There are myriad species of mice and rats, including deer mice, house mice, kangaroo rats, Norway rats and black rats. Amongst these species, house mice, black rats and Norway rats are the most commonly found species.(Photo Credit: Bayer CropScience UK / Flickr & Pixabay) The original rode...
Supporting the adrenals is one of the first things I recommend for all of my clients, as adrenal dysfunction is almost always a factor in Hashimoto’s. It can result in many of the symptoms we often perceive to be a result of our thyroid condition, like fatigue, feeling overwhelmed, troub...
The spotted hyena is Africa's most successful predator—and one of its most misunderstood animals. But decades of cutting edge research is yielding greater understanding, respect, and protection.
A major gap in knowledge of circadian biology is where the oscillators that generate FA rhythms are located and how they work mechanistically. To close at least part of this gap, we generated mice with a conditionalPer2allele to delete this gene in a cell–type-specific manner. We flanked e...
In this study, rats exposed to chronic, unpredictable stress exposure had reduced endocannabinoid concentrations throughout the limbic regions of the brain, while plasma concentrations of AEA and 2-AG were significantly increased. However, the data that have come from human studies have largely found...
Studies investigating olfactory nest recognition have been focused on birds which cannot rely on visual cues for nest recognition, such as nocturnal birds [22–25], nestlings [26] or fledglings, which cannot have a spatial representation of their nest site [13]. Whether...

Hypertensive patients have altered circadian pacemaker function, disturbed autonomic cardiovascular regulation with blunted day to night sympathetic and parasympathetic tone, reduced vasodilation and suppressed nocturnal melatonin levels, especially in nondippers, by up to 50% as meas...
sharp peak in NOCT expression when mice wake up (mice are nocturnal and ZT12 corresponds to awakening) must be understood from the point of NADP(H)/NAD(H) regulation. One physiological function of NOCT could be to maximize available NAD(H) for energy generation in a search for food, ...
enhance the regrowth of skeletal muscle in rats after disuse via induction of heat shock proteins. Having a quantitative way to non-invasively measure muscle mass in humans is difficult. Even though the experiment was done in rats (N=40) this is a good study because it also shows mechanism....
