Stress, sleep, and sex: A review of endocrinological research in Octodon degus
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2019)
The Common Degu (Octodon degus) is a small rodent endemic to central Chile. It has become an important model for comparative vertebrate endocrinology because of several uncommon life-history features - it is diurnal, shows ...
Testicular adrenal rest tumors and Leydig and Sertoli cell function in boys with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia
(Endocrine Society, 2007)
Context: Infertility observed in adult males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) has been associated with testicular adrenal rest tumors (TART) that may originate during childhood. Objective: Our objective was to ...
Why goldfish? Merits and challenges in employing goldfish as a model organism in comparative endocrinology research
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-02)
Goldfish has been used as an unconventional model organism to study a number of biological processes. For example, goldfish is a well-characterized and widely used model in comparative endocrinology, especially in ...
When genetic load does not correlate with phenotypic spectrum: Lessons from the GnRH receptor (GNRHR)
(2012)
Context: A broad spectrum of GnRH-deficient phenotypes has been identified in individuals with both mono- and biallelic GNRHR mutations. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the correlation between the ...
Progesterone promotes focal adhesion formation and migration in breast cancer cells through induction of protease-activated receptor-1
(2012)
Progesterone and progestins have been demonstrated to enhance breast cancer cell migration, although the mech- anisms are still not fully understood. The protease-activated receptors (PARs) are a family of membrane receptors ...
