The chromosomal banding properties of Oxynoemacheilus simavicus (Balık & Bănărescu, 1978) were revealed out by C-banding and silver staining. Constitutive heterochromatin regions determined on the pericentromeres most chromosomes C-banding. Otherwise, nucleolus organizer (NORs) observed short (p) arms one middle-sized submetacentric (sm) chromosome pair Also, Ag-NOR size number polymorphism...

We determined the contributions of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) stimulation, adrenergic stimulation, and autonomic activation to pressure overload-induced c- fos expression in the adult rat heart in vivo. c- fos expression was increased in pressure-overloaded hearts created by aortic banding compared with sham-operated rats (458 ± 100% vs. sham, P < 0.05). GR-138950, a selective AT1 ant...

The mitotic chromosomes of several inbred strains of mice and a series of F(1) hybrids have been analyzed by quinacrine staining and further characterized by the centromeric heterochromatin banding (C-banding). Inbred strains had the same amount of C-banding material on homologous chromosomes but showed variation in the amount on different chromosomes. F(1) hybrids showed characteristics of eac...

The aim of the present study was to detect polymorphism in Insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene of beluga (Huso huso) fish using PCR-SSCP technique and also investigation of its association with growth traits (condition factor, body length and weight). A total of 150 specimens of beluga were randomly selected and DNA was isolated from caudal fin using modified salting out method. Then two ...

Triple staining with fluorochromes (DA/DAPI/CMA) and C-banding were used to characterize the composition of Pseudonannolene strinatii heterochromatin. C-banding showed C+ bands of different labeling intensity on chromosomes 1 and 2 in some cells. Fluorochrome staining revealed DAPI+ regions corresponding to the C-banding pattern, indicating that the heterochromatin of this species is abundant i...

Protein banding pattern of eight snakeheads – Channa species viz., Channa striatus, Channa marulius, Channa punctatus, Channa diplogramme, Channa bleheri, Channa gachua, Channa stewartii and Channa aurantimaculata collected from different regions of India were used to study the phylogenetic relationship among them. The banding pattern from muscle protein indicated a unique profile for each spec...

Various chromosomal banding techniques were utilized on the catfish, Iheringichthys labrosus, taken from the Capivara Reservoir. C-banding regions were evidenced in telomeric regions of most of the chromosomes. The B microchromosome appeared totally heterochromatic. The restriction endonuclease AluI produced a banding pattern similar to C-banding in some chromosomes; the B microchromosome, when...
