Cervicovaginal secretions contribute to innate resistance to herpes simplex virus infection
(Oxford University Press, 2005-11)
Defining and preserving the innate antiviral activity found in cervicovaginal secretions is critical. Cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) samples were obtained from 20 healthy women and evaluated for anti-herpes simplex virus (HSV) ...
Diversity of floral nectary secretions and structure, and implications for their evolution in Anacardiaceae
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-05)
The flowers of most Anacardiaceae have a floral nectary disk producing nectar rich in sugars. However, a recent study demonstrated that their nectaries might also produce other substances, including lipids and phenolic ...
Elaiophores in Gomesa bifolia (Sims) M.W. Chase & N.H. Williams (Oncidiinae: Cymbidieae: Orchidaceae): Structure and oil secretion
(Oxford University Press, 2009-08)
Background and Aims Oils are an unusual floral reward in Orchidaceae, being produced by specialized glands called elaiophores. Such glands have been described in subtribe Oncidiinae for a few species. The aims of the present ...
Hydrophobic proteins secreted into the apoplast may contribute to resistance against Phytophthora infestans in potato
(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2012-07)
During plantepathogen interaction, oomycetes secrete effectors into the plant apoplast where they interact with host resistance proteins, which are accumulated after wounding or infection. Previous studies showed that the ...
TGFβ1 regulates prolactin secretion during postnatal development: gender differences
(BioScientifica, 2020-07)
Serum prolactin levels gradually increase from birth to puberty in both male and female rats, with higher levels observed in female since the first days of life. The increase in lactotroph secretion was attributed to the ...
Secretory Autophagy and Its Relevance in Metabolic and Degenerative Disease
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-05)
Proteins to be secreted through so-called “conventional mechanisms” are characterized by the presence of an N-terminal peptide that is a leader or signal peptide, needed for access to the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi ...
Chemical defense in harvestmen (Arachnida, Opiliones): Do benzoquinone secretions deter invertebrate and vertebrate predators?
(Springer, 2005-11)
Two alkylated 1,4-benzoquinones were identified from the defensive secretion produced by the neotropical harvestman Goniosoma longipes (Gonyleptidae). They were characterized as 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone and ...
Atrial natriuretic factor stimulates exocrine pancreatic secretion in the rat through NPR-C receptors
(American Physiological Society, 2003-06)
Increasing evidence supports the role of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in the modulation of gastrointestinal physiology. The effect of ANF on exocrine pancreatic secretion and the possible receptors and pathways involved ...

Effects of chronic Staphylococcus aureus infection on immunological parameters and functionality of macrophages isolated from bovine mammary secretions
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-09)
The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of chronic S. aureus intramammary infection (IMI) on local innate and adaptive immune response during active involution. Cows in late lactation that were either uninfected ...
