The Ameba-to-flagellate Transformation in Tetramitus Rostratus
Tetramitus exhibits independent ameboid and flagellate stages of remarkable morphological dichotomy. Transformation of the ameba involves the formation of four kinetosomes and their flagella. The arrangement of these kinetosomes and associated whorls of microtubules extending under the pellicle establishes the asymmetric flagellate form. While no recognizable kinetosomal precursors have been se...
متن کاملProanthocyanidine alleviates lung damage induced by nitrogen mustard
Destructive properties of nitrogen mustard especially on respiratory system make it an effective chemical weapon with lack of an antidote. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of oxidative stress in mustard toxicity and the protective effect of proanthocyanidine. Rats were separated into three groups each containing fifteen rats. The three groups were control group which were expos...
متن کاملCleft Palate induced by Sulfur Mustard in mice fetus
Sulfur Mustard (SM) is a chemical warfare agent which was widely used in the World War I and more recently during Gulf war in the early 1980s'. SM is a strong alkylating agent with known mutagenic and carcinogenic effects but only few studies have been published on its teratogenicity. Since SM has been widely used as a chemical weapon by the Iraqi regime against the Iranian soldiers as well as ...
متن کاملInjury induced by chemical warfare agents: characterization and treatment of ocular tissues exposed to nitrogen mustard.
PURPOSE Mustard agents are highly toxic and abundant warfare chemicals, primarily affecting ocular tissues, with no specific treatment antidote. The purpose of the present study was to examine the efficacy of novel metallocomplexes, known to inhibit the formation of highly reactive free radicals, to reduce ocular injury induced by nitrogen mustard (NM). METHODS One eye in each of 72 rabbits w...
متن کاملGenetic Changes Induced by Exposure to Nitrogen Mustard and Their Inheritance I N Paramecium
N RECENT years chemical induction of mutation has assumed considerable I importance in experimental genetics, as evidenced particularly by the work of AUERBACH and ROBSON (1944, 1946, 1947a, 1947b), AUERBACH (1949a, b) and others. These workers, investigating mustard gases and related compounds found them to be potent mutagens in various organisms. One of the compounds shown by AUERBACH and ROB...
