Innate fear responses to tonic immobility (TI) and open field (OF) were evaluated in newly hatched chicks of three breeds with distinct breed origin and genetic relationships. The breeds studied were Nagoya (NAG), a native Japanese breed; White Leghorn (WL), a representative of layers; and White
Duration of tonic immobility, recognized as a criterion of fearfulness, was greater for hens kept in 17-bird cages than for hens kept in floor pens, single bird cages, and 5-bird cages.
A 6-year old Turkish boy with a recently defined entity: "leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter" is described. He was born to consanguinous parents. His psychomotor development was normal till he first presented with fever and generalized tonic-clonic seizures at the age of 2.5, followed
The aim of the present study was to gain insight into the signaling pathway used by leptin to stimulate lipolysis. The lipolytic rate of white adipocytes from sex- and age-matched lean (+/+) and fa/fa rats was determined in the absence or presence of leptin together with a number of agents acting at
Fearfulness was measured as latency to recover from induced tonic immobility using White Leghorn hens from a population originated by crossing three different strains selected for egg number and egg weight. Realized heritability was calculated in a single generation selection experiment with eight
Sympathetic stimulation has long been recognized to mobilise fatty acids from white adipose tissue. However, it is now apparent that adipose tissue is not only concerned with energy storage as fat, but is a major endocrine and secretory organ. This change has resulted from the identification of
In this paper, several clinical problems associated with the diagnosis of hypertension are discussed. Blood pressure variability and reactivity are factors underlying the difficulties in the diagnosis of hypertension. These phenomena are interrelated and mixed. White coat hypertension (WCH),
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a common type of idiopathic generalized epilepsy that is characterized by myoclonic jerks of the upper limbs and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Frontal cognitive dysfunctions and abnormal coupling of the thalamocortical system have been found in
Chlorophytum borivilianum Santapau & Fernandes (Liliaceae) also known as 'Safed Musli' is a traditional rare Indian medicinal herb which has many therapeutic applications in Ayurvedic, Unani, Homeopathic and Allopathic system of medicine. Its roots (tubers) are widely used for various therapeutic
Tonic immobility (TI) was induced in about 70% of While Leghorn hens caught and immediately restrained in the dorsal position for a single 15 sec period. Temporary confinement of hens housed in floor pens in single-bird cages prior to restraint reduced initial induction of TI to 46%. Eye closure
OBJECTIVE
By definition idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is not associated with structural abnormalities on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, recent quantitative studies suggest white and gray matter alterations in IGE. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether
Neuropeptides in the motor nerves innervating the red and white muscles of the goldfish Carassius auratus were examined. In the tonic red muscles, varicose nerve endings immunoreactive for both calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P were found spread over the surface of the muscle fibers,
Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and levels of circulating inflammatory markers are associated with future CVD risk. However, the physiological mechanisms that control systemic levels of circulating inflammatory markers are not well
Previous work has shown that exposing broiler eggs to white light during incubation can improve hatchability and post-hatch animal welfare. It was hypothesized that due to how different wavelengths of light can affect avian physiology differently, and how pigmented eggshells filter light that
A Japanese boy developed febrile seizures and gait disturbance at 2 years of age and dysarthria a year later. He had generalized tonic-clonic seizures once or twice a year from the age of 4 years. Brain computed tomography (CT) showed symmetric low-density areas in the white matter of the frontal
