Abnormal organization of ovarian follicles in the mutant l(1)su(f)mad-ts ofDrosophila melanogaster
The morphology of ovarian follicles in the temperature-sensitive female-sterile mutantl(1)su(f)mad-ts has been studied by means of light and electron microscopy. As the follicle cells gradually degenerate at the ...

Calcium-binding sites in the inner ear after pure-tone stimulation
Five guinea pigs were exposed to an interrupted 90 dB SPL pure tone of 3.2 kHz for a total application time of 5 min. Following sound application all animals were decapitated and the cochleae were removed. Aft...

Possible roles of nitric oxide in the physiology and pathophysiology of the guinea pig cochlea
Two nitric oxide synthase isoforms (NOS-I and NOS-III) are present in the mammalian cochlea, and many regulatory functions of the inner ear could be mediated by NO. In this study, cochlear potentials and immu...
