Development of locomotion in low water exposure using sturgeon

This study investigates sturgeon locomotion in low water conditions, finding that they exhibit behavioural adaptations similar to escape responses, improving their mobility through trunk-twisting actions.

Elevated blood pressure in high fat diet-exposed low birth weight rat offspring is most likely caused by elevated glucocorticoid levels

This study shows that high-fat diet exposure increases blood pressure in low birth weight rats through elevated glucocorticoid levels, suggesting a therapeutic target for hypertension in LBW individuals.
