The present manuscript aims at identifying patterns of electrical activity recorded from neurons of the leech nervous system, characterizing specific behaviors.When leeches are at rest, the electrical activity of neurons and motoneurons is poorly correlated.When leeches move their head and/or tail, in contrast, action potential (AP) firing becomes
We have previously shown that plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL) stimulate release of prostacyclin, measured as its stable metabolite, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, by cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells.The present experiments were designed to elucidate the contribution of HDL lipids to endothelial cellular phospholipid pools and Stationary Box to
Abstract Background Sofa Conditions experienced by a female during early life may affect her reproductive strategies and maternal investment later in life.This effect of early environmental conditions is a potentially important mechanism by which animals can compensate for the negative impacts of climate change.In this study, we experimentally test
