The release of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) from the corticotrophs is controlled principally by vasopressin and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Oxytocin may augment the release of ACTH under certain conditions, whereas atrial natriuretic peptide ...

Abstract Ileostomy creation is common among patients with colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Surgical removal or diversion of the colon can result in nutrition complications, most notably dehydration—a leading cause of hospital readmission—and increased risk of kidney injury.

ABSTRACT Purpose Metabolite concentrations can be determined from proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) data using water as an internal reference. This calculation requires tissue‐specific water T1 and T2 relaxation constants and proton density (PD).

Smart molecular design for functional cellulose gels and flexible devices
This review systematically outlines the performance enhancement of cellulose gels, presenting optimization strategies across molecular, supramolecular, and macroscopic scales. It discusses advanced approaches to improve their mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, and highlights promising applications in flexible robotics, electric devices, e ...

This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Male-female comparison of vasomotor effects of circulating hormones in human intracranial arteries
Background The purpose of this study was to examine whether there are sex differences in vasomotor responses and receptor localization of hormones and neuropeptides with relevance to migraine (vasopressin, oxytocin, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone ...

Evolutionary aspects in evaluating mutations in the melanocortin 4 receptor [PDF]
More than 70 missense mutations have been identified in the human melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), and many of them have been associated with obesity. In a number of cases, the causal link between mutations in MC4R and obesity is controversially discussed.

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Vasopressin receptor-mediated endocytosis in cells transfected with V1-type vasopressin receptors
We examined the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis in A-9 lung fibroblast and chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with the recently cloned vasopressin V1a receptor (51). We used a fluorescent labeled vasopressin analog (rhodamine-mercaptopropionic acid lysine vasopressin) and radiolabeled vasopressin to examine this process in the two ...
