The pesticide heptachlor affects steroid hormone secretion in isolated follicular and luteal cells of rat
(Elsevier, 2006-09-01)
Heptachlor, a chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticide, suppresses the production of
progesterone and estradiol in the female rat in vivo or in isolated ovaries in vitro. In this study
the effect of heptachlor on steroid ...

Inheritance of resistance to the spotted stem borer, chilo partellus, in a maize population.
(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, Nairobi (Kenya), 2006)
The spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus is an important insect pest of maize. It damages maize by feeding on the leaves and within the plant. Maize yield loss due to Chilo spp. Stem borer damage is estimated at 44 percent ...

Association of Fcγ receptor IIA (CD32) polymorphism with malarial anemia and high-density parasitemia in infants and young children
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006)
Protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially mediated through binding of malaria-specific IgG antibodies to Fcγ receptors. Polymorphic variability in Fcγ RIIa (H/R-131) is associated with differential ...

Linear, primary monohaloalkane chemistry in NaX and NaY faujasite zeolites with and without Na0-treatment: Zeolites as nucleophilic reagents II
(Elsevier, 2006-06-20)
This work undertakes, we believe for the first time, a study of the chemistry of alkyl halides in Na0 treated zeolites. It concludes that
untreated zeolites do nucleophilic chemistry to the degree that the host is electron ...
