Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

Carbachol increases intracellular free calcium concentrations in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]

, 1992
We investigated whether the stimulation of human granulosa-lutein cells with muscarinic and nicotinic receptor agonists can cause increases in intracellular free calcium (Ca2+), using Fura-2 microfluorimetry.

Porcine oocyte maturation in vitro : role of cAMP and oocyte-secreted factors: a practical approach [PDF]

, 2016
Polyspermy or the penetration of more than one sperm cell remains a problem during porcine in vitro fertilization (IVF). After in vitro culture of porcine zygotes, only a low percentage of blastocysts develop and their quality is inferior to that of in ...

AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT HYPOCALCEMIA (HYPOPARATHYROIDISM) TYPES 1 AND 2

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Extracellular calcium is essential for life and its concentration in the blood is maintained within a narrow range. This is achieved by a feedback loop that receives input from the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR), expressed on the surface of parathyroid

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)/PTH-related Peptide Type 1 Receptor (PPR) Signaling in Osteocytes Regulates Anabolic and Catabolic Skeletal Responses to PTH*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Background: Osteocytes, the most abundant cells in adult bone, express PPR. Results: Mice with constitutive PPR deletion in osteocytes demonstrate blunted anabolic and catabolic bone responses and the inability to recruit osteoblasts and osteoclasts upon

Angiotensin II Increases Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein (PTHrP) and the Type 1 PTH/PTHrP Receptor in the Kidney [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2002
Angiotensin II (AngII) participates in the pathogenesis of kidney damage. Parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related protein (PTHrP), a vasodilator and mitogenic agent, is upregulated during renal injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential relation between AngII and PTHrP system in the kidney.

Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Intact Parathyroid Hormone Influence Muscle Outcomes in Children and Adolescents [PDF]

, 2018
Increases in 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are shown to improve strength in adults; however, data in pediatric populations are scant and equivocal. In this ancillary study of a larger-scale, multi-sited, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled ...

Type 1 Parathyroid Hormone Receptor Expression Level Modulates Renal Tone and Plasma Renin Activity in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2002
These studies examine whether PTHrP(1-36), a vasodilator, modulates BP and renal vascular resistance (RVR) in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Within the kidney of normotensive rats, PTHrP(1-36) was enriched in vessels. In vessels of SHR, PTHrP was upregulated by 40% and type 1 PTH receptor (PTH1R) was downregulated by 65% compared with ...

The Evolution of Cell Communication: The Road not Taken. [PDF]

, 2009
In the post-genomic era the complex problem of evolutionary biology can be tackled from the top-down, the bottom-up, or from the middle-out. Given the emergent and contingent nature of this process, we have chosen to take the latter approach, both as a ...
