Observations on Rolland’s Grebe

Observaciones sobre el Macá común. El Macá común (Rellandia rolland = Podiceps rol1and ) es una especie abundante y ampliamente distribuída en la región templada de Sudamérica. Se encuentra tanto en grandes como en pequeños cuerpos de agua y se alimenta de muchas clases de animales, desde pequeños invertebrados hasta peces. Su comportamiento sexual incluye un "Advertising", un "Head-shaking", un "Wing·raising" y una peculiar "Bumping Ceremony". Corresponde mejor colocar a este macá en el género Rollandic , junto con la especie no voladora micropterum .Rolland's Grebe is abundant and widespread In temperate South America. It is found on both large and small bodies of water and feeds on many kinds of animals from small invertebrates to fish. Its day-to-day activities resemble those of other grebes. Its courtship patterns include Advertising, Head-shaking, Wing-raising, and a peculiar Bumping Ceremony. It is best placed in the genus Rollandia with the flightless species micropterum

Acute Responses of Cytokines and Adipokines to Aerobic Exercise in Relapsing vs. Remitting Women with Multiple Sclerosis

Objective: To examine the acute effect of exercise on cytokines and adipokines during relapse and the remitting phase of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: Thirty women with MS in the relapsing or remitting phase were matched with fifteen healthy controls. Participants performed a single-bout of aerobic exercise at 60-70% maximal heart rate. Furthermore, five women in the relapsing phase were enrolled (control relapse) and did not receive any intervention. Blood samples were taken before, immediately after, 1-hour and 6-hours after the exercise. Results: Levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in response to exercise were similar in healthy and MS remitting subjects. Compared to baseline, TNF-α levels in relapsing subjects were significantly decreased immediately after exercise. Immediately following exercise, leptin levels significantly decreased in relapsing subjects. Adiponectin and IL-6 showed no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: After relapse, exercise does not induce inflammatory cytokine response and temporarily improves both cytokine and adipokine balance
