Screening of the Behavioral Tests for Monitoring Agonistic Behavior of Layer Chicks. [PDF]
J Poult Sci, 2017 Chicken agonistic behavior, a type of social behavior related to threatening and fighting, is among the most serious problems in the poultry industry. However, due to luck of effective models for investigating the brain mechanisms of the behavior, no effective measures have been taken.

Dopamine Agonists and Pathologic Behaviors [PDF]
Parkinson's Disease, 2012 The dopamine agonists ropinirole and pramipexole exhibit highly specific affinity for the cerebral dopamine D3 receptor. Use of these medications in Parkinson’s disease has been complicated by the emergence of pathologic behavioral patterns such as hypersexuality, pathologic gambling, excessive hobbying, and other circumscribed obsessive-compulsive ...

Crowding and Agonistic Behavior: A Curvilinear Relationship? ,
Poultry Science, 1974 Abstract A postulated curvilinear relationship between area per bird and frequency of agonistic interactions is based on data collated from several preliminary experiments.

Agonistic Behavior of Mice and Rats: A Review [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1966 This paper reviews the results of research on the agonistic behavior of wild and tame strains of house mice ( Mus musculus ) and the Norway rat ( Rattus norvegicus ) and covers papers that have appeared since an earlier review (Scott and Fredericson, 1951) Various methods for observing, measuring, and eliciting fighting are described and their ...

NMDA channel behavior depends on agonist affinity [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1992 We have compared the kinetic properties of NMDA receptor channels activated by exogenous agonists with those activated synaptically. Short (4 msec) applications of L-glutamate to outside-out patches from hippocampal neurons evoked currents that decayed with a double exponential time course that was controlled by both the unbinding rate of agonist and ...

Behavioral characterization of opioid mixed agonist-antagonists [PDF]
Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 1987 The effects of agonists and partial agonists of both mu and kappa receptor systems are described in several behavioral tests in rhesus monkeys. Procedures measuring drug discrimination, drug self-administration, drug dependence, and drug-induced analgesia are differentially sensitive to the agonist and antagonist effects of various opioids.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Suppression of methamphetamine-seeking behavior by nicotinic agonists [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 To understand the mechanism of methamphetamine (MAP) craving from the viewpoint of nicotinic acetylcholinergic transmission, we examined the responsible site of the brain for anticraving effects produced by nicotinic agonists by using a MAP self-administration paradigm in rats.
