Physiological and biochemical changes associated with acute experimental dehydration in the desert adapted mouse, Peromyscus eremicus

Characterizing traits critical for adaptation to a given environment is an important first step in understanding how phenotypes evolve. How animals adapt to the extreme heat and aridity commonplace to deserts is an exceptionally interesting example of these processes, and has been the focus of study for decades. In contrast to those studies, where experiments are conducted on either wild animal...

ECG alterations and changes in biochemical parameters associated with experimental salinomycin toxicosis in sheep

Salinomycin is a monocarboxylic polyether ionophore with antimicrobial properties. It is a dietaryadditive used as a growth promoter for ruminants and as a coccidiostat in chickens. The mechanism of actionof ionophores at the cellular level is to selectively bind certain ions creating intra and extracellularbiochemical disturbances. Clinical signs of ionophore intoxication are non specific and ...

Biochemical changes associated with flower development in mini potted carnation

The present investigation was undertaken to determine the biochemical changes associated with flower development during the flowering season in the potted carnation cultivars of ‘Lilac on purple’ and ‘Pink’. Ethylene production and the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content of the flowers were observed to increase up to stage 5 (during the five stage of flow...
