Androgens are pleiotropic and play pivotal roles in the formation variation of sexual phenotypes. We show that differences circulating androgens between three male mating morphs ruff sandpipers linked to 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (HSD17B2), encoded by a gene within supergene determines morphs. Low-testosterone males had higher HSD17B2 expression blood than high-testosterone males, as well brain areas related social behaviors testosterone production. Derived isozymes, which...
Abstract Background Vitamin C (VC) is an indispensable antioxidant and co-factor for optimal function development of eukaryotic cells. In animals, VC can be synthesized by the organism, acquired through diet, or both. single synthesis pathway described in penultimate step catalysed Regucalcin, last l -gulonolactone oxidase (GULO). The GULO gene has been implicated only, while Regucalcin shown to have multiple functions mammals. Results Both found non-bilaterian, protostome deuterostome...
Physiological regulation of body temperature, set at a high level, is one the key features endothermic homeotherms, such as birds and mammals. However, many mammals some have evolved ability for temporal down-regulation core temperature. We investigated how variation in environment temperature habitat primary productivity determine daily among mammalian species. Nearly half minimum species was explained by both environmental Mammals expressing low inhabited regions annual with wide seasonal...
Abstract Daily heterothermy is a strategy employed by endothermic birds and mammals to reduce their energetic costs lowering metabolic rate. We recorded nocturnal diurnal rectal temperatures in three Moroccan Gerbillus rodent species determine the level of heterothermy. A decrease body temperature from night day was observed an average (±SD) 8.7 (±4.2) G. gerbillus , 11.1 (±3.0) amoenus 7.7 (±3.3)°C sp.1, first records species. The findings support prediction that daily found arid semi-arid...
Os desafios que a Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Organizacionais (SBEO) encara hoje sao, ainda historia nao se repita, semelhantes aos Diretoria nos antecedeu enfrentava.
