Sven Neynaber,Nouhad Mistry-Burchardi,Christian Rust,Walter Samtleben,Walter H.C. Burgdorf,Michael Andreas Seitz,Gerald Messer,Andreas Wollenberg +7 more
TL;DR: Several clinical observations of cocaine abuse followed by Wegener granulomatosis suggest an active induction of a PR3-ANCA-positive vasculitis by cocaine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuronal development during the sensitive period of temperature sex determination in the pejerrey fish, Odontesthes bonariensis.
Leandro Andrés Miranda,Pablo H. Strobl-Mazzulla,Carlos Augusto Strüssmann,Ishwar S. Parhar,Gustavo M. Somoza +4 more
TL;DR: The results reinforce the notion that the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis is active during sex determination in pejerrey suggesting a possible role of the central nervous system and GnRH in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental and protein kinase-dependent regulation of ovarian connexin mRNA and oocyte maturational competence in Atlantic croaker.
TL;DR: Changes in Cx32.2 gene expression seem to be involved in the regulation of oocyte-granulosa cell GJ during growth and differentiation of the croaker ovarian follicle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of sex steroids in courtship, pairing and pairing behaviors in the socially monogamous zebra finch.
TL;DR: It is suggested that, although sex steroids may regulate some courtship behaviors in males, they do not regulate pairing behaviors and have little effect on the likelihood that a male or female will be chosen as a mate by a bird of the opposite sex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interleukin 1 (IL-1) system in the uteroplacental complex of a cartilaginous fish, the smoothhound shark, Mustelus canis
TL;DR: The data suggest that IL-1 system is a key mediator of the materno-fetal interaction since the oldest extant placental vertebrates.

Seasonal breeding:nature's contraceptive.
G A Lincoln,Roger V. Short +1 more
TL;DR: The seasonal cycle highlights the seasonal changes in daylight length, rutting behavior, testicular diameter, sexual skin flush, and concentrations of plasma follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, and testosterone in a group of rams throughout the year.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physiological responses of anovulatory ewes to the introduction of rams: a review.
TL;DR: Ewes of many breeds can be stimulated to ovulate by the reintroduction of rams and appear to be effected both through a delay in the onset of the LH surge and through a direct action of progesterone on the ovary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the secretion of luteinizing hormone in the ewe.
TL;DR: LH is secreted as discrete pulses throughout all stages of the reproductive cycle of the ewe, including pre‐pubertal, seasonal and lactational anoestrus, and the luteal and follicular phases of the oestrous cycle.
Nutritional influences on reproduction in mature male sheep and goats
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nutritional signals exert powerful effects on the reproductive system of mature male ruminants, and the responses are partly independent of changes in gonadotrophin secretion.
