Example Sentences:

(5) The response (increase in action potential frequency) of nasopalatine and ethmoidal nerves to brief presentations of formaldehyde, ozone, or amyl alcohol was a power function of stimulus concentration.
(6) The response of cells to four odors (amyl acetate, 1-butanol, ethyl acetate and ethyl butyrate) showed differences in odor selectivity, suggesting their ability to discriminate among odors.
(7) In order to direct chromosomal integration of the alpha-amylase-encoding gene from Bacillus licheniformis (amyL) under the control of expression and secretion signals from Enterococcus faecalis, the chromosomal fragment (named AB) from the pGIP3124 plasmid [Hols et al., Gene 118 (1992) 21-30] was chosen and split into two fragments (A and B).
(8) Experiments focused on obtaining a complete intensity series, including interspersed unstimulated spontaneous activity records, for a single odorant (usually amyl acetate), but concentration responses to other odorants were tested when possible.
(9) The study of the carotid pulse tracing and systolic time intervals was made using the injection of methoxane and inhalation of amyl nitrite.
(10) This study showed that it is possible to produce a relaxation of biliary tract muscle fibres with an injection of nitroglycerin and then replace amyl nitrite during anesthesia.
(11) Regional cerebral blood flow (CBF), mood states and somatic symptoms were measured before and after inhalation of amyl nitrite in 10 physically healthy volunteers with a prior history of using volatile nitrites for recreational purposes.

(16) Three lipophilic amide derivatives of phthaloyl-GABA (P-GABA), namely gamma-phthalimido N-amyl butyramide (PGA), gamma-phthalimido-N-hexylbutyramide (PGH) and gamma-phthalimido N-phenylbutyramide (PGP), were synthesized and evaluated for their hypnotic and anticonvulsant activities in mice.
(17) In artificially ventilated, paralyzed rabbits amyl nitrite caused a pronounced sensitization of pulmonary stretch receptors (PSRs) during the inflation phase, typically with a reduction in the level of activity during the deflation phase.
(18) It is concluded that from the clinical stand point, neither amyl nitrite administration nor standing up can be used as a test to assess acurately the degree of beta blockade, because both procedures activate vagal withdrawal which increases heart rate regardless of the degree of beta blockade.

Definition:
(n.) One of a group of metameric hydrocarbons, C5H10, of the ethylene series. The colorless, volatile, mobile liquid commonly called amylene is a mixture of different members of the group.
