Secretion and Function of Pituitary Prolactin in Evolutionary Perspective

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
The hypothalamo-pituitary system developed in early vertebrates. Prolactin is an ancient vertebrate hormone released from the pituitary that exerts particularly diverse functions.

Osmetry. 2. Osmoregulation [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 1978
The maintenance of osmolar constancy of the body fluids is dependent upon the recognition of osmolar disequilibrium and its correction by modifying the ingestion and excretion of fluid and solute. Osmolar changes are sensed by the hypothalamus which regulates the secretion of antidiuretic hormone to modify the renal excretion of water. The integrity of

Evaluating dispersal potential of an invasive fish by the use of aerobic scope and osmoregulation capacity

PLoS ONE, 2017
Non-indigenous species (NIS) can impact marine biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. Once introduced into a new region, secondary dispersal is limited by the physiology of the organism in relation to the ambient environment and by complex ...

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Role of seed priming using natural biostimulants in reducing salt stress effects by reshaping physio-biochemical and antioxidant defense systems in glycine max seedlings

Frontiers in Plant Science
Abiotic stress significantly damages crops, reducing global yields by over 50%. Among these challenges, salt stress poses a critical constraint that severely affects the growth, productivity, and quality of soybeans in various regions worldwide ...

Increases in apoptosis, caspase activity and expression of p53 and bax, and the transition between two types of mitochondrion-rich cells, in the gills of the climbing perch, Anabas testudineus, during a progressive acclimation from freshwater to seawater

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that branchial osmoregulatory acclimation involved increased apoptosis and replacement of mitochdonrion-rich cells (MRCs) in the climbing perch, Anabas testudineus, during a progressive acclimation from freshwater ...

Comparative genomics and mutagenesis analyses of choline metabolism in the marine Roseobacter clade [PDF]

, 2015
Choline is ubiquitous in marine eukaryotes and appears to be widely distributed in surface marine waters; however, its metabolism by marine bacteria is poorly understood.

Brain Transcriptome Profiling Analysis of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Under Long-Term Hypersaline Stress

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The fish brain plays an important role in controlling growth, development, reproduction, and adaptation to environmental change. However, few studies stem from the perspective of whole transcriptome change in a fish brain and its response to long-term ...
