Naringin promotes osteoblast differentiation and effectively reverses ovariectomy-associated osteoporosis
(Springer Japan, 2013-05)BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a common pathological condition that influences 20 % of women over 50 years of age. This condition decreases bone strength and increases the risk of bone fracture. Naringin is a major flavonoid ... -
Native grass establishment through seed addition in a southeast Kansas oak savanna restoration
(2013-08)Background/Question/Methods Globally, woody plant population expansion threatens savannas. Restoring savannas from woodlands can involve tree thinning, but often the herbaceous understory is non-existent and potential ... -
Negative influence of O-linked oligosaccharides of high molecular weight equine chorionic gonadotropin on its luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor-binding activities
(The Endocrine Society, 1996-06)Three equine CG (eCG) forms with identical amino acid sequences but different mol wt and monosaccharide compositions were isolated from a crude eCG preparation and designated eCG-L (low mol wt), eCG-M (medium mol wt), and ... -
Neonatal diethylstilbestrol exposure disrupts female reproductive tract structure/function via both direct and indirect mechanisms in the hamster
(2011-09-24)We assessed neonatal diethylstilbestrol (DES)-induced disruption at various endocrine levels in the hamster. In particular, we used organ transplantation into the hamster cheek pouch to determine whether abnormalities ... -
Neonatal diethylstilbestrol treatment alters the estrogen-regulated expression of both cell proliferation and apoptosis-related proto-oncogenes (c-jun, c-fos, c-myc, bax, bcl-2, and bcl-x) in the hamster uterus
(American Association for Cancer Research, 1997-04)In the Syrian hamster, neonatal diethylstilbestrol (DES) treatment and then postpubertal estrogen stimulation induces hyperplasia plus apoptosis (preneoplastic responses) and ultimately neoplasia in the endometrial epithelial ... -
Neonatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol leads to impaired action of androgens in adult male hamsters
(Elsevier, 2004-11)Neonatal treatment with diethylstilbestrol (DES) leads to disruption of spermatogenesis in adult animals after apparently normal testicular development during puberty indicating aberrant androgen action in DES-exposed adult ... -
A new cryptic species and review of the east-Andean leaf chafer genus Mesomerodon Ohaus, 1905 (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2017-04-26)The Neotropical scarab beetle genus Mesomerodon Ohaus (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini) is distributed in the western (lowland) Amazonian region from Colombia to Bolivia. Based on our research, the genus includes three ... -
New Nebraska occurrences of the endangered American burying Beetle (Coleoptera: Silphidae)
(The Coleopterists Society, 1992-12)Six new records for the endangered American burying beetle, Nicrophorus americanus Olivier, are reported from the Nebraska Sandhills. Nebraska is one of only four states in the United States where this beetle remains extant. -
New species and illustrated key of Macraspis (Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae, Rutelini) from the Amazon biome of Brazil
(Pensoft Publishers, 2022-10-17)The phytophagous scarab genus Macraspis MacLeay (Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae, Rutelini) is reviewed from the Brazilian Amazon region. Three new species are described and illustrated from the states of Amazonas, Pará, and ... -
A new species of Parachrysina Bates (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) from Nuevo León, Mexico
(The Coleopterists Society, 1991-09)Parachrysina borealis is described as new, and a revised key to the species is provided. Parachrysina borealis represents the northernmost extent of the genus and is the only species of Areodina known from northeastern Mexico. -
A new species of Pelidnota (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) from Panama
(The Coleopterists Society, 1989-09)Pelidnotah irsutiphallica new species, is described as new from Colón and Bocas del Toro provinces in Panama. It is incorporated into the most recent key to the genus and distinguished from its congeners. -
A new species of Viridimicus Jameson from Honduras (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae)
(The Coleopterists Society, 1999)Viridimicus omoaensis Jameson is described from Honduras. This species extends the distribution of the genus from Guatemala southwards in Mesoamerica. The characters that define the genus are expanded to include V. ... -
Next-generation sampling: pairing genomics with herbarium specimens provides species-level signal in solidago (asteraceae)
(Botanical Society of America, 2015-06)Premise of the study: The ability to conduct species delimitation and phylogeny reconstruction with genomic data sets obtained exclusively from herbarium specimens would rapidly enhance our knowledge of large, taxonomically ... -
Nitrogen-fixation activity and the abundance and taxonomy of nifH genes in agricultural, pristine, and urban prairie stream sediments chronically exposed to different levels of nitrogen loading
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018-05)Small streams exert great influences on the retention and attenuation of nitrogen (N) within stream networks. Human land use can lead to increased transport of dissolved inorganic N compounds and downstream eutrophication. ... -
No interaction between competition and herbivory in limiting introduced Cirsium vulgare rosette growth and reproduction
(Springer, 2009-08)Both competition and herbivory have been shown to reduce plant survival, growth, and reproduction. Much less is known about whether competition and herbivory interact in determining plant performance, especially for ... -
