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 ...

Novel Antimicrobial Peptides in Alligator and Crocodile
2017Novel antibiotics are needed to fight the rising tide of drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria. One possible source is cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs), small proteins produced by the innate immune system. CAMPs have a range of mechanisms including direct antibacterial action and immunomodulatory effects.

To evaluate the impacts of the expansion of human development on American crocodile and spectacled caiman in the Wetlands of the Gulf of Montijo, Veragua Province, Panama, we conducted a geomatics assessment of the main watersheds that drain into the Gulf of Montijo, in the Eastern Tropical Pacific of Panama.

Thermophilic Response of the American Alligator and the American Crocodile to Feeding
Copeia, 1979The body temperatures (Tb) and thermal behavior of juvenile Alligator mississippiensis and Crocodylus acutus were monitored in an outdoor enclosure equipped with aquatic and terrestrial thermal gradients. Both species selected significantly higher and less variable Tbs when fed than when fasted.

The concentrations of Na, K, Ca, Mg, Ba, Sr, Fe, Al, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, Se, U, and Ti were determined in the flesh and osteoderms of estuarine crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) captured in three adjacent catchments of Kakadu National Park, within the Alligator Rivers Region of northern Australia. This study provides, for the first-time, baseline
