Sexual Differentiation of Circadian Clock Function in the Adrenal Gland [PDF]
Sex differences in glucocorticoid production are associated with increased responsiveness of the adrenal gland in females. However, the adrenal-intrinsic mechanisms that establish sexual dimorphic function remain ill defined. Glucocorticoid production is

ULTRASTRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF THE ADRENAL GLANDS DURING THE ACUTE HYPOXIA [PDF]
The goal of the study was to study the morphofunctional properties of ultrastructural changes in the cellular and extracellular structures of the adrenal glands during hypobaric hypoxia. The materials of the study were 30 male white rats weighing 180-200

A Comparison of Adrenal in Toad-Eating and Nontoad-Eating Snakes [PDF]
Toads are chemically defended by bufadienolides, a class of cardiotonic steroids lethal to most predators, including many snakes. Bufadienolides bind to Na+K +-ATPase, inhibiting their ability to transport ions.

The main objective of this work was to obtain detailed information on the distribution and localization of the spexin (Spx) system in the sea bass brain. To this purpose, we first identified and characterized the spx1 gene and analyzed its expression in the central nervous system (CNS) of the European sea bass by using quantitative Real‐Time Polymerase

PSMA PET/CT as a predictive tool for sub-regional importance estimates in the parotid gland [PDF]
Xerostomia and radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction remain a common side effect for head-and-neck radiotherapy patients, and attempts have been made to quantify the heterogeneous dose response within parotid glands. Here several models of parotid gland subregional importance are compared with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron ...
