Piscine
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to a fish or fishes; as, piscine remains.
Example Sentences:
(1) In this manner, the first terminal structures of three non-mammalian alcohol dehydrogenases were determined, demonstrating the presence of N-terminal acetylation in these piscine, amphibian, and avian enzymes.
(2) The minced testis androgen production assay was highly sensitive to gonadotropins from several piscine species (silver carp, common carp, and salmon), and all these GTHs produced parallel dose-related androgen production curves.
(3) These results strongly suggest that the piscine retinol-binding protein is a prototype of the specific vitamin A-transporting protein in plasma of the vertebrates, being modified later in evolution, during phylogenetic development of the vertebrates, to acquire a binding site for prealbumin on the molecule.
(4) The replication of three rhabdoviruses associated with diseases of fish has been demonstrated in cells of continuously cultivated non-piscine cell lines.
(5) Studies were conducted to explore vitamin A transport in the non-mammalian vertebrates, especially Pisces, Amphibia, and Reptilia, and to isolate and partially characterize piscine retinol-binding protein.
(6) Piscine retinol-binding protein was isolated from pooled plasma of young yellowtails and was converted (1000-fold purification) to a homogeneous component by a procedural sequence that included gel filtration on Sephadex G-100, chromatography on SP-Sephadex, gel isoelectric focusing, and, finally, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
(7) Mammalian GTHs were also capable of promoting androgen formation by carp testis, but they were much less potent than were piscine GTHs.
(8) Early interactions between vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and susceptible cells were examined in cell lines of mammalian (HeLa), bird (CER), piscine (EPC) and arthropod (Aedes albopictus) origin showing different permissiveness to VSV growth.
(9) The experience a clinician gains through seeing many animals of many species will be as useful with piscine patients as with other animals.
(10) The adenohypophysial cell types in three species of sciaenid teleosts were identified using a combination of classical histochemical techniques and immunocytochemistry with antisera raised against piscine and human pituitary hormones.
(11) It is suggested that the NPY-related peptide present in the pancreas of elasmobranch and teleost fish represents the piscine equivalent of mammalian peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY).
(12) The class I activity is present already in the piscine line, whereas the overall structural-type enzyme is not observed until amphibians and still more recent vertebrates.
(13) Habré was said to have an underground prison known as La Piscine where people were tortured.
(14) These results show that trout hearts contain an ANF-like material and that mammalian and piscine ANF produce hemodynamic and renal effects upon intra-arterial injection.
(15) Nongenetic reactivation could only be accomplished between the three amphibian viruses but not with the piscine virus.
(16) The putative beta-actin proximal promoter of carp, identified by the conservation of known actin regulatory sequences, is transcriptionally active in both mammalian and piscine cells.
(17) In competitive binding studies, binding of radiolabelled scG was effectively inhibited by piscine gonadotrophins while LH and hCG had less effect and FSH showed no inhibition.
(18) AcChRs from Torpedo and Electrophorus electric organ and from piscine, avian, and mammalian muscle have been shown to be highly conserved proteins composed of four types of homologous subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) which associate in a stoichiometry alpha 2 beta 1 gamma 1 delta 1 to form a pseudosymmetric pentameric complex molecule.
(19) A biochemical and morphological investigation of the mechanism of entry of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) into host cells of mammalian (HeLa), avian (CER), piscine (EPC) and arthropod (Aedes albopictus) origin, is described.
(20) The exposed hydrophobic and polarizable methionine cluster on the protein surface may have a bearing on the crystallin stability and dense packing in the piscine species, and probably also provides a malleable nonpolar surface for the interaction with other crystallin components for the maintenance of a clear and transparent lens.
