(2001)1. Microneurography was used to search for primary afferents responsive to innocuous low temperature in human nerves supplying the hairy skin of the hand or foot. Eighteen units were identified as cold-specific units: they ...
-
(Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz, 2002)Mepraia spinolai is a silvatic species of Triatominae which prefers microhabitats near to or in rock piles. It is also able to maintain similar or higher size populations near houses. The density of bugs in quarries near ...
-
(2002)The physiological activation of T cells to proliferation and cytokine production requires at least two signals. Occupancy of the T cell receptor by antigen/MHC complexes delivers the first signal to T cell, while the second ...
-
(2002)The spatial variability of primary production (PP), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and the photosynthetic parameters were studied off Antofagasta, Chile (23-24° S, 70-72° W) during austral summer and winter. Between cruises (January ...
-
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2002)Archeological evidence suggest that the cultural developments occurred in the highlands around lake Titicaca in the Central Andes, exerted influence on the cultural elaborations of the human groups that peopled the valley ...
-
(2002)Unlike fetal animals of lowland species, the llama fetus does not increase its cerebral blood flow during an episode of acute hypoxaemia. This study tested the hypothesis that the fetal llama brain maintains cerebral ...
-
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2002)We present an analysis of time and energy allocation in a day-active caviomorph rodent, the degu, Octodon degus, in central Chile. We quantified components of surface activity in the field on a daily basis in individual ...
-
(2002)Triads and transverse tubules isolated from mammalian skeletal muscle actively accumulated Na+ in the presence of K+ and Mg-ATP. Active Na+ transport exhibited a fast single-exponential phase, lasting 2 min, followed by ...
-
(2001)This study evaluated local protein synthesis in subcellular fractions of pinched-off dendrites (synaptodendrosomes) from different brain regions and at different developmental ages. Synaptodendrosomes were labeled with ...
-
(W.B. Saunders Ltd, 2002)Non-selective cation channels have been identified in the plasma membranes of many different cells. Previous research using fluorescent techniques has demonstrated the presence of cation conductances in membranes from human ...
-
(2002)Centromere protein E (CENP-E) is a microtubule motor protein localised in the outer kinetochore plate and in the fibrous corona that relocalises to the midzone in early anaphase. While its expression in somatic cells has ...
-
(2002)The management of severe hypertension in the emergency setting demands a careful evaluation of the different underlying clinical situations, and of the impending risk for the life of the patient or of acute organ damage. ...
-
(Society of Biology of Chile, 2002)In this study, we showed the effect of the betamethasone, sulindac and quinacrine alone or combined, on the inflammatory angiogenesis promoted by polyurethane sponge on mice. The main finding reported here is that the ...
-
(Academic Press, 2002)Under predation risk, prey may prioritize antipredator behaviours and sacrifice feeding. However, energetically constrained animals may choose to sacrifice or change antipredator responses and accept relatively greater ...
-
(2002)Reactive oxygen species are now widely recognized as important players contributing both to cell homeostasis and the development of disease. In this respect nitric oxide (NO) is no exception. The discussion here will center ...
-
(Academic Press Inc., 2002)We have established hippocampal cell lines from normal and trisomy 16 fetal mice, a model of human trisomy 21. Both cell lines, named H1b (derived from a normal animal) and HTk (trisomic) possess neuronal markers by ...
-
(Society of Biology of Chile, 2002)Caveolae are small, flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane present on a large number of mammalian cells. Recent results obtained with knock-out mice for the gene caveolin-1 demonstrate that expression of caveolin-1 ...
-
(Society of Biology of Chile, 2002)Echinococcus granulosus is a parasitic platyhelminth that is responsible for cystic hydatid disease. From the inner, germinal layer of hydatid cysts protoscoleces are generated, which are are the infective forms to the ...
-
(2002)We studied the departure from the physical optimality of the bronchial tree of rats using both i) the minimum volume and power and ii) the minimum surface and drag criteria, considering the bronchial junction as the unit ...
-
(Elsevier Ltd, 2002)Members of the Wnt family have been implicated in a variety of developmental processes including axis formation, patterning of the central nervous system and tissue morphogenesis. Recent studies have shown that a Wnt ...
