  Many reports have well documented that signaling pathways play a pivotal role in controlling longevity. The most studied of these pathways is the IGF-1 pathway [11,12]. A disruption of this pathway has been found to extend longevity in different groups of species starting from Caenorhabditis elegans

  Although plant Aurora kinases can be clearly grouped into functional clades, the roles of the respective clades does not seem to be evolutionarily conserved. AtAurora 1 labels kinetochore microtubules [19], similarly to mammalian Aurora A, while its targeting to the cell plate resembles features of

  Animals Female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, aged 3 months with body weight between 180-210 g were housed in cages and acclimatized to standardized lab conditions (temperature 23 ± 2°C, humidity 50 ± 5% and 12 h light-dark cycles). The rats were fed with standard rodent food pellet (Harlan Diet, Ros

  Enhanced arginase activity and the resultant decreases in L-arginine levels can also impair T cell mediated immune function and allow tumor growth by limiting the supply of L-arginine needed for the formation of cytotoxic levels of NO by iNOS [10]. Increased arginase expression/activity may also lim

  We also explored the possibility that this PKC-θ activating protein could operate on the auto-phosphorylation process of the kinase, a specific event accompanying PKC activation [32]. The heated PKC-θ immunoprecipitate from metaphasic cells was then added to PKC-θ isolated both from interphasic or m

  The protein kinase CK2-mediated phosphorylation of HMGN1 was implicated to be involved in age-associated amnesia in rats [31]. It was shown that the decreased level of HMGN1 phosphorylation due to the down-regulation of CK2 activity could cause amnesia in aged rats, whereas the treatment with protei

  Material and methods Results Discussion Neurotransmitters pathways within vertebrates, including fish, are well conserved (Kreke and Dietrich, 2008, Valenti et al., 2012). Therefore psycopharmaceuticals that are design to act on these pathways in mammals, will possibly interact with the sam

  The study by Lowry et al. (2001) pointed toward functionally uncharacterized DA- and 5-HT-accumulating neurons within the DMH as a potential target for rapid nongenomic effects of CORT. Similar DA- and 5-HT-accumulating systems are distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, s

  The literature suggests that adiponectin has a steroidogenic effect on ovarian function. In pigs, in vitro studies have shown that adiponectin reduced basal testosterone secretion in internal theca cells; in granulosa cells, it increased secretion of estradiol and, in combination with insulin, incre

  Introduction Microdialysis is an in vivo-technique which allows continuous sampling of small molecular weight substances (such as neurotransmitters, metabolites and neuropeptides) from the extracellular space of different tissues or organs, e.g. brain, muscle or skin. While the implantation of the

  The role of DHT in early teleost embryogenesis is not entirely clear or established, however additional studies that treat fish embryos to DHT or to specific srd5a inhibitors at critical stages of development (i.e. prior to sex differentiation) will shed light on the early functions of this androgen
