Bioenergetic programs of cancellous and cortical bone are distinct and differ with age and mechanical loading by Carolyn Chlebek, Tyler J. McNeill, Muyin Huang, Maia S. Raynor, Marjolein C. H. van der Meulen

“…To evaluate load-induced changes to bioenergetic activity in young and adult animals, we loaded the tibia of 10-wk and 26-wk female C57BL/6J mice and examined transcriptomic responses at the mid-diaphysis, and metaphyseal cortical shell and cancellous core. …”

Growing, grown, gone. The ephemeral status of pets among the Madiha (Kulina) of the Peruvian Amazon by Andrea Zuppi

“…By analyzing pet keeping practices against notions of mastery/ownership, feeding and child adoption, as well as by drawing on the work of specialists of the region, this article shows that pet keeping does not have as its purpose the creation of an adult animal, nor can it unproblematically be considered under the prism of adoption since the animals kept as pets are inevitably de-familiarized.…”

The RHO-1 RhoGTPase modulates fertility and multiple behaviors in adult C. elegans. by Rachel McMullan, Stephen J Nurrish

“…The Rho family of small GTPases are essential during early embryonic development making it difficult to study their functions in adult animals. Using inducible transgenes expressing either a constitutively active version of the single C. elegans Rho ortholog, RHO-1, or an inhibitor of endogenous Rho (C3 transferase), we demonstrate multiple defects caused by altering Rho signaling in adult C. elegans. …”

Synchronized Progression of Prestin Expression and Auditory Brainstem Response during Postnatal Development in Rats by Jianfeng Hang, Wenlu Pan, Aoshuang Chang, Shun Li, Cuixian Li, Mingyu Fu, Jie Tang

“…The electromotility of OHCs driven by prestin is responsible for the cochlear amplification which is required for normal hearing in adult animals. Postnatal expression of prestin and activity of OHCs may contribute to the maturation of hearing in rodents. …”

Intestinal activation of Notch signaling induces rapid onset hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. by Joanna C Fowler, Vincent R Zecchini, Philip H Jones

“…Hepatic expression of ICD-E in adult animals has no detectable phenotype, but simultaneous induction of ICD-E in both the liver and small intestine results in hepatic steatosis, lipogranuloma formation and mild insulin resistance within 96 hours. …”

BLOOD MORPHOBIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS of hereford cows IMPORTED FROM AUSTRALIA IN SPRING by M. S. Mansurova

“…Biochemical parameters of heifer sera as compared to mother cows were closer to the normal range; i. e. albumen concentration and glucose content were higher, BUN level was lower, calcium and magnesium contents were identical to adult animals' ones. It was established that during winter time and after it young animals are more demanding to feeding and management conditions.…”

Generation of New Neurons in Dorsal Root Ganglia in Adult Rats after Peripheral Nerve Crush Injury by Luisa Muratori, Giulia Ronchi, Stefania Raimondo, Stefano Geuna, Maria Giuseppina Giacobini-Robecchi, Michele Fornaro

“…The evidence of neurons generated ex novo in sensory ganglia of adult animals is still debated. In the present study, we investigated, using high resolution light microscopy and stereological analysis, the changes in the number of neurons in dorsal root ganglia after 30 days from a crush lesion of the rat brachial plexus terminal branches. …”

Expression Analysis of Gnrh1 and Gnrhr1 in Spermatogenic Cells of Rat by Vincenza Ciaramella, Rosanna Chianese, Paolo Pariante, Silvia Fasano, Riccardo Pierantoni, Rosaria Meccariello

“…Here, we analysed the expression rate of Gnrh1 and Gnrhr1 in rat testis (180 days old) by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and by in situ hybridization we localized Gnrh1 and Gnrhr1 mRNA in different spermatogenic cells of adult animals. Our data confirm the testicular expression of Gnrh1 and of Gnrhr1 in somatic cells and provide evidence that their expression in the germinal compartment is restricted to haploid cells. …”
