The Effect of Dopamine on Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity and Capillary Blood Volume Responses to Exercise
DownloadFall 2017
Pulmonary diffusing capacity increases during exercise to meet the increasing oxygen (O2) demand of the body. Expansion of pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) and diffusing membrane capacity (Dm) are important contributors to the increased diffusing capacity observed during upright cycle...

γ-Aminobutyric Acid Up-Regulates the Expression of a Novel Secretogranin-II Messenger Ribonucleic Acid in the Goldfish Pituitary
Download1998
Docherty, K., Chang, J.P., Blázquez, M., Trudeau, V.L., Bosma, P.T.
An RNA-arbitrarily primed PCR differential display strategy was used to identify candidate genes in the pituitary that are up-regulated by endogenously activated g-aminobutyric acid (GABA) systems that may also be involved in the control of reproduction. Goldfish were injected with the GABA...
