One day of environment‐induced heat stress causes injury to the murine kidney

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environment‐induced heat stress (EIHS) results from sustained body temperature elevation owing to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. We hypothesized that EIHS would cause kidney injury and cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, female C57 mice were exposed to EIHS (n = 14; 37.6°C, 42.0% relative humidity) or thermoneutral (TN ...

Fundamental sex differences in cocaine-induced plasticity of D1R- and D2R-MSNs in the mouse nucleus accumbens core

Biology of Sex Differences
Background Cocaine-induced changes in nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh) medium spiny neurons (MSNs) differ based on dopamine receptor subtype expression, the sex of the animal, and for females, phase of the estrous cycle.

Alterations to longitudinal muscle morphology and mechanical function following immobilization and recovery in female ovariectomized and intact rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Serial sarcomere number (SSN) is reduced following immobilization of a muscle in a shortened position in male rodents thereby impairing muscle contractile function. However, in female rodents the effects of oestrogen on SSN and mechanical changes following immobilization and re‐ambulation are unknown.

Mitochondrial capacities and quality control following short‐ and long‐term weight restoration after simulated anorexia nervosa

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by prolonged caloric restriction and skeletal muscle atrophy. Mitochondrial health is a key mediator of muscle function, yet the role of mitochondria during AN and following weight regain has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate mitochondrial capacities

Early‐stage 2K1C renovascular hypertension does not increase global MHC‐II or F4/80 abundance in the non‐clipped kidney but reveals focal F4/80+ induction

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The two‐kidney, one‐clip (2K1C) model produces renovascular hypertension. The effects on the clipped kidney (CK) are well described, while the non‐clipped kidney (NCK) is used as a model to evaluate the effects of high blood pressure. Although most of these effects have been described at later stages of 2K1C hypertension, it remains unclear ...

Nitric oxide concentration in cows after synchronisation and during cycle stages [PDF]

Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences
The aim of (his study was to reveal the occunence of nitric oxide (NO) concentration changes after synchronisation, cycle stages in cows. For this, the following were carried out respectively: Fourty Holstein cows were used to study and estrous cycles ...

Ovariectomy, but not moderate intermittent hypoxia, promotes respiratory instability and risk of obesity in adult female rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep apnoea (SA) is a prevalent and complex respiratory disorder associated with recurrent interruptions of air flow during sleep. SA causes sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxia which leads to numerous negative health consequences.

Mitochondrial haplotype and sex modulate responses to endurance exercise training

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Using OKC‐HETB/W rats we demonstrate that mitochondrial haplotype influences training responses of endurance exercise. Overall OKC‐HETW rats showed greater responses than OKC‐HETB in exercise tolerance, mitochondrial bioenergetics, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation frequencies and motor co‐ordination.

Sex‐specific metabolic responses to glucagon receptor agonism and modulation of the FGF21‐glucagon axis in female mice

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Therapies targeting the glucagon receptor are being explored for obesity treatment, yet most preclinical studies remain male biased. In this study, Merrild and Johansen et al. show that in diet‐induced obese wild‐type mice a long‐acting glucagon analogue (LA‐Gcg) elicits sexually dimorphic effects on weight loss, food intake ...

P2X3 receptor antagonism improves hindlimb blood flow during exercise in a conscious ovine model of hypertensive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A preclinical large‐animal model of hypertensive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was used to examine the role of purinergic P2X3 receptor signalling during treadmill exercise. Animals were instrumented with either thoracic cardiac output and coronary flow probes or abdominal renal and hindlimb blood flow ...
