Mushrooms have an established history of use in traditional oriental medicine, where most medicinal mushroom preparations are regarded as a tonic, that is, they

We examined differences in the fear response between Bengalese finches and their wild ancestor, the white-backed munia, to explore the evolutionary mechanisms of behavioural changes due to domestication. The Bengalese finch (Lonchura striata var. domestica) was domesticated from the wild-living

Adaptations to captivity that reduce fitness are one of many reasons, which explain the low success rate of reintroductions. One way of testing this hypothesis is to compare an important behavioural response in captive and wild members of the same species. Thanatosis, is an anti-predator strategy

As a famous tonic medicine, Cistanche tubulosa has been honored as "ginseng of the deserts" for centuries. Aiming to address the resource shortage as well as the wild resource protection towards this herbal medicine, wide cultivation has been achieved in the southern Xinjiang. Herein, in-depth

Numerous stressors disrupt male reproductive physiology; previous studies of a population of wild baboons, living freely in a national park in East Africa, indicated that the stress of anesthetization by phencyclidine darting decreased both LH secretion and testicular sensitivity to LH. This study

While personality-dependent dispersal is well studied, local space use has received surprisingly little attention in this context, despite the multiple consequences on survival and fitness. Regarding the coping style of individuals, recent studies on personality-dependent space use within a habitat

The semimembranosus (SM) and triceps brachii (TB) muscles from wild pigs native to Florida. USA, were evaluated for histological characteristics. All three fiber types were present in both muscles in varying proportions, reflecting differences between tonic and phasic functioning muscles. Typical

Mexiletine is a class 1b antiarrhythmic drug used for ventricular arrhythmias but is also found to be effective for paramyotonia congenita, potassium-aggravated myotonia, long QT-3 syndrome, and neuropathic pain. This drug elicits tonic block of Na(+) channels when cells are stimulated infrequently

The medicinal use of mushrooms has a very long tradition in Asian countries because of their use as a valuable tonic, food, and in herbal medicines. A study was carried out to document the indigenous uses of various mushrooms growing in the Kashmir Himalayas. After consulting local herbal healers

The role of Galpha(i)-2 overexpression in desensitization of beta-adrenergic signaling in heart failure is controversial. An adenovirus-based approach was used to investigate whether overexpression of Galpha(i)-2 impairs beta-adrenergic stimulation of adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity and cAMP levels

Spontaneously epileptic rats (SER) are homozygous for two mutations, zitter (zi) and tremor (tm), and spontaneously exhibit both absence-like seizure and tonic convulsion. In addition, wild jumping or running episodes sometimes appear without any previous stimuli. We recorded the behaviour on a

The mutant γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA ) receptor γ2(Q390X) subunit (Q351X in the mature peptide) has been associated with the epileptic encephalopathy, Dravet syndrome, and the epilepsy syndrome genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). The mutation generates a premature stop codon

Ginseng is a shade-loving perennial herb that is cultivated mainly in Korea, Japan, and China. The ginseng root has been used as a tonic remedy, and its antidiabetic activity has been demonstrated as early as 1920s. Although wild ginseng was anecdotally thought to be superior to cultivated ginseng

Using extracellular single-unit recordings, we have determined the characteristics of neurons in the ventral tuberomammillary nucleus (VTM) of wild-type (WT) and histidine decarboxylase knock-out (HDC-KO) mice during the sleep-waking cycle. The VTM neurons of HDC-KO mice showed no histamine

Food-medicine plants play an important role in providing nutrition and treating chronic diseases, especially in many minority communities and developing regions. The coastal region of South China has abundant resources of medicinal plants. A long history of cross-cultural medicinal practices among
