Abstract The effects of gonadal steroids on brain serotonin (5‐HT) and aromatase activity during the critical period sexual differentiation were investigated in tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus . Treatment tilapia with 17β‐oestradiol (E 2 ) between days 7 10 posthatching resulted a significant increase female : male ratio as determined at day 90, reduction 5‐HT content. 20, or 20 30, had no effect. Since system may influence differentiation, we examined para ‐chlorophenylalanine ( p ‐CPA),...
Background and purpose High‐grade cervical carotid stenosis (70–99%) or occlusion often accompanies reversed ophthalmic artery flow ( ROAF ), but its potential clinical significances remain poor understood. This study assessed the related variables caused by hemodynamic compromise in patients with unilateral severe stenosis. Methods The consisted of 200 diagnosed as high‐grade stenosis/occlusion using ultrasonography. parameters 152 patients, excluding 48 occlusion, were compared based on...
Unilateral kidney hypoplasia is a congenital condition characterized by the underdevelopment of one kidney.
