From Consumer Plastics to Aquatic Toxicants: Oxidative and Endocrine Effects of Microplastics on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) Larvae

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary microplastics (MPs) from single‐use consumer products are rapidly becoming one of the most persistent and widespread pollutants of our time. Freshwater systems act as early sinks for MPs where fragmentation and additive leaching expose aquatic life to a broad spectrum of toxic compounds.

Evaluation of thyroglobulin autoantibodies in dogs at the time of diagnosis of hypoadrenocorticism and during treatment

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) may occur more frequently in dogs with hypoadrenocorticism (HA) than previously recognised. The objective of this study was to determine the presence of thyroglobulin autoantibodies (TgAAs) in dogs with HA.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Pro-opiomelanocortin and ACTH–cortisol dissociation during pediatric cardiac surgery

Endocrine Connections
In critically ill adults, high plasma cortisol in the face of low ACTH coincides with high pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) levels. Glucocorticoids further lower ACTH without affecting POMC.

Developing an evidence‐based model to implement co‐governance

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Governments are seeking innovative ways to address complex policy issues in increasingly fragmented and fiscally constrained service contexts. Co‐governance is a relatively new mechanism for facilitating collective decision‐making between government and other stakeholders. Effective co‐governance can be difficult to establish and resource‐ and

The use of TES-therapy in complex the treatment of stable angina II-III functional class

Кубанский научный медицинский вестник, 2016
The article is devoted to the application of TES-therapy in the complex treatment of angina pectoris II-III functional class. To assess the efficacy of treatment was assessed cytokine status (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10) and hormonal profile (cortisol, ACTH,

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

Sex‐Specific Involvement of Gut Microbiota in Behavioral and Endocrine Responses to Chronic Predator Odor in Brandt's Voles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
18 days of predator odor exposure altered gut microbiota, increased anxiety‐like behaviors, and elevated hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity in Brandt's voles, with males showing behavioral habituation and females remaining sensitive. Cecal microbiota transplantation experiments confirmed that only female recipients of microbiota from predator‐
