Aspirin Inhibition of Prostaglandin Synthesis Impairs Mosquito Egg Development
Several endocrine signals mediate mosquito egg development, including 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). This study reports on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as an additional, but core, mediator of oogenesis in a human disease-vectoring mosquito, Aedes albopictus ...

Modeling of biological doses and mechanical effects on bone transduction [PDF]
Shear stress, hormones like parathyroid and mineral elements like calcium mediate the amplitude of stimulus signal which affects the rate of bone remodeling. The current study investigates the theoretical effects of different metabolic doses in stimulus signal level on bone.

Approaches to Potentiated Neuroprotective Treatment in the Rodent Model of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) commonly causes sudden optic nerve (ON)-related vision loss. The rodent NAION model (rAION) closely resembles NAION in presentation and physiological responses.

Observations from 1930 to 1934 have indicated autopharmacological effects of human seminal fluid. The active principle was shown to be an unsaturated lipid‐soluble acid. After isolation in 1960 of two closely related compounds, the chemical constitution was established.

Gender-typical olfactory regulation of sexual behavior in goldfish
It is known that olfaction is essential for the occurrence of sexual behavior in male goldfish. Sex pheromones from ovulatory females elicit male sexual behavior, chasing and sperm releasing act.

In autumn calving dairy herds, treatment of cattle not observed in estrus prior to the breeding season is common. Routinely, a single prostaglandin or a modified Ovsynch (MOFT) protocol are used—without evidence of their relative effectiveness.

Abstract Ocular allergies are becoming more prevalent as more airborne pollutants, irritants and microbes pervade our environment. Inflammatory and allergic mediators released by dendritic and mast cells within the conjunctiva cause allergic conjunctivitis (AC), a prevalent ocular surface disorder that affects >40% of the world's human population on a ...

The role of PAF in immunopathology: From immediate hypersensitivity reactions to fungal defense
Abstract Platelet‐activating factor (PAF, 1‐alkyl‐2‐acetyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphorylcholine) was discovered when the mechanisms involved in the deposition of immune complex in tissues were being scrutinized in the experimental model of rabbit serum sickness.
