These neurons have a dendritic distribution that projects to the lateral, medial and ventral regions of the gray matter. Values for soma size, primary dendrite length and arborization area obtained from intact animals that were in diestrous-2, were significantly reduced following ovariectomy. After hormone priming of the ovariectomized animals with estradiol benzoate and progesterone, an additional injection of estradiol benzoate alone or followed by progesterone increased the labeled length of the primary dendrites distributed to the lateral, but not to the medial or ventral regions of the gray matter in the spinal cord. However, dendritic labeling was not significantly increased when only progesterone was additionally injected. It therefore seems that pubococcygeus muscle motoneurons of the female rat are sensitive to the effects of gonadal hormones.","note":"","tags":"ORIGINAL report, Rats, Anatomy, Neurobiology, Reproduction,","publisher":"","booktitle":"","editor":"","address":"","school":"","issn":"0306-4522","isi":"","key":"Cuevas2006","howpublished":""} , {userid:"s.davis", "refid":34,"repocollections":"","attachment":"","_thumb":"","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"The wasp family Spathiopterygidae in mid-Cretaceous amber from Myanmar \t(Hymenoptera: Diaprioidea).","year":"2015","author":"Engel, M.S., Huang, D., Azar, D., Nel, A., Davis, S.R., Alvarado, M., Breitkreuz, L.C.V.","journal":"Comptes Rendus Palevol","volume":"14","number":"2","pages":"95-100","month":"","doi":"","pubmed":"","pdflink":"","urllink":"","abstract":"","note":"","tags":"","weight":34} , {userid:"azar", "refid":"205","repocollections":"","attachment":"","_thumb":"","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"The wasp family Spathiopterygidae in mid-Cretaceous amber from Myanmar (Hymenoptera: Diaprioidea)","year":"2015","author":"M.S.

Here, we show that p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) associates to caspase-8 and caspase-3 during neutrophil apoptosis and that p38-MAPK activity, previously shown to be a survival signal in these primary cells, correlates with the levels of caspase-8 and caspase-3 phosphorylation. In in vitro experiments, immunoprecipitated active p38-MAPK phosphorylated and inhibited the activity of the active p20 subunits of caspase-8 and caspase-3. Phosphopeptide mapping revealed that these phosphorylations occurred on serine-364 and serine-150, respectively. Introduction of mutated (S150A), but not wild-type, TAT-tagged caspase-3 into primary neutrophils made the Fas-induced apoptotic response insensitive to p38-MAPK inhibition. Consequently, p38-MAPK can directly phosphorylate and inhibit the activities of caspase-8 and caspase-3 and thereby hinder neutrophil apoptosis, and, in so doing, regulate the inflammatory response.","address":"","school":"","issn":"","doi":"10.1084\/jem.20031771","isi":"","pubmed":"","key":"Alvarado-Kristensson2004","howpublished":"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/14970175","urllink":"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/14970175","refid":77} , {userid:"azar", "refid":"232","repocollections":"","attachment":"","_thumb":"","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"The first Mesozoic microwhip scorpion (Palpigradi): a new genus and species in mid-Cretaceous amber from Myanmar.","year":"2016","author":"M.S.

However, the action of these hormones on pelvic nondimorphic muscles is not known. In the present study, the sensitivity of the male rat pubococcygeus muscle (Pcm) to gonadal hormones was studied measuring the cross-sectional area (CSA) of its fibers. For this, two experiments were done: in the first, the effect of castration, and in the second the effect of gonadal hormone administration was analyzed. We found that castration after 6 weeks significantly reduced the average CSA of the fibers of this muscle and that castration after 2 or 6 weeks reduced the percentage of fibers with higher CSAs, but only castration after 6 weeks increased the percentage of fibers with the lowest CSA. In comparison with castrated animals implanted with an empty Silastic capsule, Silastic implants of testosterone propionate or dihydrotestosterone significantly increased the average CSA of Pcm fibers, and the treatment with testosterone propionate, estradiol benzoate, or dihydrotestosterone decreased the percentage of fibers with low CSAs and increased the percentage with larger CSAs. Our results could be considered for therapy in patients with damage of the Pcm, and suffering urinary incontinence or ejaculatory dysfunctions.","note":"","tags":"ORIGINAL report, Rats, Anatomy, Hormones, Reproduction,","publisher":"","booktitle":"","editor":"","address":"","school":"","issn":"1932-8486","isi":"","key":"Alvarado2008","howpublished":""} , {userid:"robyn.hudson", "refid":"194","repocollections":"","attachment":"","_thumb":"","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"Inner capillary diameter of hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus of female rat increases during lactation.","year":"2013","author":"A Corte\u0301s-Sol, M Lara-Garc\u00eda, M Alvarado, R Hudson, P Berbel, P Pacheco","journal":"BMC Neuroscience","volume":"14","number":"7","pages":"","month":"","doi":"10.1186\/1471-2202-14-7","pubmed":"","pdflink":"","urllink":"http:\/\/www.biomedcentral.com\/1471-2202\/14\/7","abstract":"Background: The role of the endothelial cell (EC) in blood flow regulation within the central nervous system has been little studied. Here, we explored EC participation in morphological changes of the anterior hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) microvasculature of female rats at two reproductive stages with different metabolic demand (virginity and lactation). We measured the inner capillary diameter (ICD) of 800 capillaries from either to the magnocellular or parvocellular regions. The space occupied by neural (somas, dendrites and axons) and glial, but excluding vascular elements of the neurovascular compartment was also measured in 100-\u2423m2 sample fields of both PVN subdivisions.\r\nResults: The PVN of both groups of animals showed ICDs that ranged from 3 to 10 microns. The virgin group presented mostly capillaries with small ICD, whereas the lactating females exhibited a significant increment in the percentage of capillaries with larger ICD. The space occupied by the neural and glial elements of the neurovascular compartment did not show changes with lactation.\r\nConclusions: Our findings suggest that during lactation the microvasculature of the PVN of female rats undergoes dynamic, transitory changes in blood flow is represented by an increment in the ICD through a self-cytoplasmic volume modification reflected by EC changes. A model of this process is proposed.","note":"","tags":"ORIGINAL report, Rats, Anatomy, Neurobiology, Reproduction"} ] } ; ajaxResultsLoaded(_ajax_res);
