Abstract Even though higher serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels have a positive effect on preventing reduction in muscle strength, a U-shaped association between IGF-1 and mortality has been reported. Since a recent experimental study revealed that IGF-1 is associated with atherosclerotic lesion formation, the inflammatory status of atherosclerosis could act as a confounding factor on the association between IGF-1 levels and reduced muscle strength. This study aimed...

Nut-cracking is often cited as one of the most complex behaviours observed in wild chimpanzees. However, the cognitive mechanisms behind its acquisition are still debated. The current null hypothesis is that the form of nut-cracking behaviour relies on variants of social learning, with some researchers arguing, more precisely, that copying variants of social learning mechanisms are necessary. However, to date, very few experiments have directly investigated the potentially sufficient role of individual...

Recent concern for the adverse effects from neonicotinoid insecticides has centered on risk for insect pollinators in general and bees specifically. However, natural resource managers are also concerned about the risk of neonicotinoids to conservation efforts for the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) and need additional data to help estimate risk for wild monarch butterflies exposed to those insecticides. In the present study, monarch butterfly larvae were exposed in the laboratory to clothianidin...

Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a family of debilitating disorders that affects more than 1 million people in the United States. Many animal studies of IBD use a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) mouse model of colitis that induces rapid and severe colitis symptoms. Although the typical seven-day DSS model is appropriate for many studies, it destroys intestinal barrier function and results in intestinal permeability that is substantially higher than what is typically observed...

Alfalfa in China is mostly planted in the semi-arid or arid Northwest inland regions due to its ability to take up water from deep in the soil and to fix atmospheric N2 which reduces N fertilizer application. However, perennial alfalfa may deplete soil water due to uptake and thus aggravate soil desiccation. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the alfalfa forage yield, soil property (soil temperature (ST), soil water content (SWC), soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen...

Heavy metal contamination of soils has become a serious global issue, and bioremediation has been proposed as a potential solution. Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is a fast growing, non-woody multipurpose annual plant that is suitable for removing excess heavy metals from soils. However, there has been relatively little research on the kenaf molecular mechanisms induced in response to an exposure to heavy metal stress. Thus, whole kenaf seedlings grown under control (normal) and stress (plumbic treatment)...
