Further, to understand the mechanism underlying ovarian AA accumulation, the expression levels of SMP30/GNL and GULO genes were measured. Expression of both the genes was significantly suppressed, which suggested a lowered AA synthesis in the PMSG treated rat ovary. For further understanding, mRNA expression of AA transporters SVCT1 and SVCT2…[Read more]

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is more prevalent in males; however, the etiology for this sex bias is not well understood. Many mutations on X-linked cell adhesion molecule NLGN4X result in ASD or intellectual disability. NLGN4X is part of an X-Y pair, with NLGN4Y sharing ∼97% sequence homology. Using biochemistry, electrophysiology, and i…[Read more]
