(18) Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT) activities were assayed in adrenal glands of the following groups of the Alaskan red-backed vole (Clethrionomys rutilus dawsoni): 1) laboratory reared at 20 degrees C and 2) exposed to 5 degrees C for 1, 3, 7, and 28 days; 3) wild, summer acclimatized; 4) wild, fall acclimatized; and 5) wild, winter acclimatized.
(19) Acclimatized rats showed an increased activity of mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase without changes in glycolytic enzyme activity in skeletal muscle, heart and liver.
(20) Glucose also lowered the steady potential, whatever the previous acclimatization temperature, when the external sodium concentration was low.4.
Acculturation
Definition:
Example Sentences:

(5) Comparisons were carried out with 1,894 dentate Mexican-Americans who had high acculturation status.
(6) The most important factors found to be associated with smoking were the presence of other smokers in the immediate social environment (home and workplace) and the degree of acculturation (particularly among women).
(7) The results indicate the importance of acculturation-related factors, including educational attainment, language preference, and nativity for predicting symptomatology among Mexican Americans.
(8) This study sought to determine if cultural heritage and acculturation influence the perception and expression of pain and anxiety.
(9) Hypertension is a clinical disease with a prevalence sufficiently high in acculturated societies to warrant it being designated a serious public health problem.
(10) All foreign medical graduates have acculturation problems, but they are especially aggravating among foreign psychiatric residents.
(11) The 6-month-olds' better performance on the major and augmented interval patterns than on the pelog interval pattern is potentially attributable to either the 6-month-olds' lesser perceptual acculturation than that of the 1-year-olds or perhaps to an innate predisposition for processing of music based on a single fundamental interval, in this case the semitone.
