THE CAVE-LIKE SENSE ORGAN IN THE ANTENNAE OF TRIATOMINAE BUGS

The cave-like sense organ in the antennae of Triatominae bugs

In the second segment of the antennae of haematophagous reduviids an unusual cave-like organ is found the function os which was investigated in Triatoma infestans.the morphology of VANILLA the organ makes it difficult to ascribe it to a mechno- or chemoreceptive function, but shows some characteristics shared with thermoreceptors of other animals.T

Difference in transient ischemia-induced neuronal damage and glucose transporter-1 immunoreactivity in the hippocampus between adult and young gerbils

Objective(s): The alteration of glucose transporters is closely related with the pathogenesis of brain edema.We compared neuronal damage/death in the hippocampus between adult and young gerbils following transient Pterostilbene cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and changes of glucose transporter-1(GLUT-1)-immunoreactive microvessels in their ischemic h
