OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the hazardous effects of fried potato chips upon the retina of two developmental stages of the albino rats aged 7 and 14 days from parturition.
METHODS
PREGNANT RATS WERE ARRANGED INTO TWO GROUPS: control pregnant rats and consequently their delivered newborns until reaching 7
In the suboesophageal ganglion of the Colorado potato beetle and the migratory locust three types of peptidergic neurosecretory cells were identified immunocytochemically with antisera to bovine pancreatic polypeptide, FMRFamide, vasopressin and alpha-MSH. Their locations and immunocytochemical
The sweet potato hornworm, Agrius convolvuli, possesses a pair of anterior cardiac nerves innervating the dorsal vessel. The anterior cardiac nerves branch off the visceral nerve that arises posteriorly from the frontal ganglion. Heartbeat reversal from anterograde heartbeat to posterograde
The thoracic ganglia of insects exhibit a highly ordered organization. It seems possible that the information underlying the emergence of this order during development and its maintenance throughout insect life is given via a distinct pattern of molecules distributed within the ganglion. The
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) plays important physiological and biochemical roles in insect. In this study, a full-length Ldalt cDNA was cloned from Leptinotarsa decemlineata. It was ubiquitously expressed in the eggs, larvae, pupae and adults. In the adults, Ldalt mRNA was widely distributed in
BACKGROUND
Leptinotarsa decemlineata is an able disperser by flight. Novel control strategies must be explored to control the damage and inhibit the dispersal efficiently. Proline is a major energy substrate during flight. Δ-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDh) catalyses the second step of
Delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) catalyzes the conversion of glutamate (Glu) to Glu semialdehyde (GSA). GSA spontaneously cyclizes to form P5C. P5C is then reduced to proline (Pro) or is converted to ornithine, the intermediate for arginine (Arg) biosynthesis. In the present study,
1. We studied the responses to odor of a central olfactory processing organ and subsequent central outputs in the terrestrial mollusk Limax maximus. We used extracellular recording techniques and optical recording from preparations stained with a voltage-sensitive dye to characterize network
A polyclonal antibody raised against locustamyoinhibin (Lom-MIH), a myoinhibiting neuropeptide of the locust Locusta migratoria, was used to search for locustamyoinhibin-like immunoreactivity in the central nervous system of the gray fleshfly, Neobellieria bullata, the Colorado potato beetle,
The extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of various types of protein and carbohydrate polymers with red-ox and acid-base properties that have a crucial impact on tissue homeostasis. In the present study, a combination of both frequently applied and also specialized histochemical staining methods were
