In most species the length of a pregnancy exceeds that of the luteal phase of the ovarian
cycle. The conceptus within the uterus, therefore, is believed to produce a substance or …

THE fibrinolytic potential of the vasculature is modulated primarily by the availability and activity
of plasminogen activators, which convert the zymogen plasminogen into the active fibrin-…

Bovine trophoblast protein-1 (bTP-1) is a secreted glycoprotein that consists of several forms
differing slightly in mol wt and isoelectric point. It is produced by bovine conceptuses after …

To assess the effects of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) on the primate lipoprotein
profile, a transgenic mouse expressing cynomolgus monkey CETP was developed. The …

The neuromodulatory gene DISC1 is disrupted by at(1;11) translocation that is highly
penetrant for schizophrenia and affective disorders, but how this translocation affects DISC1 …

Cannabinoid receptor CB1 is expressed abundantly in the brain and presumably in the
peripheral tissues responsible for energy metabolism. It is unclear if the antiobesity effects of …

Numerous assays have been developed to investigate the interactions between G-protein–coupled
receptors (GPCRs) and their ligands since GPCRs are key therapeutic targets. …

Female cynomolgus monkeys have significantly higher plasma apo AI concentrations than
males (P = 0.04) and are able to maintain higher levels than the males even after consuming …

Beginning with DNA microinjection, this chapter reviews techniques and instrumentation
associated with transgenic animal production, animal husbandry, and related equipment and …

… The dynamic overhead telerobotic simulator can dynamically position up to 500 kilograms
of sensors and flight hardware (H/W) with 1 centimeter accuracy for real-time simulation of …
