(16) Straightbred H, SH, AH, SHS and AHA cows were mated to H bulls, HSH cows were mated to S bulls and HAH cows were mated to A bulls.
(17) Cow size, reproductive traits and calf performance through weaning were evaluated in a range environment for Simmental (S) x Hereford (H) and Angus (A) x H crosses in two-breed rotations and straightbred H. Data were grouped into seven dam breed categories: straightbred Hereford (H), crossbred F1 S x H cows (SH), S x H cows of low percentage H (SHS), S x H cows of high percentage H (HSH), F1 A x H cows (AH), A x H cows of low percentage H (AHA) and A x H cows of high percentage H (HAH).
(18) When compared to complex of 125I-LDL and whole heparin (H-125I-LDL), complex of 125I-LDL and high-affinity heparin subfraction (HAH-125I-LDL) produced marked increase in the degradation of lipoproteins by macrophages (7-fold vs. 1.4-fold over native LDL, after 5 h incubation) as well as cellular cholesteryl ester synthesis (16.7-fold vs. 2.2-fold over native LDL, after 18 h incubation) and content (36-fold vs. 2.7-fold over native LDL, after 48 h incubation).
(19) The present results support the hypotheses that HPH is formed via the direct reaction of HAH with pyruvic acid and that the secondary formation is mediated by conversion to HP.

Pah
Definition:
(interj.) An exclamation expressing disgust or contempt. See Bah.
(n.) A kind of stockaded intrenchment.
Example Sentences:
(1) In contrast, Leydig cells from rat testis contain monooxygenase systems which catalyze the metabolism of PAH, such as DMBA.
(2) The reason we have postulated that one-electron oxidation plays an important role in the activation of PAH derives from certain common characteristics of the radical cation chemistry of the most potent carcinogenic PAH.
(3) It is suggested that the atmosphere of Athens favours the formation of secondary direct-acting mutagens due to the oxidation and nitration of PAH by ozone and nitrogen oxides, which are more abundant in the late spring months.
(4) The cytosol binding activity apparently decreased but reincubation of the cytosol with the radioactive ligand completely restored "4S" PAH-BP activity.
