REPEATED CHANGES TO THE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE SERUM CONCENTRATION OF SELECT GROWTH FACTORS AND CYTOKINES

Repeated Changes to the Gravitational Field Negatively Affect the Serum Concentration of Select Growth Factors and Cytokines

Space flights, some physical activities, and extreme sports can greatly alter the gravitational forces experienced by the body.Being a deviation from the constant pull of Earth, these alterations can be considered gravitational stress and have the potential to affect physiological processes.Physical cues play a vital role in the homeostasis and fun

Genetic and Epigenetic Changes Are Rapid Responses of the Genome to the Newly Synthesized Autotetraploid Carassius auratus

Whole genome duplication events have occurred frequently during the course of vertebrate evolution.To better understand the influence of polyploidization on the fish genome, we herein used the autotetraploid Carassius auratus (4n = 200, RRRR) (4nRR) resulting from the whole genome Sugar And Salt Substitutes duplication of Carassius auratus (2n = 10
