Weber, Jean-Michel, and Deena S. Shanghavi. Regulation of glucose production in rainbow trout: role of epinephrine in vivo and in isolated hepatocytes. Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol 278: R956–R963, 2000.— The rate of hepatic glucose production (Ra glucose) of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was measured in vivo by continuous infusion of [6-3H]glucose and in vitro on isola...

Chupreta, Sergey, Ming Du, Andrea Todisco, and Juanita L. Merchant. EGF stimulates gastrin promoter through activation of Sp1 kinase activity. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 278: C697–C708, 2000.—Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor activation stimulates gastrin gene expression through a GC-rich element called gastrin EGF response element (gERE). This element is bound by Sp1 family members and is ...

Busk, Morten, Frank B. Jensen, and Tobias Wang. Effects of feeding on metabolism, gas transport, and acid-base balance in the bullfrog Rana catesbeiana. Am. J. Physiol. Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 278: R185–R195, 2000.—Massive feeding in ectothermic vertebrates causes changes in metabolism and acid-base and respiratory parameters. Most investigations have focused on only one aspect of...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and the structurally related polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are abundant persistent organic pollutants that exert several comparable neurotoxic effects. Importantly, hydroxylated metabolites of PCBs and PBDEs have an increased neurotoxic potency. Recently, we demonstrated that PCBs can act as (partial) agonist on GABAA neurotransmitter receptors, with PC...

We discuss the role of kaon-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon correlations in kaon condensation in dense matter. Correlations raise the threshold density for kaon condensation, possibly to densities higher than those encountered in stable neutron stars. PACS numbers: 13.75.Jz, 21.65.+f, 97.60.Jd Typeset using REVTEX 1 The possibility of kaon condensation in dense matter was suggested by Kaplan and Ne...

The question if conserved currents can be sensibly defined in supersymmetric minisuper-spaces is investigated in this paper. The " square-root " structure associated with the constraint equations of N=1 supergravity is the motivation to contemplate this tempting idea. Our objective is to employ exclusively the differential equations derived directly from the Lorentz and supersymmetry quantum co...

MacLean, David A., Virginia A. Imadojemu, and Lawrence I. Sinoway. Interstitial pH, K1, lactate, and phosphate determined with MSNA during exercise in humans. Am. J. Physiol. Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 278: R563–R571, 2000.—The purpose of the present study was to use the microdialysis technique to simultaneously measure the interstitial concentrations of several putative stimulators ...

Zhang, Rong, Julie H. Zuckerman, and Benjamin D. Levine. Spontaneous fluctuations in cerebral blood flow: insights from extended-duration recordings in humans. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 278: H1848–H1855, 2000.—To determine the dependence of cerebral blood flow (CBF) on arterial pressure over prolonged time periods, we measured beat-to-beat changes in mean CBF velocity in the middle cerebr...
