poa/phosphatase

The main polymorphic form of acid phosphatase was isolated from Poa pratensis seeds by chromatography on DEAE- and CM-cellulose and gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-100. The enzyme migrated as a single band in disc electrophoresis at pH 4.5 and 8.4. The purified enzyme is a glycoprotein of molecular

Activation of beta-adrenoceptors in the hypothalamus (HYP) and preoptic area (POA) inhibits both gonadotropin release and reproductive behaviour in female rats. Exposure of female rats for 48 h to physiologically relevant doses of oestrogen attenuates beta-adrenoceptor function in the HYP and POA as

Paraplegics whose range of motion is limited by para-osteo-arthropathy (POA) may have difficulty in becoming independent unless the heterotopic bone mass is removed. The recurrence rate is high if the bony mass is not mature at the time of surgery. Radiography and alkaline phosphatase correlations

BACKGROUND Alcohol (ALC) diminishes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion and delays puberty. Glial transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) plays a role in glial-neuronal communications facilitating prepubertal GnRH secretion. We assessed the effects of acute ALC administration on

Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) in utero has been shown to induce alterations in the prostate of 30-d-old Wistar rats. Herein, we examine both the time course of BPA action on the rat prostate and the effects of BPA on the male hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This was achieved by exposing rats to

Two-thirds of patients with Paget's disease seeking medical attention present with pain. We studied patterns of pagetic pain in relation to physical activity, and the effect of coexistent osteoarthritis (OA)/pagetic arthropathy on pain and physical activity before and after treatment with

Long-term livestock grazing (here after 'grazing') affects carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in grassland ecosystems, in part by altering the quantity and quality of litter inputs. Despite their spatial extent and size of carbon and nutrient stocks, the effect of grazing on grassland biogeochemical
