Toll‐like receptor 4 mediates lipopolysaccharide‐induced emesis
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces inflammation and sepsis through Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation. Common laboratory animals do not exhibit emesis, but administration of LPS in piglets, cats, and dogs induces emesis via peripheral mechanisms.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Disruption of the with no lysine kinase-STE20-proline alanine-rich kinase pathway reduces the hypertension induced by angiotensin II [PDF]
, 2018 Objective: The hypertensive effect of angiotensin II (AngII), a peptide hormone, is dependent on its intrarenal actions and the activation of the renal Na–Cl cotransporter (NCC), by AngII requires integrity of the with no lysine kinase/STE20-proline ...

The Placental Transcriptome in Late Gestational Hypoxia Resulting in Murine Intrauterine Growth Restriction Parallels Increased Risk of Adult Cardiometabolic Disease. [PDF]
, 2019 Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) enhances risk for adult onset cardiovascular disease (CVD). The mechanisms underlying IUGR are poorly understood, though inadequate blood flow and oxygen/nutrient provision are considered common endpoints.
