Seahorses are characterized by unique characteristics such as a male pregnancy
reproductive strategy and grasping preferences, which make these species vulnerable to …

ZIP9 is a Zn 2+ transporter, testosterone receptor, and mediator of signaling events through
G-proteins. Despite these pivotal properties, however, its physiological and …

The zinc transporter ZnT8 (SLC30A8) localises to insulin secretory granules of β-cells where
it facilitates zinc uptake for insulin crystallisation. ZnT8 abundance has been linked to β-cell …

Simple Summary Haploid male germ cells that originate at the onset of puberty from diploid
precursor cells would be attacked by the innate immune system if they were not protected by …

Zinc dyshomeostasis may play a role in the pathogenesis of myocardial
ischemia/reperfusion injury. The objective of this study was to investigate the expression …

Simple Summary This review addresses the physiological and biochemical connections
between steroidal implants and Zn and their interaction to influence growth in beef cattle …

We recently found that SLC39A5 (ZIP5), a zinc transporter, is overexpressed in esophageal
cancer. Downregulation of ZIP5 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of the …

Men are more likely to develop cancer than women. In fact, male predominance is one of the
most consistent cancer epidemiology findings. Additionally, men have a poorer prognosis …

Boldenone (Bdn) and nandrolone (Ndn) are anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) that, as
