Thermal signatures of human pheromones in sexual and reproductive behaviour [PDF]

, 2010
Chemically mediated sexual communication in humans has been largely neglected due to its non-conscious and relatively concealed nature. However, menstrual cycle synchronisation, puberty onset in young pre-pubertal girls exposed to their stepfather, and ...

Luteal phase stimulation versus follicular phase stimulation in poor ovarian responders: A systematic review and a meta‐analysis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Poor ovarian response (POR) complicates a substantial proportion of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, frequently causing cycle cancellation and suboptimal reproductive outcomes. Conventional follicular‐phase ovarian stimulation (FPOS) protocols often yield limited results, prompting the evaluation of alternative strategies such ...

Policy and advocacy considerations for the prevention and care of preterm birth

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of mortality in children aged under 5 years and a major contributor to lifelong morbidity, disproportionately affecting low‐ and middle‐income countries. Despite its significant burden, PTB remains underprioritized on global and national health agendas, with limited integration into monitoring ...

Morphometric changes and sex steroid levels during the annual reproductive cycle of the Lusitanian toadfish, Halobatrachus didactylus [PDF]

, 2003
The Lusitanian toadfish has group synchronous oocytes, which grow from November until June–July when they are released probably as a single batch. Blood plasma levels of estradiol-17b (E2) and testosterone (T) increase during vitellogenesis and drop ...

Ovulating Female of Nine‐Spined Sticklebacks (Pungitius sinensis) Are Attracted to Substances Derived From Male Kidneys

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male sticklebacks (Gasterosteidae) produce an adhesive protein called “spiggin” in the tubular epithelial cells of their kidneys, which they use to attach plants or plant debris together and build nesting sites. Spiggin is a glycoprotein excreted in urine.

Diving Deeper Into Mechanisms of Acrylamide‐Induced Toxicity: RNA Sequencing Reveals Transcriptomic Alteration and Retrotransposon Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.

Food Sharing across Borders [PDF]

, 2018
Evolutionary models consider hunting and food sharing to be milestones that paved the way from primate to human societies. Because fossil evidence is scarce, hominoid primates serve as referential models to assess our common ancestors’ capacity in terms ...
