Seasonal neuroendocrine cycles that govern annual changes in reproductive activity,
energy metabolism and hair growth are almost ubiquitous in mammals that have evolved at …

In vertebrates, the energy balance process is tightly controlled by complex neural circuits
that sense metabolic signals and adjust food intake and energy expenditure in line with the …

Animals have evolved diverse seasonal variations in physiology and reproduction to
accommodate yearly changes in environmental and climatic conditions. These changes in …

We investigated the temperature effects on hypothalamic transcription of genes involved in
the induction of photoperiodic response in redheaded buntings. Birds were exposed at 22 …

Animal survival relies on a constant balance between energy supply and energy
expenditure, which is controlled by several neuroendocrine functions that integrate …

Background In cold and temperate zones, seasonal reproduction plays a crucial role in the
survival and reproductive success of species. The photoperiod influences reproductive …

Background Domestic geese are seasonal breeders and have the lowest reproductive
capacity among all poultry species. Magang geese is a topical short-day breeder, short …

This study unravels the intricate interplay between photoperiod, melatonin, and kisspeptin to
orchestrate the pubertal onset of Common carp. Female fingerlings exposed to long days …

Seasonal rhythms in energy balance are well documented across temperate and equatorial
zones animals. The long-term regulated changes in seasonal physiology consists of a …

Neuroendocrine structures integrate a vast range of external cues and internal signals that,
in turn, result in adaptive physiological responses. Emerging data indicate that light, social …
