    Sexual hormones in Achyla. V. Properties of hormone A of Achyla bisexualis

    Get PDF
    1. The hormonal coordinating mechanism of the sexual process in Achlya is briefly reviewed. 2. A technique is described for culturing the female plant of Achlya bisexualis in sufficient quantity to furnish material for the chemical study of hormone A. 3. A modification of the biological assay for hormone A is described. 4. Many of the properties of hormone A have been determined: (a) solubilities in common organic solvents, (b) adsorption, (c) stability, (d) inactivation, and (e) reactions with certain reagents. 5. A procedure is described whereby enormous enrichment of the active principle has been achieved

    The Influence of Maternal Aerobic Exercise During Pregnancy on Health Disparities and Birth Outcomes

    Health inequities are defined as any apparent disparity in the health of different individuals due to a preventable cause (Penman-Aguilar, Talih, Huang, Moonesinghe, Bouye & Beckles, 2016). Some determinants of health inequities seen in the United States are race, socioeconomic status, and education level (Penman-Aguilar et al., 2016). In pregnancy, these determinants can contribute to adverse maternal, fetal, and neonatal birth outcomes. For example, African American (AA) women are at a higher risk for preterm birth, or delivery before 37 weeks’ gestation (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018). Preterm birth is important to research because it can cause adverse outcomes such as low birth weights and developmental delays (CDC, 2018). Current research demonstrates the benefits of maternal exercise on birth outcomes such as preterm birth, but fails to investigate the influence of maternal exercise and nutrition on attenuating adverse birth outcomes in AA (Chan, Au Yeung, & Law, 2019). The purpose of this study was to evaluate if supervised exercise training during gestation have similar birth outcome measures in AA and Caucasian infants. In this cross-sectional comparison study, women in the Greenville, North Carolina area are recruited at 16 weeks of pregnancy to participate in weekly exercise. Participants were randomized into 4 groups: aerobic only, combination (aerobic and resistance), resistance only, or non-exercise . Participants completed 150 minutes of moderate intensity weekly exercise from 16 weeks gestational age to delivery. At birth, measures were assessed, including gestational age and birth weight. Standard ANOVAs, multiple t-tests, and logistic regressions were performed to detect differences in measures between the populations. Maternal exercise intervention had similar outcome measures between AA and Caucasians for gestational age. Caucasian and AA infants exposed to maternal exercise had similar measures of gestational age at birth (p=0.227). 20% (6/30) of AA had preterm births relative to 8.5% (8/94) of Caucasians. AA women had significantly (p<0.001) lower birth weights than Caucasian women. These results suggest that maternal exercise has a similar maternal physiological response that benefits African American and Caucasian infants alike regarding gestational. Thus, maternal exercise may be a low cost non-pharmacological way to attenuate adverse birth outcomes in AA women, such as preterm births. Lower birth weights is expected in AA women despite the lower rates of preterm birth. Further research is required to understand birth weight, other birth outcomes, and long term effects

    Pathfinding by growth cones in the central nervous system of the grasshopper embryo

    Journal ArticleIn the grasshopper embryo the morphological development of individually identified neurons can be traced prior to the onset of axonogenesis on through maturity (eg., Goodman and Spitzer, 1979). The behavior of individual growth cones can be characterized in their natural environment as they extend towards their targets

    Guidance of neuronal growth cones: selective fasciculation in the grasshopper embryo

    Get PDF
    Journal ArticleOne of the central questions of developmental neurobiology concerns how the diversity and specificity of individual neurons are generated during embryonic development. One major component of neuronal diversity is the complex axonal morphology of individual neurons, largely generated early in development and intimately involved in the ability of neurons to find their correct synaptic targets
