Effects of stress hormone cortisol on the mRNA expression of myogenenin, MyoD, Myf5, PAX3 and PAX7.

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of stress hormone cortisol on the myogenic markers in the C2C12 cells co-cultured with 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Co-culturing was achieved by transwell inserts with a 0.4 μm porous membrane.

Synthetic pyrethroid effect on blood plasma biomarker enzymes and histological changes in Catla catla.
