Pearl millet crop has been increasingly growing in Brazilian Savanna and it is already being used as cover crop between annual crops. The plant has great forage potential, besides being a nutrient recycling plant due to its peculiar root system. This study was developed in order to assess the pearl millet nutritional value when submitted to nitrogen fertilizer. It was evaluated the effect of nitrogen fertilizer (ammonium sulfate nitrate) treated with the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethyl pyrazole phosphate (DMPP) on the ruminal degradability of two pearl millets’ cultivars, under four nitrogen fertilization levels (0, 45, 90 and 180 kg ha-1) and pre-cutting heights (0.70, 0.80 and 0.90 m). The experimental design was a randomized block design in a factorial 3 × 4 (3 cutting heights × 4 nitrogen doses) with three replications. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and means were compared by Tukey test at 5% probability. The DMPP treated Nitrogen, in high doses, increased the dry matter, crude protein and neutral detergent insoluble fiber degradability in pearl millet handled at 0.90 m. The combination of fertilization with 45 or 90 kg ha-1 of nitrogen treated with DMPP, with the management of millet at 0.70 or 0.80 m did not favored the forage nutritional quality, indicating that in these treatments, the ratio between the availability of nitrogen in ammonium and nitrate forms may have been detrimental to the plants.

Biochemical, physiological, pharmacological, and more recently enzyme histo- chemical data have indicated that cholinergic circuits exist in the hypothalamus. Ultrastructural correlates of these pathways such as acetylcholinesterase (AchE) positive neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and stained terminals in the median eminence (ME) have yet to be described. Initial studies in our laboratories utilizing chemical lesioning and microdissection techniques coupled with microchemical and light microscopic enzyme histo- chemical studies suggested the existence of cholinergic neurons in the ARC which project to the ME (1). Furthermore, in adult male rats with Halasz deafferentations (hypothalamic islands composed primarily of the isolated ARC and the ME) choline acetyltransferase (ChAc) activity, a good marker for cholinergic neurons, was not significantly reduced in the ME and was only somewhat reduced in the ARC (2). Treatment of neonatal rats with high doses of monosodium 1-glutamate (MSG) results in a lesion largely restricted to the neurons of the ARC.

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a known toxicant that is found in the environment as a by-product during manufacture of certain pesticides. This chlorinated chemical has been isolated from many tissues including ovary. When administered in high doses, HCB causes degeneration of primordial germ cells and ovary surface epithelium in sub-human primates. A purpose of this experiment was to determine a no-effect dose of the chemical on the rat ovary. The study is part of a comprehensive investigation on the effects of the compound on the biochemical, hematological, and morphological parameters in the monkey and rat.

The effects of radioimmunotherapy were tested in xenografts of 2 different human pancreatic carcinomas comparing the intravenous and intratumoral application. On principle, intravenous injections of high doses of 131l-anti- Ca 19-9 or -BW 494/32 may inhibit tumor growth. In view of the low direct radiation dose (360-2100 rad), however, other factors than direct toxic effects have to be discussed, e. g. systemic effects due to the high whole-body irradiation. Intratumoral application, however, may induce tumor regression or growth inhibition due to the high local irradiation dose. Consequently, this treatment modality might be of clinical value at least in some patients.

This study demonstrates that in spite of measured normal concentrations of carrier proteins one cannot deduce in all cases a normal fT3 from a normal level of TT3 when 1-thyroxine given for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes is present in excess. The displacement of 1-triiodothyronine from its binding sites is shown in 35 patients with non-toxic goitre who received an oral dose of 200 μg 1-thyroxine/die for two weeks. Apart from a significant increase of TT4 (from 7.85 to 14.21 μg/dl ≙ + 81 %) and of fT4 (from 1.58 to 3.7 ng/dl ≙ + 134%) there is only a slight increase in TT3 from 148 to 158 ng/dl (≙ + 10%) after 14 days of treatment. By contrast fT3 rises clearly from 4.97 to 8.07 pg/ml ≙ + 63% (normal range: 2.8-5.6 pg/ml). Compared with the increase of TT3 (+ 10%) the free T3 rises by a factor of 6.3 (63 %/10%). On account of higher affinity of 1-thyroxine to binding proteins the free T4 is influenced to a lesser degree. Compared with the increase of TT4 (+ 81 %) free T4 rises by a factor of 1.6 (134%/81 %). It is supposed that the serum concentration of free T3 can be increased despite a normal concentration of TT3 when 1-thyroxine is present in excess. Therefore, for laboratory work fT3 should be assigned a higher validity than TT3 when patients are treated with comparatively high doses of 1-thyroxine.
