Activation of the tyrosine kinase of the c-src gene product, pp60c-src, has been shown to occur in nearly every primary colorectal carcinoma, and is found as early as in polyps of high malignant potential. However, no studies have addressed potential pp60c-src changes which occur during progression. To examine this question, we have studied kinase activity and protein levels in 7 colonic polyps...

Motility parameters of the spermatozoa in most fish species spawning in fresh water like Rutilus kutum lasts for a short time after activation. Ovarian fluid significantly influenced sperm motility (motility duration period) and percent motility (progressive forward motile sperm). Both of these variables generally increased as the concentration of ovarian fluid increased from 33% to 50%, respec...
