Peroxidase and cytochrome oxidase in rat tissues.
The presence of peroxidase in the uterus of the estrogeninjected ovariectomized rat and in the Walker carcinosarcoma No. 256 of rats has been reported previously (1, 2). In view of the fact that both these tissues undergo rapid proliferation, it was thought of interest to survey several other rat tissues to determine whether peroxidase might be generally associated with proliferation.

متن کاملNeural Photoreception in a Lamellibranch Mollusc
The pallial nerves of Spisula solidissima each contain a single afferent nerve fiber which responds directly to illumination of the nerve, and apparently mediates the "shadow" response of siphon retraction. These units show constant-frequency spontaneous activity in the dark; illumination abruptly inhibits this discharge, and cessation of the light stimulus then evokes a prolonged burst of impu...
متن کاملThe Cell Junction in a Lamellibranch Gill Ciliated Epithelium
The junctional complex in the gill epithelium of the freshwater mussel (Elliptio complanatus) consists of an intermediary junction followed by a 2-3 micro long septate junction. Homologous and heterologous cell pairs are connected by this junction. After fixation with 1% OsO(4) containing 1% potassium pyroantimonate, electron microscopy of the gill reveals deposits of electron-opaque precipitat...
متن کاملQuantification of cytochrome P-450 gene expression in human tissues.
Humans can metabolize an extremely wide range of potentially harmful foreign hydrophobic compounds including many drugs, environmental pollutants and chemical carcinogens. This ability is mainly due to the action of cytochromes 1’-450. These proteins constitute a large superfamily that has been classified into several families, the largest of which (P45011) has been further divided into seven s...
متن کاملBioaccumulation of Metals in Tissues of Marine Animals, Part II: Metal Concentrations in Animal Tissues
The bioaccumulation of metals in an animal depends on a multitude of factors: biotic ones, like its body dimensions and mass, age, sex, diet, metabolism, and position in the trophic web; and abiotic ones, such as the distribution of metals in its environment, salinity, temperature, and pH of the water, habitat type, and interactions with other metals. But it is diet that has the greatest influe...
