V. (GTH). This congress was held, together with the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Trombose en Hemostase (NVTH) as the first joint meeting of these two sister societies, on February 24–27, ...

In two pre-registered studies we investigated the cognitive context of gratitude to God (GTG) and fading positive affect grateful memories. Although has been shown causally impact happiness, few have how nature benefactor might experienced gratitude. Participants first recalled a event, human-caused benefit, or God-caused benefit. After recall they reported their current momentary emotions, pas...

1. Let g denote any odd prime and h = h(g) the class number of the cyclotomic field R(r), where r is the primitive gth root of unity, R the rational numbers. It is known that we can write: h = h1h2, where hi and h2 (both integers) are the so-called first and second factors of the class number; in fact h2 is the class number of the real field of degree 2 under R(r), namely the field R(D + D-). K...

Alterations in susceptibility of the Syrian hamster to poliomyelitis virus (MEF1) inoculated intracerebrally appeared closely related to seasonal changes and experimental disturbances in the adreno-testes equilibrium. Enhanced susceptibility coincided with seasonal enlargement of adrenals, followed cortisone and DOCA treatment and appeared during the initial postorchiectomy period. Increased re...

The gonadotropins (GTHs), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), determine the reproductive competence of adult breeders, but also participate in the establishment of the reproductive axis at early stages of life. The present study aimed at studying, by real-time qPCR, the gene expression levels of GTH subunits (FSHbeta, LHbeta and the common glycoprotein alpha -GPalph...

Estrogens exert a feedback control on gonadotropin (GtH) secretion at the level of the hypothalamus and pituitary. In the present study, female catfish were ovariectomized (OVX) for 5 weeks in resting (December-January) and preparatory (March-April) phases and supplemented with estradiol-17β (E2, 0.05 and 0.5 μg/g body mass) in 3-week ovariectomized fish to demonstrate the nature of feedback co...
