BECKER, Tracy A; RODNICK, Kenneth J*; Idaho state univ: Evidence that hypoxia stimulates lactate efflux but not glucose transport in cardiac tissue of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Glucose transport is the first step of glucose metabolism. Although hypoxia is a potent stimulus of glucose transport in mammalian cardiac and skeletal muscle, little is known about […]

SMITH, K.J.*; LEE, R.E.; Miami University: Entry into diapause enhances the cold tolerance of specific tissues in the flesh fly Sarcophaga crassipalpis (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) A primary adaptation for winter survival in insects is a programmed entry into an arrested developmental state known as diapause. Depending on the species, diapause occurs at different times, in different […]

PARKER, M/E*; ADAMS, N/L; California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo; California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo: Effects of ultraviolet radiation on Cdc2 in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus embryos Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has many adverse effects on cells, including delaying or inhibiting cell division. We tested whether UV radiation affects phosphorylation/activity Cdc2, a cyclin dependent kinase, […]

PALENSKE, N.M.*; DZIALOWSKI, E.M.; University of North Texas; University of North Texas: Effects of the Environmental Contaminant Triclosan on the Physiology of Developing Xenopus laevis Tadpoles Amphibians lay eggs and develop in an aquatic habitat making their development and metamorphosis susceptible to environmental contaminants. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of […]

EARLE, Kristen A.*; ROMERO, L. Michael; Tufts University; Tufts University: Effects of chronic stress on the cell-mediated immune response in European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) Both chronic stress and heightened levels of the stress hormone corticosterone have been shown to suppress the cell-mediated immune response. In this study 8 European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) were stressed for […]
