Peripubertal stress-induced behavioral changes are associated with altered expression of genes involved in excitation and inhibition in the amygdala

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Orbicia Riccio Wicht

Early-life stress is a critical risk factor for developing psychopathological alterations later in life. This early adverse environment has been modeled in rats by exposure to stress during the peripubertal period-that is, corresponding to childhood and pu ...

Biochemical Membrane Lipidomics during Drosophila Development

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Xue Li Guan, Ernst Hafen

Lipids play critical roles in energy homeostasis, membrane structure, and signaling. Using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, we provide a comprehensive semiquantification of lipids during the life cycle of Drosophila melanogaster (230 glyceropho ...

Stress during puberty boosts metabolic activation associated with fear-extinction learning in hippocampus, basal amygdala and cingulate cortex

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Adolescence is characterized by major developmental changes that may render the individual vulnerable to stress and the development of psychopathologies in a sex-specific manner. Earlier we reported lower anxiety-like behavior and higher risk-taking and no ...

Perinatal Exposure to Bisphenol A Increases Adult Mammary Gland Progesterone Response and Cell Number

Cathrin Brisken, Jacques Rougemont, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Tamara Tanos, Christina Schrick

Bisphenol A [BPA, 2,2,-bis (hydroxyphenyl) propane] is one of the highest-volume chemicals produced worldwide. It is detected in body fluids of more than 90% of the human population. Originally synthesized as an estrogenic compound, it is currently utilize ...

Stress during adolescence increases novelty seeking and risk-taking behavior in male and female rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Adolescence is a period of major physical, hormonal, and psychological change. It is also characterized by a significant increase in the incidence of psychopathologies and this increase is gender-specific. Likewise, stress during adolescence is associated ...

Distribution of type I collagen morphologies in bone: Relation to estrogen depletion

Blake William Erickson

Bone is an amazing material evolved by nature to elegantly balance structural and metabolic needs in the body. Bone health is an integral part of overall health, but our lack of understanding of the ultrastructure of healthy bone precludes us from knowing ...

SEMI-PERSISTENT SCHEDULING FOR TRAFFIC SPURTS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

Adel Aziz

Techniques for efficiently assigning resources for spurts of traffic in a wireless communication system are described. The system may support semi-persistent and non-persistent resource assignments. A semi-persistent resource assignment is valid for as lon ...

The small heterodimer partner is a gonadal gatekeeper of sexual maturation in male mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

The small heterodimer partner (SHP) is an atypical nuclear receptor known mainly for its role in bile acid homeostasis in the enterohepatic tract. We explore here the role of SHP in the testis. SHP is expressed in the interstitial compartment of the adult ...

Amphiregulin is an essential mediator of estrogen receptor alpha function in mammary gland development

Cathrin Brisken

Most mammary gland development occurs after birth under the control of systemic hormones. Estrogens induce mammary epithelial cell proliferation during puberty via epithelial estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) by a paracrine mechanism. Epidermal growth fact ...

Delay of intracortical bone remodelling following a stress change: a theoretical and experimental study

Alexandre Terrier, Lalaonirina Rakotomanana Ravelonarivo

BACKGROUND: A theoretical model and an experimental setup were specifically designed to identify and determine the delay of the cortical bone response (restricted to mineralization and demineralization) to a stress change. METHODS: The in vivo experiment c ...
