(1) Specificity studies suggest that the stingray insulin receptor may represent a phylogenetic position prior to the evolutionary divergence of insulin and the insulin-like growth factors.
(2) The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has been described as the poor man’s Porsche.
(3) Based on the experiments described above, the hypothesis that the hyperpolarizing response of horizontal cells is due to the permeability change of the membrane to chloride ion was excluded in the stingray retina.
(4) The cytoarchitecture of the lymphohaemopoietic masses occurring in the "meninx primitiva" of the stingray Dasyatis akajei (Elasmobranchii, Chondricthyes) has been analyzed by light and scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
(5) Thus, the HG of the red stingray exhibited a striking left-right asymmetry, the most remarkable aspect of which was considered to be differences of the size, form and location of the LH between the left and right HG.
(6) When the US government is not loaning police agencies their own Stingrays, the Defense Department and Homeland Security are giving federal grants to cops, which allow departments to purchase the gear at the cost of $400,000 a pop from defense contractors like Harris Corporation, which makes the Stingray brand.
(7) The cerebellar corpus of the Atlantic stingray consists of an anterior lobe which is divided into rostral and caudal lobules, and a posterior lobe.
(8) Thus, the afferent fibers to the HG in the red stingray exhibited a striking left-right asymmetry.
(9) An unusual case report of a retained stingray spine foreign body in the foot is presented.
(10) The sizes and numbers of axons in peripheral nerves and spinal roots were investigated in the stingray, Dasyatis sabina.
(11) Two new tetraphyllidean cestodes are described from the freshwater stingray Potamotrygon magdalenae from Colombia.
(12) Guests paddle through the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, exploring mangrove channels and reefs, watching out for stingrays, manatees and pelicans.
(13) A combined light and electron microscopic study revealed that there are conspicuous aggregations of smooth muscle cells in several hemopoietic organs and tissues such as in the Leydig (esophageal) and epigonal organs, diencephalic choroid plexus and perihypophyseal connective tissue sheath of the stingray, Dasyatis akajei.
(14) Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cross-linked, affinity-labeled stingray insulin receptor shows an apparent molecular mass of 210 kDa for the intact receptor.
(15) Hypocalcemic potency of calcitonin isolated from the stingray (cartilaginous fish), Dasyatis akajei, was examined using the rat bioassay and compared with the activities of other calcitonins (human, pig, salmon, eel, and fowl).
(16) Glutamine synthetase is present as isozymic forms in the elasmobranchs Squalus acanthias (dogfish shark) and Dasyatis sabina (stingray).
(17) Like Stingrays, and the NSA's phone dragnet before them, the militarization of America's local cops is a phenomenon that's only now getting widespread attention.
(18) Three other cases of less serious stingray envenomation are described which illustrate the significant localized morbidity that may occur without immediate wound exploration and toilet after adequate anaesthesia.
(19) The Cl conductance of the resting membrane in the normal stingray saline at pH 7.7 is 8-10 times greater than the K conductance.3.
(20) Intracellular and extracellular concentrations of chloride ([Cl-]i, [Cl-]o) ions in the horizontal cells of the stingray retina were studied by means of ion-selective microelectrodes.
