(a.) Of or pertaining to the family of fishes (Gadidae) which includes the cod, haddock, and hake.
(n.) One of the Gadidae.
Example Sentences:
(1) Glycolipids were isolated from nerve tissues of gadoid fishes including Alaskan pollack and Pacific cod.
(2) No other gadoids from the Nova Scotian banks were found to be infected; however, a single specimen of the fourbeard rockling, Enchelyopus cimbrius, from St. John's, Newfoundland, was found to be heavily infected with E. gadi.
(3) The results revealed that gadoid fish nerve membranes contain peculiar glycolipid molecular species that are distinctly different from those in other teleostean fishes and higher vertebrates.
(4) The characteristics of the glycolipid composition in gadoid fishes are discussed in relation to myelin functions, physicochemical properties of nerve membranes, and the phylogenic significance of this fish group.
Ganoid
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to Ganoidei. -- n. One of the Ganoidei.
Example Sentences:
(1) In order to understand the process of ganoine formation on the ganoid scales, scale regeneration has been studied to overcome the lack of a growth series of scale ontogeny.
(2) Presumably, high heterogeneity of serum proteins in the ganoids (practically comparable to that in higher vertebrates and man) is necessary for successful work of the most important biochemical system of the blood at all stages of evolutionary development of vertebrates, being of rather ancient origin.
(3) Belozerski and his coworkers [26, 27], based on a detailed study of fish DNA nucleotides, that the Ganoid fish are to be regarded as an independent class.
(4) Oxyntomodulin, glucagon, and a glucagon-like peptide (GLP) have been isolated from the endocrine pancreas of the alligator gar (Lepisosteus spatula), a ganoid fish.
(5) The existence of marrow tissue in cartilaginous ganoid fish, before the evolutionary development of bone, implies that the marrow and bone are two independent organs, developed separately and merged together by evolutionary pressure.
(6) The results show 1) that the young ganoid scales of Polypterus senegalus have a structure similar to that of typical elasmoid scales; and 2) that the isopedin structure does not change during ontogeny and so represents a permanent record of the first ontogenetic stages.
(7) The vascularization of the telencephalic choroid plexus of the sterlet Acipenser ruthenus, a ganoid fish, was examined by vascular corrosion casting and by light and transmission electron microscopy.
(8) Seven stages of ganoid scale regeneration have been defined over a period of five months in the polypterid fish Calamoichthys calabaricus.
(9) The described high heterogeneity of serum proteins in the ganoid fishes is particularly interesting from the standpoint of evolution of fractional composition of proteins in vertebrates.
(10) Such components are also observed in ganoid scales, although embryological data fail to support that lepidotrichial segments are modified scales.
(11) Insulin and a 36-residue peptide with homology to pancreatic polypeptide (PP) were isolated from the endocrine pancreas of the alligator gar (Lepisosteus spatula), a ganoid fish, by gel filtration and HPLC.
