Decreased Growth Rate Associated with Tissue Contaminants in Juvenile Chinook Salmon Out-Migrating through an Industrial Waterway.

The industrial waterway in Portland Harbor, Oregon, is a migration corridor for a distinct population segment of Chinook Salmon (Upper Willamette River) currently protected by the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

Inorganic pyrophosphatase: a new polymorphic allozyme locus in Pacific salmon.

Genetic polymorphism of inorganic pyrophosphatase was investigated in 2799 individuals in four species of Pacific salmon: chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), kokanee (O. nerka), and steelhead (O.

[Coefficient of linear correlation between levels of fibrinogen, antithrombin III, thrombin-antithrombin complex and lipid fractions in women exposed chronically to carbon disulfide].

The authors examined 65 women, aged 22-58 years. They were derived from two industrial populations of different production profiles, and divided into three groups. Group I--the control group--was composed of 20 women, mean age 44.

Due to more frequent occurrence of the idiopathic arterial hypertension of borderline type (18.97% of screened women), with values varying from 18.7/12.

[Certain biochemical markers in women with abnormal states of the reproductive system].

The concentrations of collagen, hydroxyproline, glycosaminoglycans and estradiol were determined in 60 women aged 51 to 60 years (mean: 55.6 +/- 4.4).
