Body mass variation in Marbled Murrelets in British Columbia, Canada
Body mass was measured in Marbled Murrelets Brachyramphus marmoratus from May to August, 1994–1998 at Desolation Sound, and during June and July 1997 at Mussel Inlet, British Columbia, Canada, to assess seasonal, sexual, site and intra-annual variation. Birds were captured by mist-net, and by night-lighting, and were sexed using molecular techniques. The breeding status of females (gravid or no...
متن کاملNADPH-diaphorase in the cat carotid body.
INTRODUCTION AND METHODS. Nitric oxide (NO) has recently emerged as a major modulator of carotid body (CB) chemoreception. This is evidenced by functional and morphological studies. Chemosensory activity is inhibited by NO agonists and disinhibited by antagonists in both in situ and in vitro preparations (1, 2). At the light microscopic level, the NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d)/nitric oxide synthas...
متن کاملNatural variation in gestational cortisol is associated with patterns of growth in marmoset monkeys (Callithrix geoffroyi).
High levels of prenatal cortisol have been previously reported to retard fetal growth. Although cortisol plays a pivotal role in prenatal maturation, heightened exposure to cortisol can result in lower body weights at birth, which have been shown to be associated with adult diseases like hypertension and cardiovascular disease. This study examines the relationship between natural variation in g...

متن کاملThe Relationship between Skinfold Thickness and Body Mass Index in Estimating Body Fat Percentage on Bowen University Students
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a weight-to-height ratio used as a quick and easy guide to obesity classification. BMI of 30 or greater is indicative of excess body fat and has been labelled as increasing the risk of degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Body fat percentage is also assessed through skinfold thickness measurement.. The aim of this study was to estimate the ...
