(19) (2) When tadpoles were kept in thyroxine solutions at 5 degrees, there were no changes in developmental morphology, and tadpoles kept at 18 and 20 degrees showed significant metamorphic changes in 5 to 6 days, but there was a high mortality at the higher T4 concentrations.
(20) The result is that four factors metamorphic rock, zinc, copper, chromium are suspected factors.
Metamorphose
Definition:
(v. t.) To change into a different form; to transform; to transmute.
(n.) Same as Metamorphosis.
Example Sentences:
(1) A differential, temporal and spatial expression of this epitope in metamorphosing nervous tissue was outlined, that apparently characterises homologous neuronal populations in two phylogenetically distinct holometabolous insects, i.e.
(2) Arms excised from metamorphosing larvae will undergo a sequence of contraction and histolysis that is identical to that occurring in intact larvae.
(3) Six polypeptides are characteristic of the secondary intestinal epithelium, as they are only detected in the newly-metamorphosed juvenile.
(4) Silver grains on colloid droplets indicating thyroid hormone excretion are inexistent in the most larval neotenics, more numerous in most metamorphosed neotenics.
(5) In metamorphosing tadpole liver, the quantitative and qualitative changes in glycoproteins were observed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and lectin-peroxidase method.
(6) When the narrative voice ventriloquises the metamorphosed Gregor to muse "Was he an animal if music could captivate him so?
(7) In this study, relative enzyme activities of the products of two duplicate loci in each of three enzyme systems (aconitase, malate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase) were measured in paedomorphs and in paedomorphs forced to metamorphose by treatment with thyroxine.
(8) The background of the National Cancer Institute fermentation program is placed into the historical perspective of the entire NCI drug development program, which began as the Cancer Chemotherapy National Service Center and metamorphosed into the Chemotherapy Program and ultimately into the Division of Cancer Treatment.
(9) The sexual abuse of women today is analyzed alongside the mythology of Ovid's Metamorphoses.
(10) Inhibitors of cysteine proteinase were found in tadpole tail of metamorphosing bullfrog.
(11) These tadpoles metamorphosed as intact controls did, but their plasma PRL levels remained low.

(13) We report an approach to this problem by observing metamorphosing larvae using electron microscopy and by assaying the aggregation potential of ciliated and central larval cells fractionated on Percoll gradients.
(14) Presence of a thyroxine-binding protein was demonstrated in vivo in cell sap of tail and liver of metamorphosing Rana catesbeiana tadpoles.
(15) These data indicate that vacuoles may be discharged promptly from the liver cell cytoplasm after recovery from congestion, and the remaining vacuoles may metamorphose to hyaline globules by condensation of the contents and finally fade into the cytoplasm.
(16) His experiences typically involve paralysis, difficulty breathing, strange proprioceptive hallucinations such as his body vibrating, and bizarre "hyper-real" visual hallucinations during which objects may metamorphose into nightmarish objects.
