TL;DR: The results suggest that the Bh gene causes whole-body hemorrhage and subsequent death of homozygous embryos, and data indicate that Bh homozygotes would develop brown feathers on their skin if they were able to survive.
Abstract: Genotypes of early embryos obtained from mating Bh/+ quail were determined by chorio-allantoic membrane grafting of their thigh skin, and the development of the Bh homozygous embryos was examined histologically. The Bh homozygous embryos died at an early stage of development (after 7 to 10 days of incubation) with a very high incidence of whole-body hemorrhage (approximately 100%), but malformation of neural tubes was not always accompanied by Bh homozygosity. Degeneration of the liver was more frequently observed in homozygous embryos than in wild-type and heterozygous embryos. The results suggest that the Bh gene causes whole-body hemorrhage and subsequent death of homozygous embryos. In addition, our data indicate that Bh homozygotes would develop brown feathers on their skin if they were able to survive.

TL;DR: Growth factor activity in luminal fluids from the male reproductive tract was assayed by measuring the stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation into BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts.
Abstract: Growth factor activity in luminal fluids from the male reproductive tract was assayed by measuring the stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation into BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts. The potency of fluids from the rete testis of the rat, ram, tammar wallaby and Japanese quail was much the same. However, about 90% of the activity in fluid from the rete testis of the rat and tammar was lost during its passage through the epididymis.

TL;DR: A protocol for producing quail hatchlings by culture in vitro from naked ova is obtained and should be applicable to the production of transgenic birds.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The findings suggest that state dependent effects may alter sexual motivation and that repeated exposure to cocaine during sexual activity may increase sexual motivation which, in turn, may lead to high risk sexual activities.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the inability of low multiple doses of TCB to cause porphyria in Japanese quail may be related to the low responsiveness of ALA-S but high inducibility of ferrochelatase liver GSH and glutathione S-transferase.
