Congrats Sayantan and colleagues on your publication! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... Check out the discovery of the impact prolactin and triiodothyronine have on hamster adipose tissue. @sayantansur.bsky.social @calumstewartphd.bsky.social @iremsenman.bsky.social @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk

Prolactin and Triiodothyronine Modulate Seasonal Variation in Brown Adipose Tissue in Djungarian Hamsters

Seasonal photoperiodic cycles regulate energy rheostasis in many animals. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and the liver are key metabolic organs that show remarkable plasticity in response to photoperiodi...

Excited to share Sayantan's latest publication! The group found prolactin enhanced N-cadherin expression in the convoluted tubules and increased kidney volume. The findings show water stability is regulated by prolactin. @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk @physiologyuog.bsky.social academic.oup.com/endo/advance...

Prolactin Regulates Seasonal Changes in Renal Rheostasis in Djungarian Hamsters

Abstract. Seasonal changes in photoperiod regulate multiple physiological systems in vertebrates, including metabolism, reproduction, and immune function.

For an extra burst dopamine from my photo below look for the 6-petalled forget me not. If you have f-m-n in your garden look closely at the centres of the flowers. If they’re yellow they contain nectar,but when they’ve been pollinated they fade to white-tiny bees know which flowers have a snack in 🐝

Intranasal Oxytocin: Passing or not passing the blood brain barrier, that is the question.

Oxytocin, a hormone with well-established social effects, has garnered significant attention as a potential treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly autism. But can intranasal oxytocin truly reach the brain? This question lies at the heart of a major scientific controversy for the pa

Great talk on role of photic cues on avian migration at @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk PAW Seminar

Irem Senman@iremsenman.bsky.social · last yr.

Great talk by Dr. Jyoti Tiwari on how photic cues drive migration, sleep, and immunity in redheaded buntings. Her findings reveal how ALAN and noise pollution disrupt these processes, underscoring the need to preserve natural light-dark cycles. #PAWSeminar
