Polar bears (Ursus maritimus), the most evolutionary advanced hibernators, avoid significant bone loss during hibernation
Journal Article
Lennox, A. R., & Goodship, A. E. Polar bears (Ursus maritimus), the most evolutionary advanced hibernators, avoid significant bone loss during hibernation. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cbpa.2007.11.012

Some hibernating animals are known to reduce muscle and bone loss associated with mechanical unloading during prolonged immobilisation, compared to humans. However, here we show that wild pregnant polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are the first known ani...

Sympathetic nervous system and bone adaptive response to its mechanical environment
Journal Article
Marenzana, M., & Chenu, C. Sympathetic nervous system and bone adaptive response to its mechanical environment

While bone adaptive response to its mechanical environment was considered to be controlled locally by cytokines and systemic hormones, some recent work suggests that it could also be neuronally regulated. Bone is indeed very densely innervated and ma... Read More about Sympathetic nervous system and bone adaptive response to its mechanical environment.

Evaluation of the induction of vasoactive mediators from equine digital vein endothelial cells by endotoxin
Journal Article
Menzies-Gow, N. J., Bailey, S. R., Berhane, Y., Brooks, A. C., & Elliott, J. Evaluation of the induction of vasoactive mediators from equine digital vein endothelial cells by endotoxin. American Journal of Veterinary Research, 69(3), 349-355

Objective - To determine the effect of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) on vasoactive mediator production by cultured equine digital vein endothelial cells (EDVECs). Sample Population - EDVECs obtained from forelimb digital veins of 7 healthy adu...
