(2006-07-11)A neuroendocrine loop model has been proposed for explaining the generation of avian circadian rhythms. The basis of this model is that the circadian system is composed of interconnected circadian pacemakers residing within ...
-
(2015-12-12)Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is the hallmark feature of the secondary injuries that occur following traumatic and ischemic brain injuries. Microvascular hyperpermeability that occurs consequently leads to vasogenic ...

(2007-09-17)The immediate effects of melatonin from the pineal gland on peripheral cell types such as astrocytes, hepatocytes, and cardiac myocytes are relatively unknown. My research includes designing a superfusion or flow-through ...
-
(2009-05-15)Avian circadian clocks are composed of a distributed network of neural and peripheral oscillators. Three neural pacemakers, located in the pineal, the eyes, and the hypothalamus, control circadian rhythms of many biological ...

(1980)Goldfish, Carassius auratus, exposed to various concentrations of melatonin over a ninety minute time period seem to exhibit a lower rate of oxygen consumption, as compared to controls. The use of a teflon membrane oxygen ...
