De Novo Transcriptome Assembly and Comparative Analysis Elucidate Complicated Mechanism Regulating Astragalus chrysochlorus Response to Selenium Stimuli
(2015-10)Astragalus species are medicinal plants that are used in the world for years. Some Astragalus species are known for selenium accumulation and tolerance and one of them is Astragalus chrysochlorus, a secondary selenium ... -
NR5A family member ftz-f1 is necessary to promote oocyte development
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)Gamete production in mammals and insects is intimately tied to nutrition status. Conversion of nutritionally-dependent physiological signals to molecular mechanisms underlying control of oogenesis, however, remains largely ... -
Nuclear Progesterone Receptors Are Up-Regulated by Estrogens in Neurons and Radial Glial Progenitors in the Brain of Zebrafish
(2011)Abstract In rodents, there is increasing evidence that nuclear progesterone receptors are transiently expressed in many regions of the developing brain, notably outside the hypothalamus. This suggests that progesterone ... -
Nuclear Progestin Receptor (Pgr) Knockouts in Zebrafish Demonstrate Role for Pgr in Ovulation but Not in Rapid Non-Genomic Steroid Mediated Meiosis Resumption
(2015-03)Progestins, progesterone derivatives, are the most critical signaling steroid for initiating final oocyte maturation (FOM) and ovulation, in order to advance fully-grown immature oocytes to become fertilizable eggs in basal ... -
Nurses’ Use of Chiropractic for Relief of Back and Neck Pain
(East Carolina University, 2023-04-26)Purpose Because of the physical demands of the profession, nurses often experience back and neck pain. Chronic pain can affect productivity at work and push nurses to seek less taxing positions. With an increased demand ... -
