Background Astrocytic aromatization and consequent increases in estradiol are neuroprotective in the injured brain. In zebra finches, cyclooxygenase-activity is necessary for injury-induced aromatase expression, and increased central estradiol lowers ...

In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

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.

Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1: the inducible synthase for prostaglandin E2.
Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is an inducible enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of prostaglandin (PG)H2 to PGE2. Proinflammatory stimuli markedly increase levels of mPGES-1 expression both in vivo and in vitro. mPGES-1 knockout studies and animal models of inflammatory arthritis also provide a strong basis for the contribution of ...

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 effect of agility exercise on eicosanoid excretion, oxidant status, and plasma lactate in dogs
Background The objective was to determine the effects of agility exercise on dogs of different skill levels with respect to urinary eicosanoids, urinary 15F2t-isoprostane (lipid peroxidation marker) and hematological/biochemical changes in plasma ...
