Mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis were exposed to different concentrations of estradiol (20, 200, and 2000 ng/l) in a semi-static regime (1-day dosing intervals) for up to 7 days in an attempt to see how mussels dealt with exogenous estrogenic compounds. Sex hormone levels were determined in whole tissue. Free-estradiol was only significantly elevated at the highest exposure dose (up to 10-fold). Most of the estradiol was in the tissues as fatty acid esters (>78%), which sharply increased in a dose-dependent manner (from 4 ng/g in controls to 258 ng/g at the high exposure group). In contrast, neither free nor esterified testosterone levels showed significant differences between control and exposure groups. The results suggest the existence of mechanisms that allow mussels to maintain their hormonal status, and the important role that fatty acid esterification may play within those mechanisms. Synthesis and conjugation rates of estradiol were further investigated by measuring the activity of P450 aromatase, and palmitoyl-CoA:estradiol acyltransferase, in digestive gland microsomal fractions. Overall, the study contributes to the better knowledge of molluscan endocrinology, and defines new mechanisms of regulation of free steroid-levels in mussels. 相似文献

For the first time detailed investigations of hydrothermal alterations on microbiota of ore-bearing sediments of the Ashadze-1
field (13° N, Mid-Atlantic Ridge) were carried out and local mineral-geochemical zoning was established. For the first time
for the region, enriching of Mg sediments related with hydrothermal activity was revealed. It was concluded that hydrotherms
affecting sediments are characterized with a high Mg content. 相似文献

We study Harrington's Hamiltonian in the Hill approximation of the stellar problem of three bodies in order to clarify and sharpen a qualitative analysis made by Lidov and Ziglin. We show how the orbital space after four reductions is a two-dimensional sphere, Harrington's Hamiltonian defining a biparametric dynamical system. We produce the diagrams corresponding to each type of phase flow according to a complete discussion of all possible local and global bifurcations determined by the four integrals of the system. 相似文献

In the algebraA of functions periodic in the mean anomaly we relate the problem of integrating over the mean anomaly with that of decomposing an element ofA as the direct sum of two functions, one in the kernel of the Lie derivative in the Keplerian flow and one in the image of this Lie derivative. We propose recursive rules amenable to general purpose symbolic processors for accomplishing such decomposition in a wide subclass ofA. We introduce the dilogarithmic function to express in exact terms quadratures involving the equation of the center. 相似文献

Brujas Cave, in the Southern Andean Range, is a well-known endokarstic site in Argentina. However, the origin and evolution of this cave system are poorly known. Based on morphological cave features as well as characteristics of cave deposits, we propose a meteogene drawdown cave genesis, including a change from phreatic to vadose conditions related to the high rate of fluvial downcutting in the area. During the vadose period, various cave-related deposits, including authogenic calcite and gypsum speleothems, allogenic volcanic ash and external tufas were deposited. Gypsum crusts are the oldest cave deposits identified (90.2–64.3 ky BP). Their origin, deduced from isotopic characteristics (∂34S=9.6‰), is related to the oxidation of pyrite contained in the Jurassic limestone bedrock as well as the dissolution of overlying Jurassic–Triassic evaporite formations. Gypsum crust deposition is associated with evaporation of water flowing and seeping into the cave during arid environmental conditions. Calcite deposits precipitated from flowing water under equilibrium conditions represent the main speleothem growth period (67.6–34 ky BP in age). Their stable isotope values (∂13C=−3‰ to −5‰ and ∂18O=−9‰ to −11‰) may indicate slightly humid and warm conditions related to the regional Minchin lacustrine phase and global oxygen isotope stage 3. Following this stage, a seismic event is evidenced by accumulations of broken stalactites. Seepage calcite speleothems covering cave walls were deposited under disequilibrium conditions by evaporation, probably during Holocene time. Finally, another more recent gypsum deposition period represented by gypsum balls has been differentiated. Micromorphological as well as isotopic (∂34S=5.6‰) data indicate that these gypsum forms are related to cyclic processes (solution–deposition) from water seeping into the cave under arid conditions. In addition, intense volcanic activity in the area during Holocene time is deduced from allogenic volcanic ash and lapilli located mainly at the entrance cave. At present, limited hydrological activity is observed in the cave and small tufa deposits at karstic discharge points are evidenced. We conclude that the geomorphological evolution of Brujas Cave was controlled by climatic changes (wet and dry stages) under semiarid environmental conditions in a very active tectonic and volcanic setting during Late Quaternary time. 相似文献
