The present research examined how men and women with long short term mating preferences perceive static male nonverbal behavior. Participants saw images of interacting depicting different degrees of: space maximization, reciprocated/non-reciprocated intrasexual touch, gesticulation patterns gesture/no gesture palm up/neutral gestures, head cant (tilt), automanipulations, open/closed limb positi...

UNLABELLED The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy is multifactorial, involving gut-derived toxins such as ammonia, which has been demonstrated to induce oxidative stress. Therefore, a primary hepatic encephalopathy treatment target is reducing ammonia production in the gastrointestinal tract. AST-120, an oral adsorbent of engineered activated carbon microspheres with surface areas exceeding...

An adequate frequency of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulses appears to be important for physiological gonadotropin secretion. However, limited information exists on the exact role of this parameter in the regulation of the human menstrual cycle. Thus we studied gonadotropin and gonadal steroid secretion in 32 women with primary hypogonadotropic amenorrhea who received pulsatile GnRH (...

Pregnant ewes were implanted with 1 g testosterone between days 30-80, 50-100, 70-120 or 90-140 of gestation. Ewes treated between days 30-80 and 50-100 showed increased aggressive behaviour and clitoral enlargement, whereas this was not seen in the day 70-120 or 90-140 groups. Although the implants released similar amounts of testosterone at all stages of gestation, plasma testosterone concent...

Choukèr, A., M. Thiel, V. Baranov, D. Meshkov, A. Kotov, K. Peter, K. Messmer, and F. Christ. Simulated microgravity, psychic stress, and immune cells in men: observations during 120-day 6° HDT. J Appl Physiol 90: 1736–1743, 2001.—Because 6° head-down tilt (HDT) is an established method to mimic low gravity on earth, the aim of the present study was to determine the effects of 120-day HDT on ps...
