Elektronenmikroskopischer Vergleich menschlicher Iriskapillaren bei Glaucoma simplex und bei Katarakt

Résumé Dans les cellules endothéliales de capillaires iridiens de glaucomateux, on a constaté une diminution du volume des mitochondries, des vésicules micropinocytotiques et du nombre des ribosomes libres ainsi qu'un amincissement de la membrane basale. En revanche, ces cellules sont riches en corpuscules tubulaires «rod-shaped tubular bodies» deWeibel etPalade.     

The arrangement of sarcoplasmic reticulum in smooth muscle

Riassunto Nella muscolatura liscia di vari visceri e vasi viene osservato un notevole sviluppo del reticolo endoplasmatico. Esso è costituito da cisterne direttamente sottostanti la membrana plasmatica e le caveolae intracellulares.

Einfluss des luftelektrischen Feldes auf das Haut-Potential vonRana esculenta

Summary The potential across the skin ofRana esculenta was remarkably reduced under Faraday conditions in comparison to animals kept under normal conditions. A pulsating electric field (10 Hz) practically abolished this effect.     

Chromosomal heteromorphism and female heterogamety in the marbled newtTriturus marmoratus (Latreille, 1800)

Riassunto Il bivalente lampbrush I diTriturus marmoratus è costituito da 2 cromosomi partner di diversa lunghezza a presenta loops eteromorfi lungo una regione sempre sprovvista di chiasmi. Si può quindi ritenere che tale bivalente sia costituito dagli eterocromosomi Z e W.

Influence of dormancy on the chemical composition ofStrophocheilus (Strophocheilidae,Pulmonata, Mollusca)

Résumé Pendant l'hibernation, leStrophocheilus (Pulmoné, Mollusque) perd de l'eau, du sodium, du calciun, du magnésium, du soufre, du cuivre, du fer et des carbohydrates totaux, mais son taux de potassium et d'iode augmente. En état d'estivation, il y en a perte d'eau, de sodium, de magnésium, de cuivre, de fer et de carbohydrates totaux, mais accumulation de calcium.     

The chick ovomucoid gene contains at least six intervening sequences.

A 15-kilobase pair EcoRI chick DNA fragment, containing both the termination codon UGA and the 5'-portion of the structural ovomucoid gene, has been cloned in lambda phage Charon 4A by in vitro packaging. Restriction mapping and electron microscopic analyses of this cloned DNA have revealed that the structural ovomucoid gene sequences are separated by at least six intervening sequences.     

Multiple lactate dehydrogenase alleles in the LizardAgama stellio

Zusammenfassung Es wurde das gehäufte, geographisch begrenzte Auftreten multipler Allele für LDH-H, das bei den bisher untersuchten Organismen nur selten Varianten zeigt, nachgewiesen. Ebenso gelang die Identifizierung von elektrophoretischen Varianten in Abhängigkeit vom pH.
