Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel is a non-selective cation channel and its role in cutaneous thermosensation is emerging. It is expressed in many areas of the brain including the preoptic area (POA)/anterior hypothalamus which is the key neural site for thermoregulation.

Recently, it was shown that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contaminated with the fungus Trichosporon beigelii produces an intense fever when the organism is microinjected directly into the thermosensitive region of the anterior hypothalamic preoptic area (AH/POA). The purpose of this study was to

Modern out-of-season egg production in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) increases the risk of postovulatory aging (POA) of oocytes. Postovulatory aging is known to influence oocyte quality in salmonids, but reliable tests for POA are lacking in Atlantic salmon egg production. To address this problem,

Subfertility and severe pelvic pains are symptoms associated with endometriosis (ENDO), a common condition among women that is characterized by the growth of the uterine endometrium on the surface of organs within the pelvic region and abdominal cavity. The contribution of the CNS to symptoms

Previously it was reported that a control saline solution infused into the anterior hypothalamic, preoptic area (AH/POA) can induce an intense fever from an unknown source. To avoid such fevers, cerebral dialysis has been proposed as an alternative procedure, although in nearly all experiments on

Adult male and female air-breathing catfish Clarias gariepinus were treated with ethynylestradiol (EE(2)) and methyltestosterone (MT) at concentrations of 1microg/L, respectively for 21 days. EE(2) treatment caused disappearance of spermatids/sperm from several testicular lumen/lobules in males

Galanin is a conserved neuropeptide involved in parental care and feeding. While galanin is known to mediate parental care and infanticide in rodents, its role in parental care and feeding behaviors in other taxa, particularly fishes, remains poorly understood. Mouthbrooding is an extreme form of

Pyrazinamidase (PZase) is a member of Fe-dependent amidohydrolases that activates pyrazinamide (PZA) into active pyrazinoic acid (POA). PZA, a nicotinamide analogue, is an essential first-line drug used in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) treatment. The active form of PZA, POA, is toxic and potently

Systemic injection of repeated doses of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in attenuation of the febrile response, i.e. endotoxin tolerance, which has been fairly well characterized in rats. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that endotoxin tolerance also occurs after

Anguina pacificae is distributed along a narrow strip on the Pacific coast of Northern California where it forms galls on the shoots of Poa annua and causes significant damage to golf course greens. Methods were developed for the continuous propagation of A. pacificae on P. annua in growth chambers,
