1. Tail muscles of larval Rana temporaria and to a lesser extent Xenopus laevis, at prometamorphosis, were investigated by light and electron microscopy. In the case of Rana their degeneration is described at metamorphic climax. 2. The non-degenerate tail muscles of both genera are generally similar in their ultrastructure and likewise similar to those striated muscles of other adult vertebrate...

Examination of the lectotype and a paralectotype of Rana okinavana Boettger, 1895 revealed that the species is not a brown frog of the subgenus Rana, occurring in the middle group of the Ryukyu Archipelago, but is identical with a frog of the subgenus Nidirana from the southern group of the Archipelago and Taiwan, now called R. psaltes Kuramoto, 1985. The type locality of R. okinavana given in ...

—Using starch gel electrophoresis, we examined proteins specified by 41 presumptive loci representing two breeding populations of Rana subaquavocalis, a recently described species of leopard frog from Arizona. Individual and population levels of heterozygosity were low. Mean number of alleles detected (1.2) and mean levels of individual heterozygosity were higher at the Barchas Ranch location (...

Rana dijagnoza neurorazvojnog odstupanja je izazovna. Zahvaljujući modernim neuroslikovnim dijagnostičkim alatima i primjenom pouzdanih kliničkih testova koji su dio svakodnevne kliničke prakse, smanjena prevalencija najtežeg odstupanja, cerebralne paralize. Prije četvrtog mjeseca kronološke dobi najprediktivniju vrijednost za razvoj težih neurorazvojnih imaju rezultati magnetske rezonancije mo...

the dorsal skin of the iranian frog, rana ridibanda, is associated with numerous prominent granular glands which extract their secretions in the response to stressor or invading pathogens .the secretions have broad spectrum antimicrobial effects. in this research the effect of antimicrobial skin secretions from iranian frog (rana ridibanda) has been examined against gram positive methycillin re...

background: microwave thermotherapy has been gradually used in radiotherapy and it is reported that microwave radiation increases bone demineralization rate independently of temperature. furthermore, it becomes more and more widespread that the damage caused by the synergistic effect of microwave radiation and hypergravity. the experiment was designed to investigate the effect of microwave radi...

The present study was undertaken to further clarify the unique features of the structure and function of the mitochondrial ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) of animal cells. 1) The entire mitochondrial genome of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, was cloned into a plasmid vector pBR322 at the unique Bam HI site, and the nucleotide sequences of the small (12S) and large (16S) rRNA genes and their flanking ND1...

BACKGROUND Patients allergic to cashew nuts often report allergy to pistachio, which could be a result of cross-reactivity between the two as both are members of the Anacardiaceae family. OBJECTIVE Because cashew 7S globulin (vicilin, Ana o 1) is a recognized major allergen, we cloned the pistachio homologue and assayed it for IgE reactivity and cross-reactivity with Ana o 1. METHODS Degene...
