(1) Eight-week-old virgin untreated female mice were induced to ovulate using equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and were then caged with males overnight.
(2) Equine erythrocyte peptidases were compared to the six human erythrocyte peptidases, A, B, C, D, E, and F, regarding substrate specificity, relative activity, and electrophoretic mobility.
(3) Equine Cushing's disease is caused by an adenomatous hyperplasia of the intermediate pituitary which secretes high levels of beta-endorphin, ACTH, and other peptide derivatives of POMC.
(4) The effect of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) on equine thyroid function was determined by quantifying serum thyroxine (T4) and 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) before and after TRH administration.
(5) The distribution of substance P-like immunoreactivity in the normal equine colon differed in some respects from patterns observed in large intestines of other mammals.
(6) Its nonstructural and capsid proteins are most closely related to those of eastern equine encephalitis virus while its glycoproteins are most closely related to those of Sindbis virus.
(7) The anti-Banzi viral factor inhibited the in vitro Banzi viral RNA synthesis but not that of Eastern equine encephalitis virus or of Japanese encephalitis virus.
(8) We have previously shown that transcription of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) DNA is temporally regulated and produces a single 6 kb IE RNA which is derived from the IRs segments.
(9) Detection of PGE2-specific binding in the oviductal isthmus on Day 2 and Day 5 indicates that the oviduct is responsive to PGE2 when it is capable of transporting equine embryos.
(10) Paired sera from 20 humans with eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus infections and from 17 humans with western equine encephalitis (WEE) virus infections, all with previously demonstrated fourfold or greater rises or falls in hemagglutination-inhibiting, complement-fixing, or neutralizing antibody titers, were tested for immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies by an enzyme immunoassay.
(11) The strain of E. granulosus infecting equines in Spain and Ireland is genetically identical to that infecting horses in the United Kingdom.
(12) Our results indicate that the Rapid Strep system is a valuable aid for species identification of equine isolates of group C streptococci.
(13) The bean sprout enzyme catalyzed ferredoxin-dependent electron transfer from NADPH to equine cytochrome c at a high rate but, unlike the spinach enzyme, exhibited little NADPH to 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol diaphorase activity.
(14) We have observed pinealitis in a mare with equine recurrent uveitis.
(15) The capsule which surrounds the pre-attachment equine embryo has been compared with the zona pellucida (zp) that it replaces, as well as with the rabbit blastocyst coverings, by means of physicochemical and immunological methods.
(16) The primary structure of an elastase inhibitor located in the cytoplasm of leukocytes obtained from the equine species has been determined.
(17) As a result of the continuing threat of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE), a study was made to determine if revaccination against VEE (TC-83 vaccine) was feasible and if revaccination could be incorporated into other routine vaccination practices.
(18) During the past 20 years the equine population of Great Britain and Ireland has increased with the result that the practising veterinary surgeon is more frequently called upon to advise on equine problems.
(19) The inactivation of equine liver alcohol dehydrogenase by guanidine hydrochloride and urea has been studied by monitoring the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence and phosphorescence emission.
(20) Challenge of the immunized hamsters, with a hamster-adapted strain of equine herpesvirus type 1 demonstrated protection only in those animals which had been vaccinated with envelope-containing materials.
Horsy
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, or suggestive of, a horse, or of horse racing; as, horsy manners; garments of fantastically horsy fashions.
