Skeletal muscle development in vertebrates - also termed myogenesis - is a highly integrated process. Evidence to date indicates that the processes are very similar across mammals, poultry and fish, although the timings of the various steps differ co...

We investigated whether histaminergic tone contributes to the seasonal catabolic state in Siberian hamsters by determining the effect of ablation of histaminergic neurons on food intake, metabolic rate and body weight. A ribosomal toxin (saporin) con... Read More about Histaminergic regulation of seasonal metabolic rhythms in Siberian hamsters.

Hydrogen sulfide and cell signaling (2011)
Journal Article
