Influence of energy level during gestation on the postpartum endocrine system in the mare
Eight pregnant mares were randomly allotted to receive 100 and 120% of the recommended digestible energy (DE) (NRC, 1978), respectively, for the last 90 d of gestation. During the first 30 d of lactation, all mares were fed the NRC (1978) recommendations for lactation. The 120% DE-fed mares had an …

Investigating the endocrine disrupting potential and cytotoxic effects of packaging leachates and plasticisers
Endocrine disrupting chemicals are compounds which can alter the function(s) of the endocrine system by disrupting natural signalling, production and secretion of hormones, contributing to a wide range of adverse health effects. Plastic packaging and films have been identified to leach …

THE ROLE OF DMRT GENES DURING NEUROGENESIS IN THE ZEBRAFISH FOREBRAIN
… the development of the telencephalon, olfactory system and the neuro-endocrine system. In parallel, I was able to knock-out dmrt3 in zebrafish by introducing frameshift mutations of variable length into the dmrt3 locus using zinc finger nucleases. These dmrt3 mutants provide an important tool for …

Les perturbateurs endocriniens : les défis entourant la réglementation de ces substances chimiques au niveau international, canadien et européen
Endocrine disrupters (EDs) are chemicals known to prevent the proper functioning of the endocrine system. Their presence in the environment is linked to the prevalence of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, breast, testicular, prostate and brain cancer, obesity, neurobehavioural disorders, …

Depression, Self-Care, and Coping in Persons with Diabetes
<p>Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disorder of the endocrine system that affects virtually every system of the human body. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates there are over 16 million persons with diabetes in the United States alone. Hyperglycemia, which is sustained over a …

The Effect of Feeding, Bilateral Parotidectomy, and Pilocarpine Treatment on Parotid Hormone Secretion in the Pig
… a potent stimulus for PH secretion. The parotid endocrine system is highly sensitive to the eating stimulus, since a period of feeding lasting 30 sec is enough to cause a significant increase in PH secretion. The parotid glands are the principal source of PH as shown by the marked decrease in …
