The acute phase response in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2001Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, from S. typhimurium) or muramyl dipeptide (MDP, N-acetylmuramyl-L-ala-isoglutamine) in Japanese quail. Doses of MDP between 0.3 and 10 mg/kg body wt. had no effect on body temperature. In contrast, doses of 1.0-22.5 mg LPS/kg body wt.

Drinking induced by cellular dehydration in the quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 19881. Drinking was induced in water-replete quail 5-10 min after intravenous injection of hypertonic NaCl (0.69 osmol/l) or sucrose (1.06 osmol/l), but hypertonic urea (2.78 osmol/l) failed to induce drinking. 2. The birds drank approximately the amount required to dilute the injected solutes to isotonicity for each given dose of NaCl or sucrose. 3.

Induction of parental behavior in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica).
Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 1976The Japanese quail is a precocial species, and because of its relatively rapid development, sexual maturation in about 40 days after hatching, and prolific breeding capacity, it promises to become an organism well suited for avian research. One stumbling block has been the inability to induce, with any consistency, parental behavior in laboratory ...

Steroidogenesis in ovarian cells of the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1985The influence of follicular maturation on steroidogenesis and steroid metabolism by isolated Japanese quail granulosa and theca cells was examined. When stimulated with LH, granulosa cells of the largest follicle (F1) responded with a sixfold increase over unstimulated progesterone levels, whereas progesterone production in cells of F3 less than ...

Pasteurella multocida Infection in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Avian Diseases, 1989Three flocks of Japanese quail, approximately 75,000 birds each, experienced acute high mortality beginning at 24 to 28 days of age. Gross lesions were absent or were composed of either multifocal small pale areas on livers and spleens or lungs slightly darker in color than normal.

Response to Nutritional Deprivation in the Japanese Quail ( Coturnix Coturnix Japonica )
British Veterinary Journal, 1971SUMMARY The accumulation of total tissue DNA as an index of cell number, and the weight/DNA ratio as an index of cell size were used to establish the effects of severe stunting imposed by malnutrition on cellular development and the permanence or reversibility of such stunting in Japanese quail.

The Annual Testicular Cycle of the Domestic Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 1997SummaryA morphometric study was conducted on the testis of the domestic quail Coturnix coturnix japonica to determine testicular kinetics. We investigated the variability along the year of testicular parameters such as seminiferous tubule diameter, germinal epithelium height and amount of meiotic figures of maturing spermatids in the seminiferous ...

Ipsilateral retinal projections in Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica
Brain Research Bulletin, 1983Ipsilateral retinal projections were investigated in Japanese quails by means of the Fink-Heimer method after retinal extirpation, and by means of direct injection of horseradish peroxidase or cobalt ion-tophoresis into the optic nerve. Ipsilateral projections were found in the nucleus lateralis anterior thalami, nucleus dorsolateralis anterior thalami

The distribution of monoamines in the hypothalamus of the Japanese quail Coturnix coturnix japonica
Zeitschrift f�r Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie, 1968The distribution of monoamines in the hypothalamus of the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) has been studied using a histochemical fluorescence technique. In the posterior hypothalamus catecholamine-containing nerve fibres are localised in the nucleus tuberis and nucleus hypothalamicus posterior medialis and are linked by fluorescent tracts ...

Paired Pineals in the Developing Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) Embryos
Zoological Science, 1996Paired pineals were observed as an anomaly in embryonic quail brains between 7 and 9 days of incubation. The size of each pineal was almost the same as that of the normal pineal and it was located slightly lateral of the midline. Histological examination of these paired pineals revealed that both had similar cytological features in comparison with the ...
