Effects of Low Testosterone on Frailty and a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator on Frailty, Frailty Mechanisms, and Cardiac Structure and Function in Older Mice
(2022-09-01)Frailty is a state of increased risk to health issues and can arise in older age and during disease. Low circulating levels of testosterone, especially in older men, are thought to predispose toward a frail state due to ... -
Effects of LPS-induced maternal immune activation on expression of autism-linked genes and autism-like behaviours in neonates and adulthood. Towards a maternal infection model of idiopathic autism
(2018-08-13)Epidemiological studies have revealed a link between maternal immune activation (MIA) and autism-spectrum disorder (ASD) risk. In support of this, the offspring of dams exposed to LPS during pregnancy develop ASD-like ... -
Effects of Maternal Environment on Behavioural Development in Young Adult 3xTg-AD and B6129S/F2 Mice
(2012-08-02)The 3xTg-AD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has three transgenes, one human gene from familial AD (APPswe), one mutated mouse gene (PS1M1461), and one human gene associated with tau pathology (tauP301L). Transgenic ... -
The effects of methylphenidate on gene expression in the developing rat brain.

Effects of Microwave Irradiation (MWI) on Quality of Vermicasts, and Growth of Kale (Brassica oleracea var. sabellica) Plants
(2018-12-06)The application of microwave irradiation (MWI) technique has gained considerable attention in agriculture such as its use to enhance soil properties and extraction of active principles in natural products. It was therefore ... -
The effects of Motor Imagery on Strength Performance
(2013-09-09)Research has shown the combination of strength training and motor imagery can increase isometric force production. This study explored the impact of motor imagery on dynamic strength using a 3RM bench press and back squat. ... -
THE EFFECTS OF NICOTINE ON VIDEO LOTTERY TERMINAL GAMBLING IN REGULAR GAMBLERS WHO SMOKE
(2012-12-11)A growing body of evidence has established that smoking and gambling frequently co-occur. Despite high rates of co-occurrence, few studies have attempted to examine the extent to which nicotine can directly affect gambling ... -

(2019-12-11)Malabar spinach (Basella alba L.) is one of the ethnic leafy vegetables in Canada, which is popular among immigrants of Asian and African origins. However, there are no clearly established production practices for commercial ... -
The Effects of Nucleotide-Containing Product Maxi-GenTM Plus on Stress Level, Immune-Related Gene Expression, Growth Performance and Intestinal Histology of In-Season and Off-Season Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Smolts During Smoltification and Desmoltification Periods
(2015)Trials were conducted to determine the effects of dietary nucleotides fed as Maxi-GenTM Plus on stress level, immune-related gene expression, growth performance and intestinal histology of in-season and off-season Atlantic ... -
EFFECTS OF ONTARIO’S IMMIGRATION POLICY ON YOUNG NON-PERMANENT RESIDENTS BETWEEN 2001 AND 2006
(2013-07-11)The object of this research is to assess the effects of Ontario’s new immigration policy on young non-permanent residents. In particular, it is to evaluate how the wage gap between young non-permanent residents and young ... -
EFFECTS OF OVARIAN HORMONES ON SLEEP AND RECOVERY FROM SLEEP DEPRIVATION IN OVARIECTOMIZED MIDDLE-AGED FEMALE RATS
(2011-09-06)Menopausal symptoms, including sleep problems, occur as a result of reduced production of ovarian hormones in middle-aged women, and are often treated with replacement of these hormones. However, the efficacy of hormone ... -
