Pretreatment with ACTH tended to downregulate total GR protein levels (P =0.084), and LPS tended to inhibit GR protein expression in the nucleus (P =0.088). Pulmonary expression level of Let-7i targeted TLR4 was significantly increased by ACTH treatment (P =0.013), but not with LPS. These results sug...

...arly, the mean values of cortisol were comparatively higher in control breed than Damani experimental group, showing that Damani breed was more prone to heat stress conditions than control group and that oxidative stress, induced by heat stress, may have a negative effect on the availability of Se, which accordingly resulted in reduced synthesis of thyroid hormones. Beside that the concentrations of total protein, cholesterol, albumin and glucose were found si...

The present study was aimed to find the reliability of the faecal and urine samples for the determination of the stress levels in animals. A non-invasive technique was used to measure the cortisol levels. Urine and faecal samples of male and female blackbucks (Antilope cervicapra) were collected from Lahore Zoo, Safari Zoo and Jallo Zoo in ...

However, its anti-stress effects mechanism has not been fully revealed. In this work, based on network pharmacology, the potential targets of OR were screened, and an protein-protein interaction (PPI) network between the target of OR and anti-stress target was constructed using STRING datab...
