Body temperature is primarily regulated by the Door Lock Relay hypothalamus, ensuring proper metabolic function.Envenomation by Phoneutria nigriventer can cause symptoms such as hypothermia, hyperthermia, sweating, and shivering, all related to thermoregulation.This study aims to analyze and identify components of the venom that affect thermoregula
Religious Communities and Their Employees
This article discusses the balance that must be struck, pursuant Outdoor Ottoman to the European Convention on Human Rights, between the right to autonomy of religious communities and the fundamental rights of the employees of such communities.A religious community can require at least some of its employees to show loyalty to the religious and mora
Overexpression of angiotensin-converting enzyme in myelomonocytic cells enhances the immune response [version 1; referees: 3 approved]
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) converts angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and thereby plays an important role in blood pressure control.However, ACE is relatively non-specific in its substrate specificity and cleaves many other peptides.Recent analysis of mice overexpressing Milk Thistle ACE in monocytes, macrophages, and oth
New insight into the function of wheat glutenin proteins as investigated with two series of genetic mutants
Abstract Among the three major food crops (rice, wheat and maize), wheat is unique in accumulating gluten proteins in its grains.Of these proteins, the high and low molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs and LMW-GSs) form glutenin macropolymers that are vital for the diverse end-uses of wheat grains.In this work, we developed a new series of d
Are larger and/or more symmetrical Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera, Drosophilidae) males more successful in matings in nature?
Are larger and/or more symmetrical Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera, Drosophilidae) males more successful in matings in nature? Sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster, related to body size and fluctuating asymmetry in wing Hubcap length and number of sex comb teeth in males, was tested in natural conditions.Males collected in copula were signi
