To what extent does photoperiod affect cattle reproduction? Clinical perspectives of melatonin administration [PDF]
, 2020 The seasonality of reproduction in most mammals is dictated by photoperiod, temperature and nutrition. Melatonin, mainly synthesized in the pineal gland, is generally accepted as the active mediator of photoperiod responses including reproduction.

Estimation of lactate threshold with machine learning techniques in recreational runners [PDF]
Applied Soft Computing, 63, 181-196 (2018), 2018 Lactate threshold is considered an essential parameter when assessing performance of elite and recreational runners and prescribing training intensities in endurance sports. However, the measurement of blood lactate concentration requires expensive equipment and the extraction of blood samples, which are inconvenient for frequent monitoring ...

Aluminum lactate role in improving hydration and drying behavior of MgO-bonded refractory castables [PDF]
Ceramics International 46 [10] (2020) 17092-17102, 2021 Developing MgO-bonded castables is still an important subject for refractory producers and end-users based on the expansive character of the in-situ Mg(OH)2 formation. Considering that magnesia undergoes hydration when exposed to water and the generated hydrated phase needs to be properly accommodated in the resulting microstructure to inhibit the ...

Incorporating expression data in metabolic modeling: a case study of lactate dehydrogenase [PDF]
J Theor Biol 240: 464-474 (2006), 2005 Integrating biological information from different sources to understand cellular processes is an important problem in systems biology. We use data from mRNA expression arrays and chemical kinetics to formulate a metabolic model relevant to K562 erythroleukemia cells. MAP kinase pathway activation alters the expression of metabolic enzymes in K562 cells.
