EFFECTS OF SODIUM BENOZATE ON FAT DEPOSITION AND GROWTH IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-11)
Clinical observation has proposed the linkage between the occurrence of obesity and slow weight loss with daily exposure to common food additives such as sodium benzoate. However, well-controlled laboratory experiments on ...
Investigating the role of transcription factor, Trl, during germline development in the Drosophila ovary
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-22)
Oogenesis is the process by which an egg develops from undifferentiated cells in the ovary. The Drosophila melanogaster ovary is an assembly line for egg production, making it a great system to investigate initial oocyte ...
Listening to Ocean Life
(2019-05-30)
By using a remotely controlled autonomous vehicle ("Blackbeard" the Acoustic Wave Glider), the authors made recordings of sounds produced by striped cusk eels, sea robins, oyster toadfish, weakfish, red drum, spotted ...
MONITORING FISH SPAWNING LOCATIONS AND MARINE MAMMAL SOUNDS WITH PASSIVE ACOUSTIC RECORDER ON A WAVE GLIDER
(2019-07-08)
Remote observations of marine animal behavior have one distinct advantage over direct observations: the observer is not present to disturb the animals. There are no vessel noises, no diver’s bubbles, no people present that ...
FUNCTIONS OF G-PROTEIN COUPLED ESTROGEN RECEPTOR (GPER) IN FEMALE ZEBRAFISH REPRODUCTION
(East Carolina University, 2019-11-27)
Abstract
Steroid hormones such as estrogen depend on receptors like Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) and Estrogen Receptor (ERβ) to mediate their slow “genomic” functions, and G-Protein coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) to ...
Determining the role of the steroid hormone ecdysone in critical stages of Drosophila melanogaster early oogenesis
(East Carolina University, 2019-11-27)
Reproductive function in many organisms, including Drosophila melanogaster, is controlled by steroid hormones. The main steroid hormone in Drosophila is ecdysone, which is structurally and functionally similar to estrogen. ...
The effects of stress on avian gene expression and microbiomes
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-24)
Organisms must cope with stressors throughout their lifetime. Stressors are broad and come from both intrinsic and extrinsic sources. In this era of rapid global change, exposure to stressors will become more unpredictable ...
