Ovarian stimulation is an important step in the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) allowing multiple follicular growth, several oocytes and consequently more embryos. The combination of GnRH-antagonists (GnRH-ant) and gonadotrophins is now available for clinical use and represent a valid alternative to classical protocol with GnRH agonist ...

Random Antagonistic Matrices [PDF]
The ensemble of antagonistic matrices is introduced and studied. In antagonistic matrices the entries $\mathcal A_{i,j}$ and $\mathcal A_{j,i}$ are real and have opposite signs, or are both zero, and the diagonal is zero. This generalization of antisymmetric matrices is suggested by the linearized dynamics of competitive species in ecology.

Involvement of Noradrenergic Neurotransmission in the Stress- but not Cocaine-Induced Reinstatement of Extinguished Cocaine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference in Mice: Role for β-2 Adrenergic Receptors [PDF]
The responsiveness of central noradrenergic systems to stressors and cocaine poses norepinephrine as a potential common mechanism through which drug re-exposure and stressful stimuli promote relapse.

Sex-specific recombination rates and allele frequencies affect the invasion of sexually antagonistic variation on autosomes [PDF]
The introduction and persistence of novel sexually antagonistic alleles can depend upon factors that differ between males and females. Understanding the conditions for invasion in a two-locus model can elucidate these processes. For instance, selection can act differently upon the sexes, or sex-linkage can facilitate the invasion of genetic variation ...

Antagonists to the rescue [PDF]
Errors in protein folding represent the underlying basis for a large number of genetically inherited diseases. Point mutations, deletions, and in some cases, expanded sequences of amino acids give rise to protein products that fail to reach their native folded state.

The Effects of Serotonin Receptor Antagonists on Contraction and Relaxation Responses Induced by Electrical Stimulation in the Rat Small Intestine [PDF]
Background: The main source of 5-HT in body is in enterchromafin cells of intestine, different studies mentioned different roles for endogenous 5-HT and receptors involved and it is not clearified the mechanism of action of endogenous 5-HT. Objectives:

P2X4 Receptor Function in the Nervous System and Current Breakthroughs in Pharmacology
Adenosine 5′-triphosphate is a well-known extracellular signaling molecule and neurotransmitter known to activate purinergic P2X receptors. Information has been elucidated about the structure and gating of P2X channels following the determination of the ...

Emergence of an Auxin Sensing Domain in Plant-Associated Bacteria
Bacteria have evolved a sophisticated array of signal transduction systems that allow them to adapt their physiology and metabolism to changing environmental conditions. Typically, these systems recognize signals through dedicated ligand binding domains (
