Molecular Analysis Of Hamster Sperm Capacitation: Significance Of Protein Tyrosine Phosphorylation
(2007-12-17)Fertilization is a process that generates the first cell of a new organism. In mammals, fertilization occurs in the female reproductive tract. The male gametes (spermatozoa) are rendered fertilization-competent only after ... -
Spatial Variation In Interactions Of The Semi-Myrmecophyte Humboldtia Brunonis (Fabaceae) With Ants And Other Invertebrates
(2010-06-01)Despite a long history of investigations on protective ant-plant interactions, since the late 19century (Thomas Belt 1874), a comprehensive quantitative understanding of the adaptations that facilitate these associations ... -
Studies On Endocrine And Behavioral Assessment Of Reproductive Status In Asian Elephants (Elephas Maximus)
(2013-01-16)The Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), a charismatic ‘flagship species’, is threatened by extinction in the wild, and the development of self-sustainable captive populations is a key conservation challenge. A third of the ... -
Studies On Intracrine Regulators Of Ovarian Function : Examination Of Progesterone Action On Structure And Function Of Corpus Luteum In The Monkey
(2011-08-09)The control of reproductive cycles in higher primates is largely dependent on negative and positive feedback mechanisms by both steroidal and non-steroidal substances of the ovaries which regulate the function of ... -
Studies On The Phenomenon Of Blastocyst Hatching: Role Of Cysteine Proteases
(2007-11-16)The mammalian embryo is encased in a glycoproteinaceous covering, the zona pellucida (ZP/zona) during preimplantation development. Prior to implantation into the recipient maternal endometrium, the blastocyst has to hatch ... -
A Study On The Roles Of The Ras Activation Pathway During Interferonγ Mediated Functional Responses And Acetaminophen-induced Liver Injury In Mice
(2010-12-07)Interferons (IFNs) perform a wide range of biological activities: anti-microbial, anti-proliferative, immunomodulatory etc. The IFN family includes three main classes: Type I, Type II and the recently identified Type III. ...
