Recently, approaches to DHT-style key-based routing explicitly designed for the use in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been proposed. However, as DHTs are usually no applications as such, a very practical distributed application running on top of such mobile DHTs could be resource discovery. Therefore, in this paper, a DHT-based approach to resource discovery – MAPNaS – will be described i...

Recovery of Neosartorya fischeri ascospores subjected to a dry heat treatment (DHT) at 95 degrees C, 50% relative humidity (RH) for 60 minutes increased exponentially as the initial temperature of the recovery buffer increased. Different diluents were evaluated and the same recovery pattern was obtained when water or dilute buffers were used to recover the DHT spores. However, when glycerol was...

During early fetal life of males, conversion of testosterone (T) to 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) via the action of 5a-reductase in the external genital tissues is essential for complete sexual differentiation of male external genitalia. Measurement of low concentrations of DHT in serum of affected prepubertal males confirms the type of sexual disorder (1,2). Although commercial methodologies ha...

Abstract The presented study analyses the influence of salicylic acid (SA) and synthetic auxin 1-naphthaleneacetic (NAA) on total tanshinone level dihydrotanshinone (DHT), cryptotanshinone (CT), tanshinine I (TI) IIA (TIIA) in Salvia miltiorrhiza callus cultures growing solid Murashige Skoog (MS) medium. SA NAA was evaluated at 10-day intervals throughout a 80-day treatment period. applied 0.1,...

Both testosterone (T) and its metabolite, 5 a -dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can facilitate male sexual behavior in the lizard Anolis carolinensis. The present study addresses the role of DHT synthesis in regulating male sexual behavior by inhibiting 5 a -reductase, the enzyme that converts T into DHT. In two separate experiments (one replacement and one maintenance paradigm), breeding adult males...

Steroid feedback regulates GnRH secretion and previous work has implicated gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurons as a mediator of these effects. We examined GABAergic postsynaptic currents (PSCs) in green fluorescent protein-identified GnRH neurons from mice exposed to different steroid milieus in vivo. Adult mice were ovariectomized and treated with estradiol (OVX+E, controls) or E plus ...

AIM The age-specific population profiles in men of circulating testosterone and its two bioactive metabolites dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol (E2) across the adult lifespan and its determinants are not well described. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to deduce smoothed age-specific centiles of circulating testosterone, DHT, and E2 in men using pooled data from population-based studies in t...

The role of central serotonergic neurons in circulatory control was studied in rabbits given intracisternal injections of 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine (5,6-DHT, 300 ̂ g/kg) to cause degeneration of central serotonergic nerve terminals and depletion of central serotonin stores. In normal rabbits, intracisternally administered 5,6-DHT produced decreases in mean arterial blood pressure (11%, P < 0.001) ...

In order to characterize the action of androgen in skeletal muscle, we have investigated the effects of castration (GDX) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on global gene expression in mice. The serial analysis of gene expression method was performed in the muscle of male mice in six experimental groups: intact, GDX and GDX+DHT injection 1, 3, 6 or 24 h before they were killed. A total of 780 822 se...
