Assessment of testicular corticosterone biosynthesis in adult male rats.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Corticosterone is synthesized in the adrenal glands and is circulated throughout the body to perform regulatory functions in various tissues. The testis is known to synthesize and secrete testosterone and other androgens.

Microbial lysate upregulates host oxytocin [PDF]

, 2017
Neuropeptide hormone oxytocin has roles in social bonding, energy metabolism, and wound healing contributing to good physical, mental and social health. It was previously shown that feeding of a human commensal microbe Lactobacillus reuteri (L.

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate confers protection against corticosterone-induced neuron injuries via restoring extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathways.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Extensive studies suggested epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has significant neuroprotection against multiple central neural injuries, but the underlying mechanisms still remain poorly elucidated.

Chronic treatment with glucocorticoids does not affect egg quality but increases cortisol deposition into egg albumen and elicits changes to the heterophil to lymphocyte ratio in a sex-dependent manner

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
During chronic stress, there is an initial increase in glucocorticoid (GC) levels, but they then return to low, albeit not baseline, levels. Recent studies have renewed interest in cortisol in that it may also have important roles in the stress response.

Roles for the Uptake\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3e Transporter OCT3 in Regulation of Dopaminergic Neurotransmission and Behavior [PDF]

, 2019
Transporter-mediated uptake determines the peak concentration, duration, and physical spread of released monoamines. Most studies of monoamine clearance focus on the presynaptic uptake1 transporters SERT, NET and DAT.

Glucocorticoid Receptor and Adipocyte Biology. [PDF]

, 2018
Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that play a key role in metabolic adaptations during stress, such as fasting and starvation, in order to maintain plasma glucose levels.

Metabolic abnormalities and reprogramming in cats with naturally occurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1256-1270, April 2025.
Abstract Background and aims The heart is a metabolic organ rich in mitochondria. The failing heart reprograms to utilize different energy substrates, which increase its oxygen consumption. These adaptive changes contribute to increased oxidative stress.

A Non-Invasive Stress Assay Shows That Tadpole Populations Infected with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Have Elevated Corticosterone Levels

PLoS ONE, 2013
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a fungus that causes the disease chytridiomycosis and is associated with widespread amphibian declines. Populations vary in their susceptibility to Bd infections, and the virulence of the infecting lineage can also ...
