Regulatory effect of gut microbes on blood pressure
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 513-531, December 2022., 2022 The interaction between gut microbiota and hypertension, the genera which affect the blood pressure in taxonomic level, and the commonly used treatments to hypertension based on the gut microbes were summarized in this review. The increases of Lactobacillus, etc.

Accessible ecophysiological tools for seabird conservation
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 1983-2002, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Seabirds are the most endangered avian taxa on Earth, with over a third of species globally threatened. To help slow their decline, conservation physiology seeks to determine how seabird responses to climatic and anthropogenic threats influence demographic processes, but it is not widely utilized in monitoring.

Circadian modulation of microglial physiological processes and immune responses
Glia, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 155-167, February 2023., 2023 Main Points Microglia are rhythmic cells with an oscillatory expression in clock genes, cytokines, and other microglial markers. Microglial circadian rhythms determine their physiological function and immune responses. Abstract Microglia is considered the central nervous system (CNS) resident macrophages that establish an innate immune response against

Molecular Informatics, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Many human diseases including cancer, degenerative and autoimmune disorders, diabetes and others are multifactorial. Pharmaceutical agents acting on a single target do not provide their efficient curation. Multitargeted drugs exhibiting pleiotropic pharmacological effects have certain advantages due to the normalization of the complex ...

Assessing release strategies for reintroductions of endangered Wyoming toads
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 46, Issue 5, December 2022., 2022 We performed reintroductions of captive‐bred Wyoming toads (Anaxyrus baxteri) (photo B.) to test the effects of soft‐ and hard‐release methods through implementation of a delayed‐release. After release, the toads were tracked using a harmonic tracking system in Wyoming, USA. The soft‐released toads were held in an outdoor enclosure for 14 days prior to

Delayed effects of corticosterone on slow after-hyperpolarization potentials in mouse hippocampal versus prefrontal cortical pyramidal neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The rodent stress hormone corticosterone changes neuronal activity in a slow and persistent manner through transcriptional regulation. In the rat dorsal hippocampus, corticosterone enhances the amplitude of calcium-dependent potassium currents that cause

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, Volume 46, Issue 11, Page 1993-2009, November 2022., 2022 The current study investigated whether prenatal alcohol exposure increases vulnerability to the behavioral consequences of adolescent alcohol exposure. Early alcohol exposure alone produced hyperactivity and some learning deficits, while adolescent alcohol exposure alone altered emotional responding in females.

Corticosterone selectively decreases humoral immunity in female eiders during incubation [PDF]
J. Exp. Biol. 209 (2006) 4957-4965, 2007 Immunity is hypothesized to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction. Previous studies have shown that the acquired immunity of female common eider ducks (Somateria mollissima) is suppressed during their incubation, during which they entirely fast.

Corticosterone Can Be an Essential Stress Index in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Although cortisol is considered the main glucocorticoid involved in regulating stress in fish by elevating the serum glucose, the presence of serum corticosterone and whether its level can be used as an indicator for fish stress activation and reflect ...
