Psychiatry related information on Monodelphis

 

High impact information on Monodelphis

  • With two different antibodies (a monoclonal antibody to the C terminus of the 31-kd subunit of H-ATPase and a polyclonal rabbit antiserum to whole bovine H-ATPase) the vacuolar-type H-ATPase pump in the different nephron segments of the gray short-tailed (Monodelphis domestica) opossum kidney has been immunocytochemically localized [8].
  • Examination of a metatherian mammal, the gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) revealed seven canonical OR37 genes, all phylogenetically related to cluster II genes and also organized similar to cluster II of eutherian species [9].
  • The p53 tumor suppressor gene of the marsupial Monodelphis domestica: cloning of exons 4-11 and mutations in exons 5-8 in ultraviolet radiation-induced corneal sarcomas [1].
  • We report the cDNA sequences for the DMA and DMB family of Mhc genes of the gray short-tailed opossum [10].
  • Transthyretin was found in serum from Monodelphis domestica, Didelphis virginiana, Caluromys lanatus, and Dromiciops australis [11].
 

Biological context of Monodelphis

 

Anatomical context of Monodelphis

  • This study involved characterization of Leydig cells of the opossum Monodelphis domestica, functionally by immunocytochemical identification of the enzyme 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 beta-HSD) and by measurement of testosterone levels using RIA [15].
  • Here retinal ganglion cells in the opossum Monodelphis were birthdated with tritiated thymidine on the sixth postnatal day (P6), before being lesioned in the temporal retina at P8 [16].
  • We have previously shown that when the central nervous system (CNS) of the new-born opossum, Monodelphis domestica, is cultured for three to five days in the presence of histidine, inhibition by baclofen, a GABAB agonist, disappears (Stewart et al. 1991) [17].
  • Intraperitoneal administration of 0.5 mg toremifene daily for 5 days in three female animals resulted in a mean uterus concentration of 22.9 nmol/g, or 400-fold that achieved by topical administration of 0.5 mg/day in three other female Monodelphis (0.05 nmol/g) [3].
  • In the presence of diaminobenzidine (DAB), a laser microbeam was applied to carbocyanine (Dil) stained sensory fibers in cultured spinal cords of the newly born opossum Monodelphis domestica [18].
 

Associations of Monodelphis with chemical compounds

  • Monodelphis domestica was used because it has the capacity for photoreactivation of UVR-induced pyrimidine dimers in epidermal DNA [19].
  • Plasma samples were assayed for androgen in gray short-tailed opossums (Monodelphis domestica) on the day of birth and at selected ages through adulthood [20].
  • Our immunocytochemical study suggests that in Monodelphis, puberty is reached at 4 mo, and this was further supported by a rise in circulating testosterone levels at this time [15].
  • Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) was detected by immunocytochemical procedures in cells and fibers in the brain and in the nervus terminalis of the adult and neonatal gray, short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) [21].
  • We determined the time-course and general pattern of thalamocortical development of Monodelphis domestica by tracing projections with carbocyanine dye in fixed postnatal brains between postnatal day 2 (P2) and P30 [22].
