Abstract
The processes of lipid deposition and utilization, via the gene leptin (Lep), are poorly understood in taxa with varying degrees of adipose storage. This study examines how these systems may have adapted in marine aquatic environments inhabited by cetaceans. Bowhead (Balaena mysticetus) and beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) are ideal study animals-they possess large subcutaneous adipose stores (blubber) and undergo bi-annual migrations concurrent with variations in food availability. To answer long-standing questions regarding how (or if) energy and lipid utilization adapted to aquatic stressors, we quantified variations in gene transcripts critical to lipid metabolism related to season, age, and blubber depth. We predicted leptin tertiary structure conservation and assessed inter-specific variations in Lep transcript numbers between bowheads and other mammals. Our study is the first to identify seasonal and age-related variations in Lep and lipolysis in these cetaceans. While Lep transcripts and protein oscillate with season in adult bowheads reminiscent of hibernating mammals, transcript levels reach up to 10 times higher in bowheads than any other mammal. Data from immature bowheads are consistent with the hypothesis that short baleen inhibits efficient feeding. Lipolysis transcripts also indicate young Fall bowheads and those sampled during Spring months limit energy utilization. These novel data from rarely examined species expand the existing knowledge and offer unique insight into how the regulation of Lep and lipolysis has adapted to permit seasonal deposition and maintain vital blubber stores.

Abstract
The effects of nimodipine on the cocaine-induced alterations in blood pressure, heart rate, and plasma catecholamines were studied in the squirrel monkey. Cocaine in intravenously administered doses of 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg produced significant increases in blood pressure and significant decreases in heart rate. These cardiovascular changes were associated with transient episodes of arrhythmias and with significant increases in plasma concentrations of dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Nimodipine, 1 micrograms/kg/min for 5 min administered intravenously 5 min after cocaine, corrects the cardiovascular and plasma catecholamine concentration changes induced by this alkaloid. The same dose of nimodipine administered 5 min before cocaine prevents elevations of blood pressure. Plasma catecholamine increments are also prevented except for the highest dose of cocaine. Cardiovascular changes induced by cocaine administration in the squirrel monkey are temporally associated with significant increments in plasma catecholamines. Administration of nimodipine prevents or minimizes these endocrine and physiologic changes.
