Specyfika rozwoju osobniczego Homo sapiens na tle ssaków łożyskowych i Naczelnych by Sławomir Kozieł, Anna Siniarska

“…During ontogeny, there are many phenomena that significantly differentiate humans from other mammals, including Primates. The present considerations and analysis of regression applied for many species to illustrate allometric relations of developmental spurts of height and weight to final values of these parameters in adults, allow to compare processes of growth of Homo sapiens with other Primates and to submit the following results: In Homo sapiens, the maximal rate of growth in length and body mass exists at the prenatal period (during gestation), and after birth, it decelerates. …”

Glucoraphanin conversion into sulforaphane and related compounds by gut microbiota by Tetiana R. Dmytriv, Tetiana R. Dmytriv, Oleh Lushchak, Oleh Lushchak, Volodymyr I. Lushchak, Volodymyr I. Lushchak

“…Sulforaphane is formed by the hydrolysis of glucoraphanin by a plant enzyme called myrosinase, which is inactivated in the stomach of mammals. Since the latter do not have enzymes possessing myrosinase-like activity, glucoraphanin can be metabolized by the gut microbiota, to sulforaphane, sulforaphane-nitrile, glucoerucin, erucin, and erucin-nitrile. …”

Cortical and subcortical activities during food rewards versus social interaction in rats by Florbela Rocha-Almeida, Ana R. Conde-Moro, Antonio Fernández-Ruiz, José M. Delgado-García, Agnès Gruart

“…Abstract Balancing food foraging with social interaction is crucial for survival and reproduction in many species of mammals. We wanted to investigate the reward preferences in adult male rats by allowing them to lever-press for both food and social rewards (interaction with another rat), while their performance and electrophysiological activities were recorded. …”

THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE CYCLES AND THEIR ROLE IN THE EVOLUTION OF BASIC CHROMOSOME NUMBERS IN VARIOUS ORGANISMS by A. I. Shchapova

“…It is believed that the BCN of the placental ancestor was x = 40–50; of the marsupial ancestor, 16–20; and of oviparous mammals, 5–6. The significant difference among BCNs of the ancestors of the three mammal subclasses, which diverged tens of millions of years ago, suggests that the evolution of BCNS in the ancestors of marsupials and placentals involved polyploidy followed by dysploidy.The species analyzed demonstrate a correlation between life cycle type and BCN.The results indicate that the genetic difference in sex determination systems were the main cause of BCN variation in the species analyzed, differing in life cycle type. …”

Roles of core fucosylation modification in immune system and diseases by Qiu Pan, Xiao-Lian Zhang

“…Core fucosylation, catalyzed by α1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8), is an important N-glycosylation modification process that attaches a fucose residue via an α1,6-linkage to the core N-acetylglucosamine of N-glycans in mammals. Research over the past three decades has revealed the critical role of FUT8-mediated core fucosylation modification in various physiological and pathological processes, including cell growth, adhesion, receptor activation, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), tumor metastasis and infections. …”
