Pituitary Neurolobectomy induces sustained hypotension in male Wistar rats and normalizes blood pressure in male spontaneously hypertensive rats. [PDF]

Physiol Rep
Abstract Arginine vasopressin is primarily recognized as an osmoregulatory hormone; however, its contribution to vascular tone and blood pressure regulation under basal and hypertensive conditions remains debated. This study examined the effects of vasopressin deficiency induced by neurointermediate pituitary lobectomy in Wistar and spontaneously ...

Effects of intermittent exposure to hypobaria and cold on the microarchitecture and morphofunctional profile of rat gastrocnemius muscle

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

SEED RESERVE MOBILIZATION IN THE EMBRYONIC AXIS AND COTYLEDONS OF Schizolobium parahyba (Vell.) S. F. Blake DURING GERMINATION

Ciência Florestal, 2010
Knowledge of seed chemical composition is very important in order to understand behavior during germination, storage and metabolic processes involved during reserve degradation, the latter of which affects seed vigor.

The Renal Function of the Wild Rodent Cerradomys goytaca Reveals Adaptations in the Mechanisms of Urinary Concentration and Solute Excretion

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Renal adaptations of Cerradomys goytaca associated with survival in its natural habitat. Graphical Abstract of the main renal physiological characteristics identified in C. goytaca. This species exhibits an increased kidney mass index, elevated urine osmolality, and enhanced tubular water reabsorption, indicating a higher capacity for water ...

A loucura como questão semântica: uma interpretação kantiana Madness as a semantic question: a Kantian interpretation

Trans/Form/Ação, 2009
Apesar das mudanças do projeto kantiano, é possível identificar o problema da loucura como sendo abordado em duas perspectivas: uma fisiológica, outra semântica. A abordagem fisiológica corresponde ao modelo das ciências dos objetos dos sentidos externos.

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.
