While temporal variable measurements have assisted in objectively defining and distinguishing between four-beat stepping gaits performed by gaited horses, kinematic research describing joint motion of the gaited horse is limited. The objective of this study was to measure the temporal variables and the forelimb kinematics of the flat walk and fox trot of the Missouri Fox Trotter (MFT) to provid...

Abstract This paper presents a detailed etymological analysis of words for ‘fox’ in Indo-European ( IE ) languages. We argue that most ‘fox’-words go back to two distinct PIE stems: * h₂lō̆p-eḱ - and ulp-i ‘wildcat, fox’. provide revised the etymology relationship among various Indo-Iranian ‘fox’-words, we Baltic preserves remnants ḱ -suffix found Greek, Armenian, Indo-Iranian. Additionally, des...

The silver fox (Vulpes vulpes), a coat color variant of the red fox, is one of the most important fur-bearing animals. To date, development of microsatellite loci for the silver fox has been limited and mainly based on cross-amplification by using canine SSR primers. In this study, 28 polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and identified for silver fox through the construction and scr...

Neuronal depolarization and CaM kinase IV signaling alter the splicing of multiple exons in transcripts for ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, and other synaptic proteins. These splicing changes are mediated in part by special CaM kinase-responsive RNA elements, within or adjacent to exons that are repressed in the initial phase of chronic depolarization. The splicing of many neuronal tr...

Hephaestin (Heph), a membrane-bound multicopper ferroxidase (FOX) expressed in duodenal enterocytes, is required for optimal iron absorption. However, sex-linked anemia (sla) mice harboring a 194-amino acid deletion in the Heph protein are able to absorb dietary iron despite reduced expression and mislocalization of the mutant protein. Thus Heph may not be essential, and mice are able to compen...

Using the genome sequence of the medaka, Oryzias latipes, we examined the genomic complement of Fox genes in this organism to gain insight into the evolutionary relationships and expression patterns of this gene family. We identified 31 Fox genes by searching for Forkhead domains in the medaka genome and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers designed from protein alignments. All the ...
