prostaglandin receptors, hypothalamus, and fever
Language:

Description:
In rabbits and guinea pigs, hypothalamic sites for prostaglandin Ej (PGE2) action were studied by means of in vitro receptor autoradiography. The density of PGE2 binding sites (probably PGE2 receptors) was the highest in the anterior wall of the third ventricle (A3V). This result is consistent in all mammalian species ever studied, suggesting a fundamental role of the A3V in the hypothalamic action of PGE2, such as fever.

Description:
The seasonal changes of photosynthesis of cones of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi Carr.) trees showed that gross photosynthetic rate of young cones (G) was 2-3 µmol m-2 s-1 at surface area unit and PG / RD (dark respiration of cones) peaked about 0.7 in the same period, indicating that 70 % of respiratory CO2 was re-fixed. With maturation, PG and PG / RD sharply decreased. Chlorophyll content in cones was 3-20 % of that in leaves, which made it a limiting factor for photosynthesis and its content was closely correlated with photosynthetic capacity. Although sunken and linearly arranged stomatal organs were found on the scale of young cones, differently from the significant regulation of leaf photosynthesis, these stomata tended to be non-functional since CO2 is not limiting factor for cone photosynthesis. Thus photosynthesis of larch cones is an additional contribution to their development. and W.-J. Wang ... [et al.].
