Journal of Endocrinology, 2006 Normal pubertal development in humans involves two distinct processes: maturation of adrenal androgen secretion (adrenarche) and activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis (gonadarche). One factor thought to contribute to the adrenarche in man is increased adrenal 17-hydroxylase (CYP17) activity.

Megakaryocytopoiesis in the Rat [PDF]
Blood, 1965 Abstract Labeling of rat megakaryocytes was observed after a single intravenous injection of tritiated thymidine, and the following conclusions were made. 1. Morphologic appearance of megakaryocytes corresponded to their stage of maturation. 2. Only the youngest recognizable megakaryocytes (stage I) appeared

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Improved timed-mating, non-invasive method using fewer unproven female rats with pregnancy validation via early body mass increases [PDF]
, 2018 For studies requiring accurate conception-timing, reliable, efficient methods of detecting oestrus reduce time and costs, whilst improving welfare. Standard methods use vaginal cytology to stage cycle, and breeders are paired–up using approximately five ...
