Glaucoma surgeries targeting the uveoscleral drainage pathways have been drawing more
attention lately. Among all the available techniques, procedures focusing on the supra-…

• Background and Aims Cell membranes are major targets of environmental stresses. Lipids
are important membrane components, and changes in their composition may help to …

Five herbaceous species, Deschampsia flexuosa, Nardus stricta, Rumex acetosa, Sesleria
albicans and Scabiosa columbaria (including two populations of S. columbaria) were chosen …

An experiment was established to assess the long-term effects of six different management
types on the species composition of dry limestone grasslands with the aim of finding an …

Membranes are main targets of drought, and there is growing evidence for the involvement
of membrane lipid in plant adaptation to such an environmental stress. Biosynthesis of the …

Photosynthetic rates were measured for five species of intertidal marine algae, in the air and
submerged. Ulva expansa and Prionitis lanceolata from the lower intertidal show reduced …

The 85-kDa cytosolic PLA 2 (CPLA 2 ) mediates agonist-induced arachidonic acid release
in many cell models, including mouse peritoneal macrophages. cPLA 2 is regulated by an …

Leukotrienes are metabolites of arachidonic acid derived from the action of 5-LO (5-lipoxygenase).
The immediate product of 5-LO is LTA 4 (leukotriene A 4 ), which is enzymatically …

Regular mowing of grassland is often necessary for plant conservation, but uncut vegetation
is needed by many arthropods for overwintering. This may lead to conflicting management …

Species richness, species composition and standing crop were studied in a limestone
grassland in northern Switzerland after 13 and 15 years of experimental management with 6 …
