Mineralocorticoid Receptor Blockade Attenuates Chronic Overexpression of the Renin-Angiotensin- Aldosterone System Stimulation of Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase and Cardiac Remodeling
(Endocrinology, 2007-08)
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system contributes to cardiac remodeling, hypertrophy, and left ventricular dysfunction.
Angiotensin II and aldosterone (corticosterone in rodents) together generate reactive oxygen species ...
Estrogen signaling and UCP1 : exploring mechanisms to improve metabolic health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Metabolic disease risk rapidly escalates following menopause. The mechanism is not fully known, but likely involves reduced signaling through Estrogen Receptor a (ERa) which is highly expressed in brown (BAT) and white AT ...
Behavioral endocrinology of female gray treefrogs, Hyla versicolor, in response to acoustic stimulation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
, and the endocrinology and behavior of females in the gray treefrog, Hyla versicolor. I found that wild female treefrogs show the greatest elevation of steroids on breeding nights, and non-breeding females had elevated levels of estradiol and testosterone during...
Method of estimating thyroid hormone secretion rate of rats and factors affecting it
(University of Missouri--Columbia, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1969)
Ultrastructural Islet Study of Early Fibrosis in the Ren2 Rat Model of Hypertension Emerging Role of the Islet Pancreatic Pericyte-Stellate Cell
(Journal of the Pancreas, 2007)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease with polygenic and environmental stressors resulting in multiple metabolic toxicities and islet oxidative stress. We have integrated the role of the islet renin-angiotensin ...
Evaluation of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite assays for short-term stressors and validation for stress monitoring in African herbivores
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
During stressful periods, glucocorticoid production is increased. Glucocorticoid metabolites are found in blood, urine and feces. Our first goal was to determine if fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (FGM) measurements are a ...
Nutritional Skewing of Conceptus Sex in Sheep: Effects of a Maternal Diet Enriched in Rumen-Protected Polyunsaturated Fatty acids (PUFA)
(Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008)
Evolutionary theory suggests that in polygynous mammalian species females in better body condition should produce more sons than daughters. Few controlled studies have however tested this hypothesis and controversy exists ...

Mizzou weekly, volume 28, number 33 (May 3, 2007)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. University Affairs. Publications and Alumni Communication., 2007)
Extraction, separation, and concentration of some anterior pituitary hormones
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1942)
Mizzou weekly, volume 26, number 01 (August 26, 2004)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. University Affairs. Publications and Alumni Communication., 2004)
Combinatorial Roles of Protein Kinase A, Ets2 and CBP/p300 in the Transcriptional Control of Interferon-tau Expression in a Trophoblast Cell Line
(Molecular Endocrinology, 2008-02)
In ruminants, conceptus interferon-tau (IFNT) production is necessary for maintenance of pregnancy. We examined the role of protein kinase A (PKA) in regulating IFNT expression through the activation of Ets2 in JAr ...
Endocrinology of equine metabolic pathophysiology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Obesity in horses is associated with a number of maladies including insulin resistance and laminitis; therefore studies investigating the metabolic physiology of equine were done. In our first study, we characterized the ...
Studies concerning the induction and maintenance of lactation. I, The mechanism controlling the initiation of lactation at parturition
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1948)
Mizzou weekly, volume 15, number 14 (November 24, 1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. University Affairs. Publications and Alumni Communication., 1993)
The relationship between insulin-like growth factor-1 and bone mineral density in osteopenic men following a 12-month osteogenic exercise intervention
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
INTRODUCTION: Plyometric [PLY] and resistance training [RT] have been successfully used to improve BMD in both men and women. Often, the hormonal response to exercise training is an important mediator of exercise-induced ...
The retention of goitrogens in the blood and tissues of several domestic animals
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1948)
Estradiol regulates multiple tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium currents in gonadotropin releasing hormone neurons: implications for cellular regulation of reproduction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neuron is the pivotal control center in a tightly regulated reproductive axis. Estradiol typically has a ...
Effects of forest fragmentation on reproductive effort and productivity of Indigo buntings (Passerina cyanea)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Forest fragmentation creates edge habitat that attracts nest predators that lower reproductive success and force birds to renest. To determine if predation-induced renesting causes a decline in condition of females and ...
