Central respiratory chemoreceptors adjust respiratory drive in a homeostatic response to
alterations in brain pH and/or P CO 2 . Multiple brainstem sites are proposed as neural …

Leak K + currents contribute to the resting membrane potential and are important for modulation
of neuronal excitability. Within the past few years, an entire family of genes has been …

The recent identification of a distinct family of genes encoding two-pore domain potassium
channels that generate background, or leak, K+ currents has permitted the analysis of the …

Inhibition of "leak" potassium (K + ) channels is a widespread CNS mechanism by which
transmitters induce slow excitation. We show that TASK-1, a two pore domain K + channel, …

Despite widespread use of volatile general anesthetics for well over a century, the mechanisms
by which they alter specific CNS functions remain unclear. Here, we present evidence …

It is not clear whether the turnover of ovarian follicles during the estrous cycle in cattle is
continuous and independent of the phase of the cycle, or whether waves of follicular growth …

The recently described two-pore-domain K + channels, TASK-1 and TASK-3, generate
currents with a unique set of properties; specifically, the channels produce instantaneous open-…

In cattle the development of ovarian follicles ≥5 mm occurs in waves, with either two or three
waves per estrous cycle. To increase our understanding of the control of follicular dynamics …

… Genomic organization of the mouse 1α(OH)ase region was determined by cloning the gene
from a 129sv/J library as described (17). (B) Analysis of genomic DNA isolated from pups …

The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient ovarian endocrine gland formed from the ovulated follicle.
Progesterone is the primary secretory product of CL and is essential for establishment of …
