Circadian and seasonal cortico-medullary variations in pinealocyte nuclear size. A comparative statistical analysis.

Seasonal and circadian variations of hemodynamic and electrocardiographic parameters in telemetered beagle dogs

Determination and study the fatty acid contents and their seasonal variations by temperature of a dominant bivalve(Callista umbonella) of Haleh Creek

In this study fatty acid contents, because of the importance in human’s life, and their seasonal variations of a dominant bivalve of Haleh Creek were determined for the first time. Fatty acid identification was done by GC-MS (Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry) method. After collecting and dissecting the species from the shells, samples weighed and frozen for further experiments. All the samp...

Thymic structural changes in relation to seasonal cycle and testosterone administration in wall lizard Hemidactylus flaviviridis (Ruppell).

Light microscopic and ultrastructural studies of thymus in wall lizard showed remarkable season dependent structural changes. In winter, the thymus was involuted and its cortico-medullary differentiation was not distinct. Thymocytes were sparsely distributed. The epithelial cells exhibited atrophic features such as an appreciable decrease in the nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio and accordingly reducti...

Continuous light and melatonin: daily and seasonal variations of brain binding sites and plasma concentration during the first reproductive cycle of sea bass.

The present study reports on the daily and seasonal variations in plasma melatonin concentration, and also in optic tectum and hypothalamus melatonin binding sites, in male European sea bass maintained under natural photoperiod (NP) or continuous light (LL) from early stages of development. Samples were collected on a 24-h cycle, at four physiological phases of their first annual reproductive c...
