Example Sentences:
(1) Total cellular proteins from the livers of 4-, 16- and 52-week-old hepatitis- and hepatoma-predisposed Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rats were compared to those from the livers of the corresponding control rats [Long-Evans Agouti (LEA) rats] by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
(2) Nonagouti rats were significantly easier to approach, capture, and handle than their agouti sibs.
(3) We have characterized a gene encoding a novel 131 amino acid protein that we propose is the one gene associated with the agouti locus.
(4) The cortical representation of the contralateral visual field in area 17 of the agouti's brain was studied by multiunit recording.
(5) Future experiments will determine the type of protein(s) encoded by the agouti coat color locus and establish the mechanism by which these protein(s) control the nature and timing of pigment production by melanocytes in the hair follicle.
(6) In a preliminary study, different rates of N-, O- and N,O- demethylation of dextromethorphan to yield D-methoxymorphinane, dextrorphan and D-hydroxymorphinane, respectively, were found in extensive- (Sprague-Dawley) and poor-metabolizer (female dark Agouti) rat strains.
(7) F1 hybrids of white gerbils with red eyes and agouti gerbils with wild coat color had the agouti coat color.
(8) When compared with dark Agouti rats treated with cremophore (n = 10) or not treated at all (n = 12), dark Agouti rats on chronic subcutaneous CsA plus cremophore for 23 days (n = 10) had no difference in kidney histology but had slightly increased liver fatty changes.
(9) The agouti (a) locus acts within the microenvironment of the hair follicle to regulate coat color pigmentation in the mouse.
(10) Tissues from lean agouti and obese yellow mice treated with HP in vitro showed decreased basal and insulin-stimulated glucose oxidation as well as decreased 14C incorporation into lipids.
(11) A breeding test disclosed chimerism of germ cells in two chimeric rats, and there were more pups with agouti coats than with albino coats.
(12) The Itp locus was mapped between the beta-2-microglobulin (B2m) and the agouti (a) loci on chromosome 2.
(13) We find that three different recessive lethal complementation groups are present at the agouti locus, two of which are contained within the al deletion.
(14) Unusual accumulations of Cu in the liver of LEC rats were found, depending on the age of the animals, the metal concentration being more than approximately 20-40 times those of normal LEA rats (Long-Evans rats with an agouti coat color).
(15) alpha-MSH and theophylline had no such effects on hair follicular tyrosinase activity in the non-agouti mice.
(16) Hematologic and serum chemical values established for the agouti were similar to those found in other rodents.
(17) They showed, for example, that the probability of the observed loss of the agouti color in the ATs being by chance is about 0.53 and the probability is nearly 0.50 for there being a spurious line difference, i.e., unrelated to ethanol sensitivity, in which only line had lost the agouti allele.
(18) We have also physically mapped these sequences by in situ hybridization to band H1 of chromosome 2, thus directly confirming previous assignments of the location of the agouti locus.
(19) Infant agoutis showed marginal antibody titers to reovirus type 3 and Toolan's H-1 viruses, and Theiler's GDVII antibodies were detected in juvenile agoutis, but no antibody titers to murine viruses were found in the adult agoutis maintained at our institution.
(20) The recombinants obtained provide valuable resources for determining the direction of chromosome walking experiments designed to clone sequences at the agouti locus.
