Buffalo vehicle

VJ The key to the Mechem mine clearance operations have been the use of these vehicles because they can carry detectors through mined areas safely without exposing the operator. Why I liked rats is because the REST system using them could be built into a MRV like a Buffalo or Casspir using a team of rats on board. The new Fido can now also do this.

Purified cholesterol, all known initial and subsequent oxidation products of cholesterol and some related compounds were tested cholest-5-en-3-one 7a-diol 73-diol 7-keto cholesta-3,5-dien-7-one a-epoxide triol cholest-4-en-3-one 63-hydroperoxycholest-4-en-3-one 63 hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one cholest-4-ene-3,6-dione cholest-5-ene-33,43 diol 5a-cholest-6-ene-33,5a-diol 53 cholestan-33-ol cholesta-1,4-dien-3-one 5a-cholest-7-eii-33 ol cholesta-7,9-dien-33-ol acetate 7,8,9,11-diepoxy-22-isoallospirostan-33 ol acetate cholesteryl acetoace-tate and cholesteryl isoheptylate. Many were carcinogenic when administered subcutaneously into Marsh-Buffalo mice with sesame oil as the vehicle a-epoxide, 63-hydroperoxycholest-4-en-3-one and cholest-4-en-3,6-dione were most potent (34-66% incidence of fibrosarcoma verses 1.4% for vehicle control). All share the property of oxygen linkage at carbon 6. 63-hydroxycholest-... 

The tumour growth rate in transplantable tissue-isolated hepatomas (7288 CTC) in adult male Buffalo rats treated with melatonin injections was 51 % lower than that in the vehicle-treated animals (Blask et al. 1997). The latency of onset of tumour appearance was delayed by over one week in the melatonin-treated group compared with the control group. The degree of tumour inhibition observed in this study was virtually identical to that seen by Ka-RASEK et al. (1990) using a transplantable hamster hepatoma (Kirkman-Robbins) implanted into male Syrian hamsters receiving daily, late-afternoon injections of melatonin (25 p,g/animal) for 10 days.
