase was changed to glutamine by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant enzyme, TOH-H331Q, was expressed in E. coli with a pET3b-based vector. The level ...
-
(1982)Rats were sacrificed on days 19, 20, and 21 of pregnancy. Peripheral maternal blood and fetal blood were collected. Deoxycorticosterone (DOC) was tentatively identified using Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and ...
