The effect of phenobarbital on bilirubin excretion was studied in rats with different capacities for bilirubin conjugation. Drug treatment induced substantial increases in bilirubin UDP-glucuronyl transferase activity in the liver of both normal and heterozygous Gunn rats, but not homozygous Gunn rats in which enzyme activity is completely absent. However, enhancement of bilirubin excretion in ...

The article focuses on two parafictional figures created by Israeli artists at about the same time in early 2000s: Oreet Ashery’s Marcus Fisher and Roee Rosen’s Justine Frank. Through a close reading of these case studies, I examine phenomenon characters as extreme cases voice appropriation. Against background rising international concern with cultural appropriation, sociopolitical context char...

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is induced in the vasculature in the DOCA-salt model of hypertension in rats. Whereas the HO system and its products may exert vasodilator effects, recent studies have suggested that the HO system may predispose to hypertension. The present study examined the effects of selected components of the HO system, specifically, the HO-1 isozyme and the product bilirubin in the ...

We have previously suggested that the decrease in the levels of serum total thyroxine (T(4)) and free T(4) by a single administration to rats of Kanechlor-500 (KC500) at a dose of 100 mg/kg is not necessarily dependent on the increase in hepatic T(4)-UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-GT). In the present study, we determined whether or not a consecutive treatment with KC500 at a relatively low do...

This paper describes 21 ctenostomatous bryozoans from the state of São Paulo, Brazil, based on specimens observed in vivo. A new family, Jebramellidae n. fam., is erected for a newly described genus and species, Jebramella angusta n. gen. et sp. Eleven other species are described as new: Alcyonidium exiguum n. sp., Alcyonidium pulvinatum n. sp., Alcyonidium torquatum n. sp., Alcyonidium vitreum...

ARIAS, IRWIN M., LOIS JOHNSON, AND SONIA WOLFSON. Biliary excretion of injected conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin by normal and Gunn rats. Am. J. Physiol. 200(5) : I 091-1094. I 961. -Conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin were injected intravenously at different times into normal rats and homozygous, jaundiced Gunn rats. As was expected, Gunn rats did not excrete injected unconjugated bilir...

In the pioneering work by R. A. Marcus, solvation effect on electron transfer (ET) processes was investigated, giving rise to celebrated nonadiabatic ET rate formula. this work, basis of thermodynamic potentials analysis, we reexamine Marcus' formula with respect Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) theory. Interestingly, obtained RRKM analogue, which recovers original that is in a linear scena...

Formal methods are broadly concerned with applying mathematically rigorous methods in all stages of development of computer-based systems (hardware or software), from specification to design, to implementation and subsequent maintenance. The goal of formal verification is to expose as many errors as possible, while checking whether, or proving that the implementation conforms to the specificati...

In a recent note, Marcus (1995) suggests that the rate of overregularization of English irregular plural nouns is not substantively different from that of English irregular past tense verbs. This finding is claimed to be in conflict with the predictions of connectionist models (Plunkett & Marchman, 1991, 1993) which are said to depend solely on the dominance of regular over irregular forms in d...
