Modeling Iodine Deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
This paper presents a four-unit, four-component mathematical model of iodine metabolism and its impact on thyroid hormone levels in the body. We focus on the relationships between iodine (I-), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) through the mixer, thyroid, sensor (pituitary gland), and metabolism. Iodine plays a

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Thyroid Hormone Levels and Bisphenol A in Children Aged 6−14 Years

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The incidence of hypothyroidism in childhood is increasing. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of exposure to bisphenol A, an environmental endocrine disruptor, and its substitutes in the development of hypothyroidism.

A randomized double-blind study of the effect of triiodothyronine on cardiac function and morbidity after coronary bypass surgery [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Background: Although triiodothyronine deficiency has been described after cardiopulmonary bypass, data supporting its use have been conflicting.

CLLAF SCORE—A New Risk Score for Predicting Atrial Fibrillation in Treatment‐Naive CLL Patients Initiating First‐ and Second‐Generation BTK Inhibitor Therapy

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background One of the limiting toxicities of BTKi is the development of atrial fibrillation (AF), with an incidence of 3%–16%. Aim This study aimed to identify patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) starting both first‐ and second‐generation BTKis who are at high risk of developing AF using a machine learning approach.

Comparative aspects of resistance to body-cooling in newborn lambs and kids : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
THE PROBLEM OF PERINATAL MORTALITY IN LAMBS AND KIDS Fibre-producing goats are becoming an increasingly important species on New Zealand farms. There is a considerable lack of information about the physiology of goats, especially as it relates to the ...

d‐amino acids: new functional insights

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This review explores recent advances in understanding d‐amino acids (d‐AAs) and their pivotal roles across organisms, from plants to humans. d‐AAs have been implicated in key physiological processes, including cancer, inflammation, immune regulation, kidney disease, diabetes, and nervous system function.

Tibetan sheep are better able to cope with low energy intake than Small-tailed Han sheep due to lower maintenance energy requirements and higher nutrient digestibilities

open access: yes, 2019
Tibetan sheep are indigenous to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and are well-adapted to and even thrive under the harsh alpine conditions. Small-tailed Han sheep were introduced to the plateau because of their high prolificacy and are maintained mainly

Hypotheses in light detection by vertebrate ancient opsin in the bird brain

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Extra‐retinal photoreception is common across fish and avian species. In birds, the hypothalamus contains non‐visual photoreceptors that detect light and regulate multiple endocrine systems. To date, light‐dependent control of seasonal reproduction is one of the most well‐studied systems that require deep brain photoreception.

A skin explant model for studying UV‐induced DNA damage and repair

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The study describes an ex vivo skin model that preserves the natural physiology of the skin while addressing ethical concerns related to animal research. We demonstrate this model maintains key characteristics and physiological responses of in vivo skin during short incubation periods. Moreover, this model requires fewer mice than in vivo testing, thus
