Progesterone is an ovarian steroid hormone that is essential for normal breast development. The actions of progesterone are largely mediated through binding to its cognate steroid hormone receptor, the progesterone receptor (PR). PR isoforms exist in the nucleus and transcriptionally activate genes necessary for proliferation and survival (classical role). Cytoplasmic or membrane-associated PR exists in the cytoplasm where it participates in protein complexes with signaling molecules and other steroid hormone receptors capable of rapid activation of cytoplasmic protein kinase cascades. This review details the extra nuclear scaffolding actions of PR with c-Src and MEK1, the upstream components of MAP kinase modules.

This study examined the energy-dependent physiological responses, including stress, innate immune, and antioxidant systems, as well as indicators of energy mobilization, in pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) exposed to intermittent cold, aiming to assess the correlations between these responses. The fish were acclimated to 28 °C, divided into two groups, a control group maintained at 28 °C, and another exposed to 16 °C for two 24 h periods with a 5-day interval between them. The fish were sampled at six time points: baseline (after acclimatization to 28 °C), 24 h after the 1st exposure to 16 °C, after 5 days of recovery at 28 °C, 24 h after the 2nd exposure to 16 °C, and after 24 and 48 h of recovery at 28 °C.

Application of algicides produced by naturally occurring bacteria is considered an environmentally friendly approach to control harmful algal blooms. However, few studies assess the effects of bacterial algicides on non-target species, either independently or with other stressors. Here, we measured sub-lethal effects of dinoflagellate-specific algicide IRI-160AA on the estuarine fish Fundulus heteroclitus and Menidia menidia in laboratory experiments.

Myocardial remodelling involves structural and functional changes in the heart, potentially leading to heart failure. The deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)/salt model is a widely used experimental approach to study hypertension-induced cardiac remodelling. It allows to investigate the mechanisms underlying myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy, which are key contributors to impaired cardiac function.
