Brain Activity in Rats Exposed to Short-Term External Electrical Fields

Description: The effects of external electric fields (EEF) on brain activity in anesthetized rats were studied. The field strengths used, 9 kV/m and 5 kV/m, both D.C. and A.C. (60Hz) were in the range of those measured beneath current overhead transmission lines. Brain activity was monitored from surface electrodes and from electrodes stereotaxically implanted in the posterior-lateral portion of the hypothalamus. It was found that 9 kV/m and 5 kV/m EEF's both D.C. and A.C. brought about statistically signif… more

Environmental Correlates to Genetic Variation in the Coral Reef Fish, Thalassoma bifasciatum

Description: Genetic variation was examined in bluehead wrasse, Thalassoma bifasciatum, populations along the Florida Keys. Interpretion of mean heterozygosity (H), percent polymorphic loci per population (P), genetic similarity, and F and G statistics demonstrated a clear division of wrasse populations into "northern" and "southern" groups. Correlation and cluster analyses indicated the six reefs can be grouped in a similar fashion based on genetic and environmental data. The conclusion from this analysis … more

The Phospholipase B Response in Mice Infected With Fasciola Hepatica and Histochemical Demonstration of the Enzyme Source

Description: The phospholipase B activity was assayed in the small intestines, spleen and liver/bile duct of nonsensitized and sensitized mice infected with Fasciola hepatica. The primary infection resulted in a significant increase in phospholipase B activity in the small intestine, spleen and liver/bile duct over that of uninfected control animals. The response to the challenge infection was characterized by an earlier increase in enzyme activity with values significantly above those found for the primary… more
