TLDR
Positive control of NO is indicated on the gonad and adrenal function of Japanese quail which exhibits parallel adrenal-gonad relationship and it is concluded that NO may not only regulate hypothalamo-hypophyseal -gonadal and -adrenal axis ofJapanese quail but may also modulate its photosexual responses.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide production: an easily measurable condition index for vertebrates
Elin Sild,Peeter Hõrak +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple, precise, and inexpensive spectrophotometric assay for determination of NO production from 5 to 10 μL plasma samples of passerine birds was described, based on estimation of concentrations of nitrate and nitrite, the stable end products of nitric oxide oxidation.
Book ChapterDOI
Avian testicular structure, function, and regulation
TL;DR: This chapter describes the mechanisms that control avian exocrine and endocrine testicular functions and analyzes how these functions are regulated by ecological and behavioral factors and presents an overview of how environmental information is integrated and transduced into appropriate gonadal responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opposing effects of D-aspartic acid and nitric oxide on tuning of testosterone production in mallard testis during the reproductive cycle.
TL;DR: The localization of these two molecules in the Leydig cells in different periods of the reproductive cycle demonstrates that they play a potential role in regulating local testosterone production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of nitric oxide (NO) activity and gonadal function in Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica following temporal phase relation of serotonergic and dopaminergic oscillations
TL;DR: Activity of the reproductive system and NO activity waxes and wanes simultaneously in Japanese quail are concluded that reproductive effects may be induced via changes in NO activity, however the exact mechanism by which NO drives gonadal axis needs to be ascertained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal synergism of neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine) affects testicular development in mice.
TL;DR: It is concluded that normal somatic and gonadal growth of pre-puberal mice may be suppressed with an 8-hr phase relation of circadian serotonergic and dopaminergic oscillations, which accelerated the rate of gonadal maturation and led to more or less similar gonadal development as in the control mice.

Nitric oxide mediates glutamate neurotoxicity in primary cortical cultures.
TL;DR: It is established that NO mediates the neurotoxicity of glutamate and Hemoglobin, which complexes NO, prevents neurotoxic effects of both N-methyl-D-aspartate and sodium nitroprusside.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of the Folin phenol protein quantitation method of Lowry, Rosebrough, Farr and Randall.
TL;DR: The method of Lowry and coworkers combined the use of copper, as suggested by Herriott, with the Folin phenol method, which originated from the work of Wu, to produce a more reliable and sensitive protein analysis.
Book ChapterDOI
Physiology of Reproduction
TL;DR: In order to observe sexual behavior in rats, a male rat that has already been trained to mate with normal females several times is placed in a test cage under a red dim light and a steroid-induced estrous female is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectrophotometric Determination of Serum Nitrite and Nitrate by Copper–Cadmium Alloy
TL;DR: The present method provides a simple, cost-effective assay for the estimation of stable oxidation products of nitric oxide in biological samples.
