The effects of ethanol on embryonic actin: A possible role in teratogenesis

Summary When the neural crest is cultured in the long or short term presence of ethanol, monoclonal anti-actin reveals the development of a disorganized actin cytoskeleton. In the long term, many cells fail to differentiate morphologically, whereas in the short term already differentiated cells rapidly alter their shape and their cell-to-cell contacts.     

In vitro lysis of erythrocytes and chromaffine granules by prenylamine

Zusammenfassung In der Oberflächenaktivität des Prenylamins, bedingt durch den lipophilen Diphenylpropylanteil des Moleküls, wird die Ursache dafür erblickt, dass hohe Konzentrationen zur Freisetzung von Brenzcatechinaminen aus chromaffinen Granula sowie von Hämoglobin aus Erythrocyten führen. Elektronenmikroskopische Aufnahmen zeigten schwere Membranschädigungen der mit Prenylamin inkubierten Granula. Prenylamin hemmte bzw. verhinderte die Hämolyse der in hypotonischer Salzlösung suspendierten Erythrozyten. Ein gemeinsamer Mechanismus, der sowohl die granulolytische und hämolytische als auch die protektive Wirkung auf Granula- und Erythrozytenmembran erklären könnte, wird diskutiert.

Distribution and relative abundance of fish in Ruth Reservoir, California, in relation to environmental variables

The fish population of Ruth Reservoir, California, was sampled every two weeks with variable mesh gill nets from May 1974 through May 1975. Fish were captured in the following order of numerical abundance: Humboldt sucker ( Catostomus humboldtianus ), golden shiner ( Notemigonus crysoleucus ), brown bullhead ( Ictalurus nebulosus ), white catfish ( I. catus ), rainbow trout ( Salmo gairdneri ), and largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ). The three most abundant species made up about 95 percent of total numbers and weight. All species exhibited a similar cyclic temporal availability pattern: catch rates increased to a maximum during summer and fall and decreased during winter and spring. Environmental variables with the most pronounced relationships to fish catches were temperature (direct) and turbidity (inverse).
