Muscarinic receptors in the rat ovary are involved in follicular development but not in steroid secretion

Physiological Reports, 2022
Acetylcholine (ACh) may be involved in the regulation of ovarian functions. A previous systemic study in rats showed that a 4‐week, intrabursal local delivery of the ACh‐esterase blocker Huperzine‐A increased intraovarian ACh levels and changed ovarian ...

Night‐Time Chronotherapy with Methylprednisolone Prevents an Acute Rejection in Pediatric Patients with Liver Transplantation: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Concept of methylprednisolone chronotherapy to prevent acute rejections. While endogenous cortisol secretion rises in the early morning, the number of lymphocytes in the blood is higher at night, thus exhibiting an antiphase pattern to cortisol secretion. Therefore, compared with the daytime, the infiltration of lymphocytes into immune‐reactive tissues

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.
