Prokaryotic and viral diversity patterns in marine plankton
Prokaryotes and viruses play critical roles in marine ecosystems, where they are both highly abundant and active. Although early work on both prokaryotes and viruses revealed little of their diversity, molecu...

1100 THE ARRHENIUS PLOT OF HEPATIC MICROSOMAL GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATASE ACTIVITY OF THE CONGENITALLY JAUNDICED (GUNN) RAT
The failure of the Gunn rat to conjugate bilirubin results from either defective (or absent) bilirubin UDP-glucuronyl transferase or from a defect in the membrane environment of that enzyme. The latter possibi...

1139 PARATHYROID (PTH) AND ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE (ADH) IN REYE-JOHNSON SYNDROME (RJS)
From the metabolic standpoint, several features of RJS implicate a role for cAMP in the pathophysiology of this disease. ↑ plasma cAMP is found in RJS to corroborate this possibility. In the presence of a norm...
