Effects Of Retinoic Acid On Prostaglandin Biosynthesis In Guinea-Pig Skin [PDF]
Topical application of retinoic acid on guinea-pig skin resulted within 70 hours in erythema with a concomitant elevation of endogenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the treated areas of the skin.

Tertiary conformational transition constant of guinea pig haemoglobin determined from the reaction of 5,5′-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoate) with CysF9[93]β and CysH3[125]β [PDF]
We have determined Kequ, the equilibrium constant for the reaction of 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) — DTNB — with the CysF9*93+β and CysH3*125+β sulphydryl groups of various derivatives of guinea pig haemoglobin at 25oC.

The latex of Hevea brasiliensis is rich in furan fatty acid (FuFA) esterified in both neutral and polar lipids. Bio‐based solvents to extract FuFA from ammonia‐stabilized latex was tested. Ethyl acetate worked best, especially with low‐ammonia content. Isopropanol was a good alternative. Lipases could also help to efficiently release FuFA. The findings

Quinine blocks 5-HT and 5-HT3 receptor mediated peristalsis in both guinea pig and mouse ileum tissue [PDF]
Introduction. Quinine is commonly used to treat malaria; however one of the principal side effects is gastrointestinal disturbances (White, 1992). 5-HT3 receptors modulate gut peristalsis (Chetty et al., 2006), and, as quinine has been shown to act as a ...

Identification of the prostanoid receptor mediating PGE2-induced cough
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) may provide a novel therapy for the treatment of inflammatory airway diseases as it has been shown to confer both bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory activity in asthmatic subjects.

Macrophage TNF-α mediates parathion-induced airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs. [PDF]
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are implicated in human asthma. We previously demonstrated that, at concentrations that do not inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, the OP parathion causes airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs as a result of ...
