The use of pesticides is becoming an indispensable technique in most agricultural practices, regardless the level development country. Currently, used are often less toxic and more specific based on insect physiology. Recent studies indicate that pesticide intoxication induces oxidative stress. This work aims to study neurobehavioral consequences administration two insecticides currently widely...

The possible influence of photoperiodism on carbohydrate metabolism has been evaluated in the feral pigeons. Both Dexamethasone (DXM) and Corticosterone (CORT) treated pigeons were exposed to NDL or LD 18:6 photoperiodic schedules and their tissue glycogen contents, blood glucose and hepatic phosphorylase and G-6-P’ase activity assayed. Both DXM & Corticosterone treatment increased tissue glyco...

1. The 24 h urinary excretion of kallikrein has been studied in 40 normotensive control subjects and in 74 age-matched patients with essential hypertension under similar conditions. By use of the renin-sodium index, hypertensive patients were divided into two subgroup: low-renin hypertension and normal-renin hypertension patients. Urinary kallikrein determinations were also obtained from six hy...

Classification of Adrenal Cortical Disorders Lesions of the adrenals frequently cause disturbance of endocrine function. Various clinical syndromes may result, depending on whether the secretion is increased or diminished and, when it is increased, which hormones predominate. The lesions and syndromes may be classified as follows: A. WITH DISTURBANCE OF CORTICAL FUNCTION i. Increased Secretion:...

1. The OECD initiated a high-priority activity in 1998 to revise existing, and to develop new, Test Guidelines for the screening and testing of potential endocrine disrupting chemicals. The 2002 OECD Conceptual Framework for Testing and Assessment of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals comprises five levels, each level corresponding to a different level of biological complexity (1). The in vitro H29...

In order to study the aging changes of intramitochondrial RNA synthesis of mouse adrenal cells, 10 groups of developing and aging mice, each consisting of 3 individuals, total 30, from fetal day 19 to postnatal newborn at day 1, 3, 9, 14, adult at month 1, 2, 6 and senescent animals at month 12 (year 1) and 24 (year 2) were injected with H-uridine, an RNA precursor, sacrificed 1 hr later and th...
