Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R904–R909, 1999.—During lactation there are many dramatic alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary (HP) axis, as well as an increased demand for food ...

Stein, Kenneth M., Jeff Walden, Neal Lippman, and Bruce B. Lerman. Ventricular response in atrial fibrillation: random or deterministic? Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 46): H452–H458, 1999.—The ventricular response in atrial fibrillation is often described as ‘‘chaotic,’’ but this has not been demonstrated in the strict mathematical sense. A defining feature of chaotic systems is sen...

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short endogenous noncoding RNA molecules that regulate fundamental cellular processes such as cell differentiation, cell proliferation and apoptosis through modulation of gene expression. Critical to understanding the role of miRNAs in this regulation is a method to rapidly and accurately quantitate miRNA gene expression. Existing methods lack sensitivity, specificity and ...

Stress can be defined as a state of increased psychological, physiological and behaviourial preparedness. A stress reaction is a normal reaction that is considered necessary rather than harmful. Physical activity is generally deemed a stress factor that activates our physiological stress systems in the same way as exposure to psychological stress. The following chapter describes acute stress re...
