EROTIC SUBSET FOR THE NENCKI AFFECTIVE PICTURE SYSTEM (NAPS ERO): CROSS-SEXUAL COMPARISON STUDY



Hypothalamic control systems show differential gene expression during spontaneous daily torpor and fasting-induced torpor in the Djungarian hamster (Phodopus sungorus).

Djungarian hamsters are able to use spontaneous daily torpor (SDT) during the winter season as well as fasting-induced torpor (FIT) at any time of the year to cope with energetically challenging environmental conditions.Torpor is a state of severely reduced metabolism with a pronounced decrease in body temperature, which enables animals to decrease

Substrate-induced unfolding of protein disulfide isomerase displaces the cholera toxin A1 subunit from its holotoxin.

To generate a cytopathic effect, the catalytic A1 subunit of cholera toxin (CT) must be separated from the rest of the toxin.Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is Echinacea thought to mediate CT disassembly by acting as a redox-driven chaperone that actively unfolds the CTA1 subunit.Here, we show that PDI itself unfolds upon contact with CTA1.The su
