Cytotoxicity of new cytochalasans fromChaetomium globosum

Zusammenfassung Nachweis, dass CHCl₃-Rohextrakte aus Myzelien und Filtraten der Zuchtmedien vonChaetomium globosum Kunze ex Fries einen akuten toxischen Effect auf HeLa-Zellen in vitro, sowie auf Mäuse zeigten. Chaetoglobosine die aus Mycelium-Rohextrakt isoliert wurden und chemisch zu den Cytochalasanen gehören, induzierten in HeLa-Zellen eine Polynukleierung und multipolare Kernverteilung. Auch beim Chaetogobosin wird eine Mikrofilament-Schädigung angenommen.     

Reduction of efferent renal nerve activity by propranolol in rabbits]

During intravenous infusion of propranolol (0.3--0.8 mg/kg) in the Rabbit, systolic arterial pressure is decreased (-6.5 +/- 4.2 mmHg) and electrical activity recorded from central end of the renal nerve is reduced significantly (-8.7 +/- 14.-%) with regard to the activity obtained, at the same pressure levels, by hemorrhage (+7.9 +/- 6.4%; p less than 0.25) or by intravenous infusion of the peripheral vasodilator sodium nitroprusside (+14.1 +/- 9.9%; p less than 0.01).     

Villus growth and cell replacement in the small intestine of the neonatal pig

Summary Cells produced in the crypts of newborn pig ileum migrate onto villi during development. There is little or no corresponding loss of cells from villus tips during the first week of postnatal life. Villus growth during this period is largely responsible for the slow rate of cellular renewal seen to take place.     

Immunochemical identification of vitellogenin in the serum of the newtTriturus cristatus

Summary The hematic yolk precursor — vitellogenin — has been identified immunochemically in the serum of estrogenized females of the newtTriturus cristatus by employing an antiserum prepared against yolk proteins.
