Crocodiles and alligators: Antiamoebic and antitumor compounds of crocodiles
Experimental Parasitology, 2017Crocodiles exist in unsanitary environments, feed on rotten meat, are often exposed to heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, mercury, nickel, lead, selenium, tolerate high levels of radiation, and are amid the very few species to survive the catastrophic Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, nonetheless they can live for up to a 100 ...

Alligators, Crocodiles and the Monstrous Uncanny
Continuum, 2006In north Queensland during October 2004 a crocodile attacked a man in a tent and dragged him out of it, only to be saved from a worse fate by the valiant efforts of a grandmother who jumped on the back of the croc who released the man and then proceeded to attack her.

Perfluorinated chemicals found in alligators, crocodiles
C&EN Global Enterprise, 2016Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs)—industrial chemicals that have tainted drinking water supplies in locales across the world—are accumulating in large reptiles. In two studies, researchers at Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, S.C., and affiliated institutions found PFCs in the blood plasma of American alligators in the southeastern U.S.

Do crocodiles and alligators hold the key to cancer treatment?
BMJ, 2016By 2030, the global cancer burden is expected to nearly double, growing to 21.4 million cases and 13.2 million deaths. Cancer is often linked to environmental pollutants, chemicals, infectious agents, genetics, hormones, and radiation. From visits to crocodile sanctuaries, it is evident that crocodiles can live in unhygienic conditions; feed on rotten

International Journal of Peptide and Protein Research, 1992
Two molecular forms of prolactin (PRL). glycosylated and non‐glycosylated, were isolated from pituitary glands of two reptiles, alligator and crocodile. The reptilian PRLs were extracted under alkaline conditions from the precipitate obtained after pituitaries were first extracted with 0.25 m sucrose, 1 mM NH4HCO3, pH 6.3. Purification was performed by

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1969
There is general agreement that birds and mammals, but not fish, can display error reduction on successive discrimination reversal (SDR) tasks. Reptiles, however, show error reduction on some but not other tasks. To provide further sampling of reptilian SDR performance, two species of crocodilians, the American alligator and the American crocodile ...
