The overall theme of the current section is an evaluation of gender differences in physiology. Cognizant of the broad scope of the topic, we will limit this to muscle physiology and whole body energy and macronutrient metabolism. Given the massive increase in strain placed upon a physiological system in response to physical exercise, the articles will focus mostly on exercise as a major theme t...

The genus Microbacterium was proposed by Orla-Jensen in 1919. Four species were described, viz., Microbacterium lacticum, Microbacterium flavum, Microbacterium liquefaciens, and Microbacterium mesentericum. The organisms of this genus presented a physiological gradient with the saccharolytic acid former (M. lacticum) at one extreme and the proteolytic gelatin liquefier (M. liquefaciens) at the ...

the aim of this study was to investigate anthropometric and physiological characteristics in junior volleyball players for talent identification according to their volleyball playing positions. 15 junior national volleyball players (mean age 17.7±0.3 years) participated in this study. players were classified to five groups according to their playing positions: setters, liberoes, middle blockers...

OBJECTIVES To study the clinical and pathophysiological features of central pain due to damage to the CNS. METHODS 156 patients (mostly with ischaemic strokes, some with infarct after subarachnoid haemorrhage and other cerebral conditions; one with bulbar and others with spinal pathology) with central pain have been investigated clinically and varying numbers instrumentally with respect to qu...

The properties of ghosts prepared by hypotonic hemolysis at various ratios of cells (C) to hemolyzing solution (H) have been studied. At all ratios, hemoglobin (I-l-b) was found to be distributed equally between the ghost and supernatant compartments. Techniques employing FeSg-labelled Hb showed that during hemolysis all of the Hb is exchangeable and that following hemolysis the ghost is imperm...

Na SO induced regulation of some key morpho-physiological characteristics in Sorghum were 2 4 examined to investigate the effect of Na SO on germination and morphology of Sorghum that was conducted 2 4 at Botany Department University of Gujrat. The variety used in this experiment was SSG-77. Plants were subjected for 30 days to sand culture that were salinized with four salt levels [T (control)...

The physiological characteristics of 10 male elite sport parachutists (31.6 +/- 3.69 years of age) were determined and compared to 10 male non-sport parachutist controls (30.2 +/- 4.31 years) and other selected elite athletes. The typical sport parachutist was a highly educated (16.4 +/- 2.41 years), first born (9 out of 10), and, more often than not, single individual. During their mean 10.8 y...

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of CCK-producing cells and mucus-secreting goblet cells with respect to stomach fish and stomachless fish of the Gobiidae in order to provide a basis for understanding the digestive physiology. Hairychin goby (Sagamia geneionema), which is stomachless fish, the numbers of mucus-secreting goblet cells is highest in the posterior intestine portio...

Antibodies against the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan NG2 label a subpopulation of glial cells within the CNS, which have a small cell body and thin radiating processes. Physiological recordings from these small cells in acute brain slices have revealed that they possess unique properties, suggesting that they may comprise a class of glial cells distinct from astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, or ...
