Obesity Related Alterations in Plasma Cytokines and Metabolic Hormones in Chimpanzees by Pramod Nehete, Elizabeth R. Magden, Bharti Nehete, Patrick W. Hanley, Christian R. Abee

“…We also observed an obesity-related effect on immune function as demonstrated by lower mitogen induced proliferation, and natural killer activity and higher production of IFN-γ by PBMC in Elispot assay, These findings suggest that lean, overweight, and obese chimpanzees share circulating inflammatory cytokines and metabolic hormone levels with humans and that chimpanzees can serve as a useful animal model for human studies.…”

L’éducation à la pitié dans l’Emile by Gérard Demouge

“…La réponse à cette question passe par le rappel du principe rousseauiste essentiel, selon lequel nous sommes ce que la situation externe fait de nous. La pitié est un sentiment obscur et vif chez l’homme de la pure nature, car l’absence de séparation entre moi et non-moi fait que l’homme sympathise avec tout être souffrant (homme ou animal). …”

The ultradian rhythm of glucocorticoid secretion and the time course of target gene regulation by V. M. Merkulov, N. V. Klimova, T. I. Merkulova

“…This review summarizes the current scarce information, obtained in experiments mimicking the ultradian mode of natural hormone secretion in cultured cells and in animal models. The results of these experiments clearly demonstrate that ultradian stimulation by natural hormones induces rapid GR exchange with glucocorticoid response elements and leads to cyclic GR mediated transcriptional regulation (gene pulsing) at the level of nascent RNA. …”
