Progesterone Induced Molt

Mechanisms of progesterone-induced neuroprotection.

Gonadal steroid hormones such as estrogen and progesterone can no longer be considered strictly within the confines of reproductive function, and with respect to their anatomic targets, extrahypothalamic structures within the brain such as the cerebral cortex have revealed themselves to be important targets. As such, it may come as no surprise that the decline in such hormones, which occurs aft...

Molt and Plumage Patterns

Identification of birds not only means identifying the species of an individual, but also can include identifying its subspecies, sex, and age. Field identification of the age and sex of a bird can be important for studying many aspects of avian ecology and evolution, including life history evolution, reproductive ecology, and behavioral ecology. Ornithologists use a variety of characteristics ...

Apoptosis Are Susceptible to Progesterone-Induced NK Cells Expressing a Progesterone Receptor

Progesterone and Cilostazol Protect mice pancreatic islets from oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide

Abstract Reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress impair β-cell function and reduce insulin secretion. It has been shown that progesterone and cilostazol possess antioxidant properties. The present study was aimed to investigate in vitro pretreatment effect of progesterone and cilostazol on insulin secretion as well as their protective effects against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative str...
