High impact information on Nautilus

• Octopine as an end product of anaerobic glycolysis in the chambered nautilus [1].
• The terminal step in the anaerobic glycolysis of muscle in the chambered nautilus, Nautilus pompilius, is not pyruvate reduction to lactate as in vertebrate muscle [1].
• We introduced three independent mutations, Ser(63) --> Gly, Ser(63) --> Thr, and Tyr(68) --> Ser, in Nautilus arginine kinase [2].
• A total of 20 surgically menopausal women were randomized and treated with either 0.625 mg conjugated estrogen daily or the same dose of estrogen plus a closely monitored exercise program involving the use of Nautilus muscle strengthening/endurance equipment [3].
• Immuno-mapping of the constituents of the aragonite-nucleating protein fraction from Atrina nacre showed that these macromolecules are located both in the intertabular matrix and in the center of the crystal imprints for both Atrina and Nautilus matrix surfaces [4].

Biological context of Nautilus

• In summary, these data suggest an important role for biogenic amines in the control of the heart of Nautilus pompilius L., with serotonin possibly stimulating excitatory nerve fibres, whereas noradrenaline is likely to influence the muscle contraction itself [5].

Associations of Nautilus with chemical compounds

• Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release nicotinic acid in a usual care setting: the NAUTILUS study [6].
• An oral glucose tolerance test, 100 g, was administered to six young (23 +/- 1 year) and 9 elderly (63 +/- 1 year) male subjects before and after 12 weeks of a supervised progressive resistance weight lifting program, which employed Nautilus equipment [7].
• 2. N-acetyl glucosamine was detected in nautilus but not mussel or abalone [8].
• The present study assessed the capability of the Nautilus leg curl machine to reflect changes in the isokinetic resistance torque offered to the user commensurate with the human torque pattern generated by the knee flexor muscle group [9].
