Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual dimorphism in the effects of mating on the in vitro release of LHRH from the ferret mediobasal hypothalamus.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the postcoital surge of LH in the female ferret is preceded by a release of LHRH that initially depletes neuronal terminals within the MBH, whereas L HRH release, like pituitary LH secretion, is minimally affected by mating in males.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hormone-dependent medial preoptic/lumbar spinal cord/autonomic coordination supporting male sexual behaviors.
Donald W. Pfaff,Michael J. Baum +1 more
TL;DR: The roles and relative importance of T as well as E and DHT at various levels of the neuroaxis for the activation of male sex behavior in common laboratory animals and, when relevant research findings are available, in man are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
An exploration of relapse data by hazard rate as a means of developing biological insights into the natural history and treatment of breast cancer: Data from the ’Arimidex’, Tamoxifen, Alone or in Combination (ATAC) trial and the Milan Institute database

TL;DR: A possible explanation for the reduction in the first peak with anastrozole relates to the fact that COX2 expression, a natural response to wounding, leads indirectly to the activation of the aromatase enzyme, therefore, an AI might in part suppress theactivation of dormant metastases by the act of surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frank Beach's research on the sexual differentiation of behavior and his struggle with the “organizational” hypothesis
TL;DR: Frank Beach's initial struggle with and his subsequent partial acceptance of the organizational hypothesis of steroidal action in the developing male nervous system as an explanation of these steroidal effects on behavior are chronicled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specialist surgeons and survival in breast cancer. Large differences in survival are not explained.
TL;DR: From the world overview of trials the authors now know with statistical confidence that variations in local treatment cannot be associated with any of the differences in survival described in this paper.
