Abstract:

Wound healing is a dynamic process that ultimately leads to restoration of tissue integrity and function. The pineal gland hormone melatonin is known for its anti-oncotic, anti- inflammatory and immuno-modulatory effects. However, its role in wound healing has not been established. Since melatonin is synthesised endogenously, we primarily sought to investigate whether the melatonin receptors played a role in the wound healing process. Using immunohistochemical methods and Western blot analysis we observed that MT₁ was normally absent in the rat skin but was strongly expressed on day 1 to day

Abstract:

There is ongoing controversy about the possibility of adverse biological effects from environmental exposures to electric and magnetic fields. These fields are produced by all electrical equipment and appliances including electrical transmission lines. The objective of this environmental science study was to investigate the possible effects of a high voltage transmission line on domestic sheep (Ovis aries L,), a species that can often be found near such lines. The study was primarily designed to determine whether a specific effect of electric and magnetic fields found in laboratory animals als

Abstract:

"Life" may be characterized as a controlled stationary flow equilibrium, maintained by energy consuming chemical reactions. The physiological functioning of these life systems include at least 28 of the elements isolated on the periodic table thus far, most of which are metals. However, as with Paracelsus Principle: "The dose makes the poison", there exists a definite link between metal levels, essential and toxic, and the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. The economic costs of brain dysfunction are enormous, but this pales in comparison to the staggering emotional toll on the victims thems

Abstract:

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, which is known to modulate biological rhythms in mammals. This study investigated the effect of food access schedule and dietary composition on serum melatonin and pineal NAT activity in adult male Wistar rats. These rats were maintained on a 12:12 h light:dark schedule with lights on at 0800h. The rats were randomly assigned to two dietary groups. A group was simultaneously fed a protein-rich and carbohydrate-rich granulated diet and the other group fed granulated rat chow. Each dietary group was further divided based on dietary feeding sch

Abstract:

Critical life history events such as breeding, migration and hibernation must take place in the correct environmental context to minimize deleterious consequences on survival and reproductive fitness. Neuroendocrine mechanisms synchronizing internal physiological states with extrinsic environmental cues are vital to timing life history events appropriately. Secretion of the pineal hormone melatonin is sensitive to light and temperature cues, which provides a physiological indicator of time of day and time of year for organisms. Melatonin influences seasonal reproduction in a variety of vertebr

Abstract:

Dysfunction of central dopaminergic systems has been implicated in neuroendocrine, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Monoamine oxidase and catechol-Omethyltransferase represent the key catabolic enzymes of dopamine, terminating neurotransmission following synaptic release of this catecholamine. Thus, both enzymes have been associated with the pathology of dopaminergic systems and represent therapeutic targets elf enormous clinical importance. Some neuroendocrine and circadian effects of melatonin have been attributed to an antidopamimetic effect of this pineal hormone in the hypotha

It is associated with metabolic abnormalities, oxidative stress, hypertension, insulin resistance and an increased disposition for the development of cardiovascular disease. Elucidation of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying obesity and its relationship with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases is essential for prevention and management of these disorders.

Abstract:

Graduation date: 2006<br>Most vertebrates exhibit seasonality in many life history traits. Such seasonal rhythms are temporally organized via the transduction of environmental cues (e.g., photoperiod, temperature) into appropriate endocrine signals. However, among ectothermic vertebrates that undergo continuous winter dormancy, temperature is the only environmental cue available for synchronizing seasonal rhythms. Most intriguing is that in species where reproduction occurs immediately following spring emergence, the associated changes in neurophysiology and behavior that accompany reproduc
