Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the aspects of androgen-dependent events as
studied by antiandrogens. The individual studies covered in the chapter are related only …

We have analyzed at high resolution the neuroanatomical connections of the juxtaparaventricular
region of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHAjp); as a control and in comparison to this, …

Three trials were conducted to evaluate high levels of Zn addition from various Zn sources on
growth performance and plasma Zn responses of 8-kg pigs. Zinc supplements were added …

The cortico–basal ganglia–thalamo–cortical loop is one of the fundamental network motifs
in the brain. Revealing its structural and functional organization is critical to understanding …

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) plays a critical role in the regulation
of autonomic, neuroendocrine, and behavioral activities. This understanding has come from …

An essential step toward understanding brain function is to establish a structural framework
with cellular resolution on which multi-scale datasets spanning molecules, cells, circuits and …

Young pigs have an immature gut and do not provide adequate gastric acidity to digest
nutrients and inhibit bacteria growth in the gut. Diets have intrinsic ability to alter gastric acidity. …

The vagus nerve is the primary means of neural communication between the gastrointestinal
(GI) tract and the brain. Vagally mediated GI signals activate the hippocampus (HPC), a …

Two hundred sixteen crossbred (PIC line 26 × Camborough 15) pigs were used in three trials
to determine optimal digestible lysine levels during early (EF = 50 to 95 kg) and late (LF = …

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced in the small intestines and in nucleus tractus
solitarius (NTS) neurons. Activation of central GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs) reduces feeding …
