High density cell water in amphibian eggs?
The exchange of isotopic water, 2H2O and H2(18)O has been studied in amphibian eggs. The experiments were carried out with ovarian and body cavity eggs of Rana temporaria and unfertilized eggs of Ambystoma mexicanum. The cytoplasmic diffusion coefficient for H2(18)O was found to be 4.6 x 10(-6) cm2/s, somewhat higher than that for 2H2O, 3.4 x 10(-6) cm2/s. The total change in reduced weight, de...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Fatty Acid Composition of Yolk Lipids in Indigenous and Conventional Chicken Eggs
Eggs of the indigenous laying hens are preferred by consumers to those obtained from commercial breeds. The present study aimed to compare the fatty acid (FA) composition of yolk lipids of indigenous eggs (Indigenous; n = 20) and conventional eggs (Conventional; n = 20). Indigenous and conventional eggs were collected from Lori layer hens reared under free-range condition and an commercial farm...
متن کاملLight exposure and macular pigment optical density.
PURPOSE Biochemical research has demonstrated that lutein and zeaxanthin, the two macular carotenoids, are bleachable pigments. Further, evidence suggests that exposure to UV light can degrade plasma carotenoid levels in vivo. The present study investigated the effects of exposure to normal levels of light on the levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the retina. METHODS The optical density of ma...
متن کاملRespiratory Pigment from the Eggs of a Marine
-An apparatus providing continuous artificial illumination of constant intensity directed to the lower surface of flounders is pictured. Pigmentation was developed on the lower normally unpigmented surface in a high percentage of summer flounders in the following experimental situations: (1) Unoperated fishes in black tanks illuminated from below. (2) Blinded dark fishes in black tanks illumina...
