Anuran call properties as reliable indicators of environmental suitability for reproduction
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.The onset of animal breeding activity is often accompanied by auditory signals, typically produced by males, that indicate reproductive status to potential mates and competitors. Here, using male anuran advertisement calls as a case study, we present the novel hypothesis that characteristics of ectotherm auditory signals that are modulated by ...

Ibrain, EarlyView.In this review, agents such baicalein, troxerutin, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, melatonin, valproic acid, lithium, neurosteroid progesterone, as well as minocycline have been implicated as neuroprotective agents for irradiation‐induced neurological deficits. Also, agents such as glucocorticoids, methylphenidate, vitamin E, bisdemethoxycurcumin,

The reciprocal regulation of stress hormones and GABAA receptors
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012 Stress-derived steroid hormones regulate the expression and function of GABAA receptors (GABAARs). Changes in GABAAR subunit expression have been demonstrated under conditions of altered steroid hormone levels, such as stress, as well as following ...

Expression of three GnRH receptors in specific tissues in male and female sea lampreys Petromyzon marinus at three distinct life stages [PDF]
, 2013 Two recently cloned gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors (lamprey GnRH-R-2 and lamprey GnRH-R-3) along with lamprey (l) GnRH-R-1 were shown to share similar structural features and amino acid motifs common to other vertebrate receptors.

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Micro‐and nanoplastics (MNPs) are breakdown products of plastics, and humans are exposed to these particles through air, water, food, and soil. There is a growing concern that human exposure to MNPs negatively impacts health. In this review we will discuss the potential health impact of MNPs on ovarian function and the hypothalamic–pituitary ...
