Noninvasive, In Vivo Assessment of Mouse Retinal Structure Using Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel method of retinal in vivo imaging. In this study, we assessed the potential of OCT to yield histology-analogue sections in mouse models of retinal degeneration.

Ovol2, a zinc finger transcription factor, is dispensable for spermatogenesis in mice

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2019
Ovol2, a mouse homolog of Drosophila ovo, was identified as a zinc finger transcription factor predominantly expressed in testis. However, the function of Ovol2 in postnatal male germ cell development remains enigmatic. Here, we firstly examined the mRNA

Deciphering the Mechanisms of Developmental Disorders (DMDD): a new programme for phenotyping embryonic lethal mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
International efforts to test gene function in the mouse by the systematic knockout of each gene are creating many lines in which embryonic development is compromised.

Selenoprotein F Knockout Caused Glucose Metabolism Disorder in Young Mice by Disrupting Redox Homeostasis

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Selenoprotein F (SELENOF) might play an important role in maintaining human health since an increasing number of studies have linked SELENOF deficiency to various pathologies such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice

open access: yes, 2006
Mammalian hair growth is cyclic, with hair-producing follicles alternating between active (anagen) and quiescent (telogen) phases. The timing of hair cycles is advanced in prolactin receptor (PRLR) knockout mice, suggesting that prolactin has a role in ...

Effect of FSH on testicular morphology and spermatogenesis in gonadotrophin-deficient hypogonadal mice lacking androgen receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and androgen act to stimulate and maintain spermatogenesis. FSH acts directly on the Sertoli cells to stimulate germ cell number and acts indirectly to increase androgen production by the Leydig cells.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Lack of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Prevents Lipid-Induced Skeletal Muscle Insulin Resistance Without Attenuating Cytokine Level

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: We examined whether deletion of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) could prevent lipid infusion-induced insulin resistance in iNOS-knockout and wild-type mice with the in vivo euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique. Plasma NO metabolites were

The NADPH Oxidase Isoform 1 Contributes to Angiotensin II-Mediated DNA Damage in the Kidney

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2020
In higher concentrations, the blood pressure regulating hormone angiotensin II leads to vasoconstriction, hypertension, and oxidative stress by activating NADPH oxidases which are a major enzymatic source of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Transcriptional Profiling of Luteinizing Hormone Receptor-Deficient Mice Before and after Testosterone Treatment Provides Insight into the Hormonal Control of Postnatal Testicular Development and Leydig Cell Differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a key regulator of male fertility through its effects on testosterone secretion by Leydig cells. Transcriptional control of this is, however, currently poorly understood.
