Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 The melanocortin receptors (MCRs) and the MRAP accessory proteins belong to distinct gene families that are unique to the chordates. During the radiation of the chordates, the melancortin-2 receptor paralog (MC2R) and the MRAP1 paralog (melanocortin-2 ...

Afferent connections of the valvula cerebelli in two teleosts, the common goldfish and the green sunfish [PDF]
, 1989 The afferent connections of the valvula cerebelli were examined in one cypriniform teleost (Carassius auratus) and one perciform teleost (Lepomis cyanellus) with the use of horseradish peroxidase as a retrograde tracer.

Basal jawed vertebrate phylogeny inferred from multiple nuclear DNA-coded genes
BMC Biology, 2004 Background Phylogenetic analyses of jawed vertebrates based on mitochondrial sequences often result in confusing inferences which are obviously inconsistent with generally accepted trees.

Simultaneously operating threats cannot predict extinction risk
Conservation Letters, 2021 Species afflicted by multiple threats are thought to face greater extinction risk. However, it is not known whether multiple threats operate antagonistically, additively, or synergistically, or whether they vary across different taxonomic and spatial ...

Industrial application of fish cartilaginous tissues
Current Research in Food Science, 2022 Cartilage is primarily composed of proteoglycans and collagen. Bioactive compounds derived from animal cartilage, such as chondroitin sulfate and type II collagen, have multiple bioactivities and are incorporated in popular health products. The aging population and increases in degenerative and chronic diseases will stimulate the rapid growth of market

The self-organization of genomes [PDF]
, 2010 Menzerath-Altmann law is a general law of human language stating, for instance, that the longer a word, the shorter its syllables. With the metaphor that genomes are words and chromosomes are syllables, we examine if genomes also obey the law.

Connections of the corpus cerebelli in the green sunfish and the common goldfish [PDF]
, 1988 Examination of the connections of the corpus cerebelli in one perciform (Lepomis cyanellus) and one cypriniform teleost (Carassius auratus) reveal that ipsilateral afferent connections in both species arise from an anterior group of nuclei in the ...
