Example Sentences:

  • (1) No brown bullheads of ages 6 or 7 were collected in the Black River, while these age groups composed 18% of the catch in Old Woman Creek.
  • (2) The endocrine pancreas of the bullhead catfish, Ictalurus nebulosus, and the channel catfish, I. punctatas was studied by light and electron microscopy.
  • (3) In bullhead hepatocytes, epinephrine induced a biphasic [Ca2+]i response, with an initial transient rise followed by a sustained component; this response was virtually abolished in the absence of extracellular Ca2+.
  • (4) Ultrastructural, functional, and cytochemical characteristics of resident sinusoidal macrophages (RSM) in brown bullhead (Ictalurus nebulosus) liver were examined.
  • (5) Control bullhead brains had higher concentrations of glycogen, ATP, creatine phosphate (CrP), and glucose than control trout.
  • (6) PaO2 and ventilation measurements in Salmo gairdnerii and Ictalurus melas (brown bullhead) were performed during progressive or step changes of PwO2.
  • (7) Fresh or ripened spores of M. cotti and M. cerebralis were not infectious for bullheads or rainbow trout, respectively.
  • (8) The cerebellar afferents in the bullhead catfish (Teleostei) were labeled by relying on the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP).
  • (9) Established cell lines from brown bullhead catfish (BB) and rainbow trout (RTG-2) and primary cultures of cells derived from gill, fin, and gonad tissues from brown bullhead catfish were evaluated for use as bioindicators in the neutral red cytotoxicity assay.
  • (10) Black bullheads were able to accumulate 60Co from water.
  • (11) Possible mechanisms for elimination of the superfluous axons observed in the white muscle of the developing brown bullhead are discussed.
  • (12) The in vitro metabolism of [3H]benzo[a]pyrene (BP) and [14C]benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol (BP-7,8-diol) by liver of brown bullhead (Ictalurus nebulosus) was characterized, as was the formation and persistence of BP-DNA adducts in vivo.
  • (13) No conversion occurred in the control tissue with the temperature maintained at 12 degrees C. No qualitative difference in the incorporation of [(3)H]leucine into proinsulin and its conversion into insulin at 12 degrees and 22 degrees C could be demonstrated between islet tissue from fish acclimated to less than 12 degrees C or to 22 degrees C. The results suggest that the enzyme(s) responsible for converting proinsulin into insulin in the bullhead may be temperature sensitive with low activity at 12 degrees C.
  • (14) A 3-MC-type of cytochrome P-450 appears to be primarily responsible for the oxidation of B f Q by control brown bullhead liver microsomes, whereas a phenobarbital-inducible type of cytochrome P-450 seems to be involved in the metabolism of B f Q by control rat liver microsomes.
  • (15) n. is described from the warmouth, Lepomis gulosus (Cuvier); brown bullhead, Ictalurus nebulosus (Lesueur); yellow bullhead, I. natalis (Lesueur); redbreast sunfish, L. auritus (Linnaeus); bluegill, L. macrochirus Rafinesque; spotted sunfish, L. punctatus (Valenciennes); and redfin pickerel, Esox americanus (Gmelin), from the Alabama River Drainage, brown bullhead from the Mobile Bay Drainage in Alabama, and pirate perch, Aphredoderus sayanus Gilliams, from an Atlantic Coast drainage in Georgia.
  • (16) These age and length distributions are consistent with the hypothesis that brown bullheads in the Black River were subjected to an age-selective mortality associated with high prevalences of liver carcinoma.
  • (17) Using degeneration staining methods, central projections of the olfactory tracts in the bullhead catfish, Ictalurus nebulosus were studied.
  • (18) Liver microsomes from rats were considerably more active in metabolizing benzo[f]quinoline (B f Q) than those from brown bullheads (Ictalurus nebulosus).
  • (19) Insulin biosynthesis in the brown bullhead, Ictalurus nebulosus (Le Sueur), was studied by measuring the incorporation in vitro of [(3)H]leucine into proteins of the principal islet.
  • (20) The antiviral effect of acyclovir (ACV; 9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine) on the replication of channel catfish virus (CCV), a poikilothermic herpesvirus, in brown bullhead cells (BB) was studied in vitro.
