The effect of boron supplementation on bone mineral density and hormonal status in college female athletes
… to determine their bone mineral density and hormonal status following 10 months of supplementation with boron. Seventeen of the subjects were college athletes (A) who participated in either varsity basketball, tennis, track, triathlons, or volleyball. Eleven eumenorrheic subjects were placed …

Influence of Thyroid Hormonal Status on Gene Expression for Calcium Channels in the Developing Olfactory Bulb and Cerebellum of the Postnatal Rat
Based on our PCR results, it appears that the expression for these calcium channel genes is differentially regulated. In terms of development, the expression is tied more closely to development in the cerebellum than in the olfactory bulb. While expression appears to be regulated developmentally …

Estrogen replacement in ovariectomized rats fed safflower oil, coconut oil or cocoa butter: the effects on blood lipids and lipoproteins
… of type of dietary fat could be modified by hormonal status. Ovariectomized and shamoperated retired breeders were fed, for 56 days, diets containing 23% coconut oil, safflower oil or cocoa butter. All diets contained 0.5% cholesterol and 0.5% sodium glycotaurocholate. During the last 28 days …

Binding of Steroid Hormones In Vitro by Water-Insoluble Dietary Fiber
… These results suggest that diet may modify hormonal status, possibly through binding of steroid hormones by dietary fiber, leading to altered enterohepatic circulation of these hormones.</p>

Hypoxia and Hypoxia-Inducible Factors in Normal and Malignant Breast Epithelium
… related factors such as tumor stage, grade, hormonal status, HER2 status, patient age, and family history to name a few. It is today widely acknowledged that hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF:s) contribute to tumor progression. We therefore set out to explore the impact of hypoxia on …

Taurine's effect on cocaine reward and neurogenesis in the adolescent male rat brain.
… place preference paradigm, independent of hormonal status. Taurine has also been shown to be a neuroprotectant and neurogenic. In these studies, taurine was tested as a protectant against cocaine reward by increasing neurogenesis in the brain in adolescent males. Using a conditioned place …

Propionate induces gluconeogenesis in dairy cattle through direct activation of the bovine cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene promoter
… on expression of PCK1 mRNA under controlled hormonal status in cultured primary bovine hepatocytes; 3) the effect of propionate on the transcriptional activity of the bovine PCK1 promoter; 4) the molecular mechanism and cis-elements within the bovine PCK1 promoter responsible for the …

A Morphological Study of Paracrine Interactions in the Anterior Pituitary of Lactating Rats Using Immunogold Techniques
… two pups. These values were correlated with the hormonal status of the animals in each study group and to the level of lactational stimulus determined by the number of suckling pups.</p> <p>The results show a high degree of negative linearity (r = 0.99) between serum prolactin and the number of …

METHODOLOGIES FOR ESTIMATING REPEATABILITY AND REPRODUCIBILITY VARIANCES IN MULTIVARIATE DATABASES
… time effects, biological effects such as diet or hormonal status, and other blocking factors or variability sources: samples stability, age of the individuals, pH of a buffer, days of acquisition, and so on. Analysis of these databases needs to extract from the spectral data matrix the variations …

Age-Related Effects on the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase and Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Pathways in Breast Cancer and the Characterization of Novel MEK5 Inhibitors
… of pharmaceutical interventions based on patient hormonal status and age and suggest the important role of the novel protein kinase, ERK5, in cell invasion and migration. The characterization of a series of diphenyl aniline compounds revealed a putative MEK5 inhibitor capable of reducing cell …

Central and peripheral molecular profiling of sex differences in schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and controls
… males and females. Furthermore, sex and female hormonal status should routinely be taken into account during design and analysis of psychiatric molecular data to increase the reproducibility of such studies. This research shows that failing to consider these in biomarker studies can result in a …

The Proverbial Ticking Biological Clock: A Symbolic TMT Perspective on Mate Perception
… do women in a low fertility phase or women using hormonal contraception. However, mortality salience has been shown to influence mate selection. The current study explored whether or not a cue related to fertility salience may produce similar outcomes to cues of mortality salience observed in past …

Osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis
… the extent of the bone loss. Nutritional status and skinfold thickness did not correlate with bone mass. Dietary factors played no role in the genesis of bone loss, but may have had some effect on disease activity. Metacarpal measurements showed a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 85% …

Secretory immunity in overweight and obese versus normal-weight early-and late-pubertal females
… compared with NW girls, regardless of maturity status. The altered levels of melatonin, Cortisol, and testosterone, would result in decreased M/C and T/C ratios, despite the increase in testosterone in OB females. It was hypothesized that this altered hormonal status results in a compromised …
