Naturally acquired rabies in an eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus).
Rabies in an Eastern chipmunk was detected by fluorescent-antibody testing and mouse inoculation. The results were independently confirmed, and the virus was recovered from tissue culture.
متن کاملSeasonal changes in thermoregulatory responses to hypoxia in the Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus).
Mammalian heterotherms are known to be more tolerant of low oxygen levels than homeotherms. However, heterotherms demonstrate extreme seasonality in daily heterothermy and torpor expression. Because hypoxia depresses body temperature (T(b)) and metabolism in mammals, it was of interest to see if seasonal comparisons of normothermic animals of a species capable of hibernation produce changes in ...
متن کاملThyroid Hormone Metabolism
This book contains a collection of 26 papers that were presented at an International Symposium in Glasgow, Scotland, August, 1974. It is divided into two sections entitled "Metabolism and Binding" (15 papers) and "Thyroid Hormone Function in Clinical Investigation" (11 papers). The first section begins with an authoritative review by J. Robbins on the structure and function of serum thyroxine-t...
متن کاملMetabolism of Thyroid Hormone
Thyroid hormone is indispensable for normal development and metabolism of most cells and tissues. Thyroid hormones are metabolized by different pathways: glucuronidation, sulfation, and deiodination, the latter being the most important. Three enzymes catalyzing deiodination have been identified, called type 1 (D1), type 2 (D2) and type 3 (D3) iodothyronine deiodinases. D1 and D2 have outer ring...
متن کاملThyroid hormone metabolism in poultry
Thyroid hormone (TH) receptors preferentially bind 3,5,3’-triiodothyronine (T3). Therefore the metabolism of thyroxine (T4) secreted by the thyroid gland in peripheral tissues, resulting in the production and degradation of receptor-active T3, plays a major role in thyroid function. The most important metabolic pathway for THs is deiodination. Another important pathway is sulfation, which is a ...
