A Novel GATA Factor Transcriptionally Represses Yolk Protein Precursor Genes in the Mosquito Aedes aegypti via Interaction with the CtBP Corepressor
In anautogenous mosquitoes, vitellogenesis, the key event in egg maturation, requires a blood meal. Consequently, mosquitoes are vectors of many devastating human diseases. An important adaptation for anautogenicity is the previtellogenic arrest (the state of arrest) preventing the activation of the yolk protein precursor (YPP) genes Vg and VCP prior to blood feeding. A novel GATA factor ...

Methylmercury accumulation and elimination in mink (Neovison vison) hair and blood: Results of a controlled feeding experiment using stable isotope tracers
Concentrations of metals in hair are used often to develop pharmacokinetic models for both animals and humans. While data on uptake are available, elimination kinetics are less well understood; stable isotope tracers provide an excellent tool for measuring uptake and elimination kinetics. In the present study, methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations through time were measured in the hair and blood ...
