Provocative Tests of the Hypothalamic-Anterior Pituitary-Target Organ Axis [PDF]

, 2019
Anterior pituitary peptide hormones which circulate at nanogram or picogram levels are readily measurable under basal conditions by radioligand assay. In addition, functional reserve may be further assessed by the use of specific provocative tests 'aimed'

Body size, nutritional state and endocrine state are associated with calving probability in a long‐lived marine species

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study develops an approach to model multiple health indicators in long‐lived species. Gray whale calving probability emerges from the combined effect of structural body size and available energy reserves. Activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis may also affect reproduction.

Chemometrics-aided Surface-enhanced Raman spectrometric detection and quantification of GH and TE hormones in blood [PDF]

arXiv
This work explores the use of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) combined with artificial neural network (ANN) models to detect and quantify growth hormone (GH) and testosterone (TE) in the blood of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. SERS spectra were recorded from blood samples of SD rats injected with GH, TE, both hormones, and non-injected controls ...

Early positive tactile stimulation reverses the increase of anxiety and decrease of sociality induced by early chronic mechanical pain in mandarin voles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study used a tail‐pinching model during development to simulate mechanical pain experienced by pups in high‐social mandarin voles (Microtus mandarinus). Subsequently, brush‐like positive tactile stimuli were applied to the backs of the mandarin voles.

Can Fecal T3 Metabolite Level Fluctuations in European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Give Insights on Body Condition and Thermal Stress?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
European roe deer fecal samples were assayed to investigate the potential fluctuations of fecal thyroid hormone metabolites (FTMs) in response to environmental (e.g., the temperature, local densities) and individual (e.g., sex, age, body, and nutritional conditions) variables.

Body Mass Index, Sleep Quality, Stress Conditions Determine Menstrual Cycles Among Female Adolescents [PDF]

, 2019
Menstrual cycles are an important indicator of women's health. Menstrual cycles can be affected by body mass index (BMI), sleep quality, and stress. This study aimed to analyse the relationship between BMI, sleep quality, stress and the menstrual cycle ...

Aging‐Associated Vacuolation of Multi‐Ciliated Cells in the Distal Mouse Oviduct Reflects Unique Cell Identity and Luminal Microenvironment

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Multi‐ciliated cells in the infundibulum and ampulla (INF/AMP) epithelium are vacuolated in aging. Unique cellular susceptibility of the INF/AMP epithelial population and aging‐associated decline in ovarian artery circulation, which supports the ovary and INF/AMP, contribute to this region‐specific vacuolation phenotype, as a consequence of a mildly ...

Detecting Glioma, Meningioma, and Pituitary Tumors, and Normal Brain Tissues based on Yolov11 and Yolov8 Deep Learning Models [PDF]

arXiv
Accurate and quick diagnosis of normal brain tissue Glioma, Meningioma, and Pituitary Tumors is crucial for optimal treatment planning and improved medical results. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for detecting brain abnormalities, including tumors.
