Morinda officinalis oligosaccharides alleviate chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depression through the BDNF/TrkB/CREB pathway and symptoms of sexual dysfunction in mice by Mengjie He, Mengying Hu, Tingqiao Wang, Zeping Zuo, Hongkai Li, Zhiwei Zhao, Yunwen Hao, Xueling Dai, Jianfang Wang, Yaxuan Sun

“…MOO further confirmed that sexual dysfunction is closely related to the development of depression by improving the lack of sexual motivation and low sexual performance in CUMS-induced depressed mice, modulating the disruption of sex hormone secretion in serum, and alleviating sperm morphology and functional defects in the epididymis.ConclusionThese findings on MOO provide a basis for exploring its antidepressant mechanism, its use to improve hypogonadotropic symptoms, and for future development of new antidepressant drug to improves hypogonadotropic symptoms.…”

Spatio‐Temporal Patterns of Hybridization in an Alloploid Salamander (Ambystomatidae: Ambystoma) and Conservation Implications of Introgression in a Unisexual Vertebrate by Alessa V. Laserna, Christopher A. Phillips, Andrew R. Kuhns, Mark A. Davis, Joel B. Corush, Ken N. Paige

“…However, in our focal populations, neither parental species is present, and another sexual host, A. texanum (TT), is a required sperm donor. Gynogenetic reproduction involving LJJ and its host A. texanum should result in a clone of the mother (LJJ); however, with the occurrence of kleptogenesis, it often can result in tetraploid hybrids (LJJT). …”
