Importance Of Calcium, Beri̇van Tandoğan, N. Nuray Ulusu Jan 2005

Importance Of Calcium, Beri̇van Tandoğan, N. Nuray Ulusu

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. Calcium regulates many cellular processes and has important structural roles in living organisms. Skeletal muscle structure and function, polymerisation of fibrin and the conduction of impulses in the nervous system are regulated by calcium. Calcium is an important intracellular messenger in protozoa, plants, and animals. Calcium-transporting systems which are located in the plasma membrane and in the organelles, regulate the ionic concentration of calcium in various compartments according to the different demands of the physiological cycle and these systems upregulate calcium entry by the action of several hormones and calcium binding …

A New Diagnostic System In Cancer Research: Bioluminescent Imaging (Bli), Z. Günnur Di̇kmen, Ginelle Gellert, Paki̇ze Doğan, Ralph Mason, Peter Antich, Edmond Richer, Woodring E. Wright, Jerry W. Shay

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Bioluminescent imaging (BLI) is particularly well suited for imaging small animals, and it can be readily used by scientists who are already routinely using the luciferase gene as a reporter in cell-based assays. This strategy relies on ATP and an O_2 dependent photochemical reaction between luciferin and luciferase, resulting in the release of photons from only live cells. In BLI, the intensity of the light detected by the device is proportional to the intensity of light emitted and the relationship is quantitative. This study was performed to determine the sensitivity of BLI for the imaging of lung metastasis and breast …

Investigation Of Seasonal Sex Changes And Young Activities In Wolf And Ground Spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae, Gnaphosidae), Muhammed İsmai̇l Varol, Faruk Kutbay

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Seasonal activities of wolf spiders (Lycosidae) and ground spiders (Gnaphosidae) were studied in a meadow in Van between 30.11.1993 and 27.11.1994. Nineteen species belonging to 4 genera in Lycosidae and 11 species belonging to 6 genera in Gnaphosidae were identified by using pitfall traps. It was observed that male and female lycosids were active from February to July, subadult lycosids were active from May to July, female gnaphosids were active from March to October, male gnaphosids were active from February to October and subadult gnaphosids were active from February to November. In Lycosidae, adults comprised 31% of the population, the …


Morphometric, Karyotypic And Electrophoretic Analysis Of The Genus Apodemus Kaup, 1826 (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Thrace, Reyhan Çolak, Ercüment Çolak, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t Jan 2005

Morphometric, Karyotypic And Electrophoretic Analysis Of The Genus Apodemus Kaup, 1826 (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Thrace, Reyhan Çolak, Ercüment Çolak, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Thirty-two specimens of Apodemus in Thrace were evaluated. Ten specimens of A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus were karyotyped. Eighteen specimens were electrophoresed to determine patterns of the esterase enzyme system. Morphometric analysis showed that A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus were the closest species in a comparison between A. agrarius. A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus with the same karyotypic values of 2n = 48, Nfa = 46, and NF = 48. Patterns of the esterase enzyme system clearly separated A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus and A. agrarius.

A Study On Mus Domesticus Rutty, 1772 And Mus Macedonicus Petrov And Ruzíc, 1983 (Mammalia: Rodentia) Distributed Along The Line Of Ankara, Bolu And Zonguldak, Bülent Gözceli̇oğlu, Reyhan Çolak, Ercüment Çolak, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t

Turkish Journal of Zoology

A total of 105 specimens of the genus Mus collected from Ankara, Bartın, Bolu, Düzce and Zonguldak in Turkey were biometrically evaluated. The isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme system along with karyotypes of 37 specimens were analysed. The zygomatic index and the index of head plus body length/tail length were diagnostic characters for Mus domesticus and Mus macedonicus. Starch gel electrophoresis gave 2 loci (Idh-1 and Idh-2) for the isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme system. Two alleles (Idh-1^{100} and Idh-1^{105}) of the Idh-1 locus were determined in M. domesticus and M. macedonicus. M. domesticus and M. macedonicus have the same karyological values 2n = …

Turkish Journal of Zoology

This research was carried out to determine the crustacean species associated with Padina pavonia facies distributed in the upper-infralittoral zone of the Aegean Sea coasts of Turkey and their bioecological features. The investigations were performed at depths of 2-5 m in 13 different stations chosen in the Aegean Sea in June and July, 1995. As a result of the study, a total of 3279 specimens belonging to 85 species were identified. Of these, Ampithoe ramondi was commonest with a dominance value of 21.47%, followed by Elasmopus pocillimanus with 13.94% and Ericthonius brasiliensis with 4.61%.

A First Record (Knipowitschia Longicaudata (Kessler, 1877)) For The Fish Fauna Of Lake Manyas, Davut Turan, Selçuk Berber, E. Tarik Topkara, Bülent Verep

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Knipowitschia longicaudata is recorded for the first time from Lake Manyas. K. caucasica is known to live in Lake Manyas. Therefore, In order to determine whether the specimens of Knipowitchia collected from Lake Manyas were K. caucasica species or not, they were compared with K. caucasıca from Lake Eğirdir. The comparission of K. caucasica specimens from Lake Eğirdir with the specimens from Lake Manyas showed that those species were 2 distinct species of Knipowitchia. Statistical analyses revealed that our specimens were K. longicaudata. The systematic characteristics of this species were examined and then compared with the data of those reported …

Sexual Dimorphism In Podarcis Sicula Campestris, Milan Vogrin Jan 2005

Sexual Dimorphism In Podarcis Sicula Campestris, Milan Vogrin

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Morphometric characters (snout-vent length, tail length, head length, head width, and number of ventrals and gulars) were analysed in 58 male and 44 female Italian Wall Lizards, Podarcis sicula campestris, from the Adriatic coast of Slovenia. The Italian Wall Lizard is significantly dimorphic in most characters analysed. Males were significantly larger than females. No differences between sexes were found in the number of gulars, whereas the number of transversal rows of ventrals was significantly higher in females (27-30) than in males (24-27).
