(13) Considerable glucose 6-phosphatase activity survived 240min of treatment with phospholipase C at 5 degrees C, but in the absence of substrate or at physiological glucose 6-phosphate concentrations the delipidated enzyme was completely inactivated within 10min at 37 degrees C. However, 80mM-glucose 6-phosphate stabilized it and phospholipid dispersions substantially restored thermal stability.

(16) Atrioventricular (AV) delay that results in maximum ventricular filling and physiological mechanisms that govern dependence of filling on timing of atrial systole were studied by combining computer experiments with experiments in the anesthetized dog instrumented to measure phasic mitral flow.
(17) At physiologic doses (10(-8) M) estradiol inhibits the binding at a significant extent on the soluble receptor, but not on membrane-bound form.
(18) With the successful culture of these tissues, their development, biochemistry, and physiology, potentially of great importance in understanding early vertebrate evolution, can be better understood.
(19) The binding follows the principle of isotope dilution in the physiologic range of vitamin B12 present in human serum.
(20) Axonal regeneration with the ANG was equal to SAGs as measured by axonal diameters, physiological, and functional methods, although the SAG demonstrated statistically higher axonal counts.
Placentation
Definition:
(n.) The mode of formation of the placenta in different animals; as, the placentation of mammals.
(n.) The mode in which the placenta is arranged or composed; as, axile placentation; parietal placentation.
Example Sentences:
(1) Confined placental chorionic mosaicism is reported in 2% of viable pregnancies cytogenetically analyzed on chorionic villi samplings (CVS) at 9-12 weeks of gestation.

(4) Intravenous injection of Cd2+ to the pregnant rat on day 12 causes a dose-dependent inhibition of placental Zn2+ transport.
(5) Stimulation of placental growth by fetal insulin may be an important component of the fetal growth stimulatory effect of endogenous insulin.
(6) Significantly more PP12 (P less than 0.001) was released into the medium from decidual explants than from chorion and amnion explants throughout the experimental period of 24 h. When incubated under identical conditions, placental explants released no detectable PP12.
(7) We suggest trans-placental sensitization as one of several possible interpretations of this finding.

(10) Affinity-purified human placental ribonuclease inhibitor (PRI) was digested by trypsin.
(11) Evaluation of the roles of prolactin and placental lactogen in pregnancy in primates has revealed mammotropic, fetal osmoregulatory, metabolic, and steroidogenic roles, which appear to protect the uterine contents during late pregnancy and prepare the fetus for the changes in nutrition at the time of delivery.
