Tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans produces ultrasound related to behavior.

The spectrum of the sounds produced by the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans extends to above 80 kHz and the energy distribution between 20 and 70 kHz is related to behavior.     

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in T-lymphocyte deficient rats.

Thymectomized, lethally irradiated rats reconstituted with syngeneic bone marrow were injected with rat brain in complete Freund adjuvant mixture. Both, they and sham-thymectomized, irradiated and bone marrow protected rats displayed a higher incidence of leg paralysis than normal non-irradiated animals. Thymectomy lowered the incidence of the disease.     

Carotid chemoreceptor influence on the cardiac sympathetic nerve discharge.

Pure stimulation of carotid chemoreceptors induces, as a primary effect, the general spontaneous activation of both the cardioexcitatory and the cardioinhibitory medullary centres. These effects have been shown by keeping constant those parameters which, when modified, produced secondary effects hiding the investigated primary ones.     

Investigations on the turnover of adrenocortical mitochnodria. VII. Effects of ACTH on the half-life of mitochondria from the zona reticularis of the rat adrenal cortex.

The half-life of mitochondria from the zona reticularis of the rat adrenal was calculated by determining the radioactivity decay curves of the mitochondrial compartment of 3H-thymidine-injected animals, using autoradiographic methods. ACTH was found to enchance significantly the half-life of the organelles.
