    Notes: A single oral dose of 150 mg levamisole was administered to five healthy adults. Circulating Fc(IgG) receptor-bearing T cells (Tγ cells) increased for 5 days after levamisole intake, but total E rosette-forming cells showed no significant alterations. The generation of immunoglobulin-producing cells in the peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), which was induced in the in vitro pokeweed mitogen (PWM)-stimulated cultures, was significantly suppressed for 5 days after levamisole administration. Suppressor T-cell activity on B-cell differentiation, which was induced by levamisole intake, was evaluated by co-culturing with allogeneic untreated adult PBL in the PWM system in six other volunteers. A seemingly dose-dependent suppression on B-cell differentiation was exerted by T cells isolated on day 3 of levamisole treatment, but not by T cells which were isolated before or on day 14 of the experiment. When T cells were fractionated into two subsets with regard to the presence or absence of Fc(IgG) receptors, suppressor T-cell activity appeared to be generated by levamisole largely in T cells lacking Fc(IgG) receptors, but not in Tγ cells.

    Seasonal pattern of filial cannibalism by Apogon doederleini mouthbrooding males (2002)

    Notes: In temperate waters of southern Japan, mouthbrooding males of the cardinal fish Apogon doederleini sometimes ate their entire brood within a day of spawning. In spite of annual variation in age structure and length of the breeding season, however, the annual cannibalism rate (broods cannibalized to total broods spawned) was nearly constant, 12–16%. Fish 1 year old frequently cannibalized early broods of the season, especially the first brood, whereas the cannibalism rate by 2 year-old fish did not vary within the season. In contrast, the cannibalism by older males increased late in the season. This tendency was attributed to their different allocation patterns to growth and reproduction. For 1 year-old fish, which can enhance future reproductive success by growth and cannibalizing on early broods instead of mouthbrooding (at relatively low temperatures), this may be a tactic for investing energy in growth. For fish 〈inlineGraphic alt="geqslant R: gt-or-equal, slanted" extraInfo="nonStandardEntity" href="urn:x-wiley:00221112:JFB633:ges" location="ges.gif"/〉 3 years, which have more breeding cycles and grow little, cannibalizing late broods may be energetic compensation for their poor somatic condition. No seasonal variation of cannibalism by 2 year-old fish can be explained by their intermediate nature of growth and reproduction. Multiple mate availability is one factor facilitating the cannibalism by 2 and 3 + year-old fish whose operational sex ratio is female-biased.

    Transient Increase of IgG Fc Receptor-Bearing T Lymphocytes following Positive PPD Skin Testing (1978)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Scandinavian journal of immunology 8 (1978), S. 0

    Notes: In tuberculin-sensitive individuals, IgG Fc receptor (FcR)-hearing lymphocytes in the peripheral blood increased transiently following PPD-tuberculin skin test. This rise in circulating FcR-bearing cells appeared to peak about 36–48 h after the intradermal inoculation of PPD and seemed to occur largely in the T cell population. Skin test-negative individuals showed no significant changes in their circulating FcR-bearing cells following PPD inoculation. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from PPD-sensitive individuals were fractionated into non-T cell and T cell-enriched populations by E rosette sedimentation technique. FcR-bearing cells in the T cell-enriched population were eliminated by EA rosette sedimentation: i. e. FcR-negative T cells. Then, equal numbers (1 × 105 cells each) of non-T cells and unfractionated or FcR-negative T cells were recombined in culture. Prior to PPD inoculation, there was no significant difference between these two cell mixtures in the in vitro cellular response to PPD or mitogens. When these cell populations were obtained. 16–48 h after PPD inoculation, however, the combination of non-T tells and FcR-negative T cells responded to PPD much better than the combination of non-T cells and unfractionated T cells, whereas the mitogen-induced cellular proliferation of these two cell mixtures did not differ from each other.

    The costs of reproduction to males and females of a paternal mouthbrooding cardinalfish Apogon notatus (2001)

    Notes: In the cardinalfish Apogon notatus, starving males mouthbrood the eggs, and females are more active than males in courtship and in attacks against conspecific intruders upon their breeding territory, but sexual ornaments are developed in males. Condition factor, hepatosomatic index and fat body-somatic index declined in both sexes during the breeding season. The deterioration of somatic condition was more severe in females, suggesting that the overall energetic costs were larger for females which produced more than twice as many clutches as males brooded in a season. Selective mortality of females could be due primarily to the depletion of their energy reserves. The increased mortality in females is a possible mechanism for the male-biased operational sex ratio which may provide the potential for sexual selection on males.

    Notes: Abstract Cannibalistic behavior of a paternal mouthbrooding cardinalfish, Apogon notatus, was examined and compared with that of a sympatric congener, Apogon doederleini. In both species, males sometimes cannibalized their own entire broods, but their postcannibalistic behavior was markedly different. Males of A. doederleini respawned within a few days of cannibalism, usually changing mates, whereas males of A. notatus took several weeks to respawn, less frequently changing mates. This difference was attributed to mate availability for males. The operational sex ratio was female biased in A. doederleini but male biased in A. notatus, suggesting that the former males have higher mate availability and thus opportunities for remating soon after cannibalism. For male apogonids that accept only one clutch at a time, an effective way to compensate for reproductive loss entailed by filial cannibalism is to remate as soon as possible after cannibalism. The higher rate of filial cannibalism by A. doederleini than by A. notatus suggests that this cannibalism is facilitated by high mate availability. In contrast to filial cannibalism, heterocannibalism was more frequent in A. notatus. High population density and gregariousness may be important factors contributing to the frequent occurrence of heterocannibalism.

    Thermoregulatory responses to heat and exercise in Japanese and Caucasians (1975)
    Springer
    International journal of biometeorology 19 (1975), S. 99-107 
    Details

    Notes: Abstract Responses to heat and exercise were studied in 9 male Japanese subjects who walked on a treadmill at a speed of 4.4 – 4.8 km/h at 0 grade for 2 hours in a climatic chamber in July 1973, in Nagoya Japan. The results were compared with those obtained in a similar study made in July 1966 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The following results were obtained: (1) Japanese showed a 1.8 times higher rate of sweating than Caucasians. Total sweat from the whole body during 2 hours walk was also higher in Japanese. (2) Japanese exhibited lower chloride concentration in local sweat than Caucasians in spite of their higher dietary salt intake, higher serum chloride concentration and higher rate of sweating. While in Caucasians the sweat chloride concentration showed a tendency to continue to rise during the later period of the walk in spite of decreasing sweat rate after sweat suppression occurred, in Japanese it tended to fall in parallel with the sweat rate. No difference was observed in the length of the latent time of sweat suppression. (3) There were no differences in rectal temperature or heart rate, both at the period of equilibrium rectal temperature and at the end of the walk. (4) Mean skin temperature during the walk was significantly higher in Japanese than in Caucasians. It was concluded that the Japanese group was better heat acclimatized than Caucasians, though the two groups were considered to have been naturally heat exposed by season to the same extent.
