Acid Mucopolysaccharides in the Cuticle of the Gizzard of Earthworms

Nature, 1964
A HISTOCHEMICAL examination of the cuticle of the gizzard of earthworms has recently been made on Eisenia foetida S. by Van Gansen-Semal1, who suggested the presence of a non-fibrillar elastin. We have undertaken the investigation recorded here on a different species, Lumbricus terrestris L.

Myxoid Leiomyosarcoma of the Gizzard in a Broiler Chicken

Avian Diseases, 2002
A leiomyosarcoma was found in the gizzard of a 57-day-old female broiler chicken weighing 1.8 kg. Grossly, the tumor mass, 13.0 x 8.5 x 10.0 cm, enveloped the gizzard and had a gelatinous appearance due to the rich production of mucin. Miliary metastatic tumors were noted in the liver.

The subunit structure of gizzard myosin

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1973
Abstract Gizzard myosin consists of two m ajor subunits, ‘heavy chains’, with chain masses of about 200000 and two minor com ponents ‘light chains’ with chain masses of 20000 and 17000. Quantitative densitometry indicates that the two types of light chains occur in non-stoichiom etric amounts in a myosin molecule, both in purified ...

Acuaris skrjabini Infection of the Gizzard of Finches

Avian Diseases, 1982
Adult finches from aviaries in Victoria, Australia, were reported to experience a 4 to 5% mortality rate. Affected birds were lethargic and inappetant and had mild diarrhea for 1 to 2 days before death. Lesions found on post-mortem examination were gizzard mucosal necrosis, with an associated 30 to 60 Acuaria skrjabini spiruroids in each bird and ...

Differential behavior of gizzard isoactins

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1981
Abstract Turkey gizzard smooth muscle myofibrils, the actin of which is composed of 75% smooth muscle γ-isoactin and 25% nonmuscle β-isoactin, were separated into an actomyosin and a cytoskeletal fraction. Isoelectric focusing analysis of the actomyosin actin showed it was 80% γ-isoactin and 20% β-isoactin. It thus appears that the major actin in the

Observations on Gizzard Ulcers in Baby Chicks

Avian Diseases, 1968
Because so many gizzard ulcers are found in necropsies of baby chicks, a study was made of this condition. Although the lesions have been called erosions for some time, the majority observed in our work completely perforated the gizzard lining. Bottorff (1) reported observing hemorrhages in the gizzard lining of 18-day embryos in the early 1930's ...

Gizzard Troponin.

Journal of biochemistry, 1976
Native tropomyosin from the gizzard was separated into troponin and tropomyosin. The mode of action of the troponin-tropomyosin system of gizzard was shown to be distinclty different from that of skeletal muscle.

Studies on the avian gizzard: Auerbach's plexus

Zeitschrift f�r Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie, 1969
Light and electron-microscope observations have been made on the enteric nervous system of the chick and pigeon gizzard. In both species, Auerbach's plexus is in the form of a condensed, ganglionated nerve trunk, which is plexiform in certain regions.

Why is there so much myoglobin in chicken gizzard and so little in emu gizzard?

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1988
Abstract 1. 1. The functional significance of gizzard myoglobin was investigated by examining a range of biochemical parameters associated with aerobic and anacrobic energy metabolism in chicken gizzard, in other chicken muscles that differ markedly in energy metabolism, and in the well developed emu gizzard that has a very low myoglobin content.

Gizzard (Taşlık) Erozyonu

Taşlık, kanatlı hayvanların gastrointestinal sisteminin önemli bir parçasıdır. Taşlık, dişleri olmayan bu türlerde yemlerin öğütülmesini, besinlerin fiziksel olarak sindirilmesini ve emilmesini sağlayan bir organdır. Proventrikulusun aksine, taşlık daha mekanik bir amaca hizmet eder, Taşlıkta gelişebilecek anormal bir durum kanatlı hayvanlarda, yem ...
