  • (16) However, cAMP also has posttranscriptional effects on the enzyme's synthesis, as evidenced by the 4- to 5-fold enhanced decline seen when cultured hepatoma cells are exposed to cAMP and transcription is inhibited.
  • (17) Cells defective in gpa2 fail to produce cAMP in response to glucose stimulation.
  • (18) 65% of the cAMP injected into the amniotic fluid of 2 monkeys remained after 1 hour.
  • (19) In intact animals, GM1 treatment produced a reduction in cAMP and Ca2+ induced striatal protein phosphorylation.
  • (20) We examined the effect of propentofylline on two adenosine actions in the rat hippocampus; the A2-mediated stimulation of 3H-cAMP accumulation and the A1-mediated inhibition of 3H-ACh release.

Carping


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Carp
  • (a.) Fault-finding; censorious caviling. See Captious.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Immunochemical and immunohistological experiments carried out with immunoaffinity purified polyclonal antibodies, generated against L1 from mouse brain, showed that carp optic nerve and brain, but not liver, contained L1 immunoreactivity.
  • (3) A systematic structural comparison of several carp gamma-crystallins with high methionine contents was made by the secondary-structure prediction together with computer model-building based on the established X-ray structure of calf gamma-II crystallin.
  • (4) Two fish rhabdoviruses, spring viraemia of Carp virus (SVC) and Pike fry rhabdovirus (PFR), have been shown to multiply in Drosophila melanogaster.
  • (5) Indirect immunofluorescence studies with four monoclonal antibodies raised against carp spermatozoa revealed that monoclonal antibody WCS 29 stained the outer membranes of primordial germ cells in larvae from 3 days after fertilization.
  • (6) In 2.2-g carp kept at 20 C, the prepatent period was 4 days only, and the parasitemia peaked at day 23 PI.
  • (7) Molinate sulphoxide, an oxidation metabolite of molinate, is cleaved in vitro by Japanese carp liver cytosol fraction, indicating the presence of GSH-S-transferase activity, since cleavage of the sulphoxide is dependent on the amount of supernatant protein and GSH in the assay medium.
