Oxytocin receptor antagonism during early vocal learning reduces song preference and imitation in zebra finches

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
In species with vocal learning, acquiring species-typical vocalizations relies on early social orienting. In songbirds, for example, learning song requires dynamic social interactions with a “tutor” during an early sensitive period. Here, we hypothesized

Genome Manipulation Advances in Selected Aquaculture Organisms

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT With the rising global demand for seafood and the challenges posed by overfishing and climate change, the aquaculture sector has become increasingly important in providing high‐quality protein for human consumption. Although traditional selection breeding programs have made great strides in genetic improvement of aquaculture species over the ...

Quercetin, Isoquercitrin, and Quercetin‐3‐Rutinoside: Understanding the Pharmacological, Organoleptic, ADME Properties, Human Health Toxicity, Ecological Risk, and Cosmetic Risk of Using Integrative Bioinformatics

open access: yesJournal of Food Quality, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Bioactive flavonoids have been presently used from therapeutics to cosmetics. Such bioactive flavonoids are Quercetin and its derivatives, (Isoquercitrin and Quercetin‐3‐rutinoside). The present study evaluated the physicochemical and medicinal chemistry properties of Quercetin, Isoquercitrin, and Quercetin‐3‐rutinoside.

Arginine Vasotocin Preprohormone Is Expressed in Surprising Regions of the Teleost Forebrain

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
Nonapeptides play a fundamental role in the regulation of social behavior, among numerous other functions. In particular, arginine vasopressin and its non-mammalian homolog, arginine vasotocin (AVT), have been implicated in regulating affiliative ...

Differential temporal decline of cerebral oxytocin and μ‐opioid receptor density during the aging process in mice

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 60, Issue 11, Page 6686-6703, December 2024.
This study investigates the age‐dependent variations in Mu‐opioid receptor (MOPr) and oxytocin receptor (OTR) in mice from adolescence to geriatric age. The tipping point in OTR occurred at an earlier age than MOPR. This study may explain the onset of certain age‐related disorders mediated by OTR and MOPr.

Dimensions of parenting during infancy: Testing a latent bifactor model

open access: yesSocial Development, Volume 33, Issue 4, November 2024.
Abstract In the current paper, we examined the dimensional structure of parenting using a bifactor model of observed parenting domains during infancy. We validated our parenting dimensions by examining correlations with indicators of family well‐being and child development. Data come from a longitudinal cohort that recruited a diverse sample of mothers

Impact of Air Exposure on Vasotocinergic and Isotocinergic Systems in Gilthead Sea Bream (Sparus aurata): New Insights on Fish Stress Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
The hypothalamus-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) and hypothalamus-sympathetic-chromaffin cell (HSC) axes are involved in the regulation of the stress response in teleost.

Angiotensin-(1-7) increases osmotic water permeability in isolated toad skin

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) increased osmotic water permeability in the isolated toad skin, a tissue with functional properties similar to those of the distal mammalian nephron. Concentrations of 0.1 to 10 µM were effective, with a peak at 20 min. This

Arginine vasotocin receptor in the vagina of the oviduct of the hen

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1998
The presence of receptor for arginine vasotocin (AVT) in the vagina of the oviduct of the hen was demonstrated by the use of radioligand binding assays on membrane fractions of the tissue. The binding to [125I]AVT was highly competitive with unlabeled AVT. Scatchard analysis revealed that the binding sites are of a single class.

Status-Dependent Vasotocin Modulation of Dominance and Subordination in the Weakly Electric Fish Gymnotus omarorum

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Dominant-subordinate status emerges from agonistic encounters. The weakly electric fish, Gymnotus omarorum, displays a clear-cut example of non-breeding territorial aggression.
