背景:
- メラトニンは,多くの哺乳類の季節的生殖を調節する重要なホルモンです.
- フォトペリオドは生殖状態に影響し,長い日は典型的に刺激的で,短い日は性腺機能を抑制します.
研究 の 目的:
- メラトニンがハムスターの丸に及ぼす双重のプロ・アンド・アンチゴナダル効果を調査する.
- メラトニンの投与量と投与経路が,異なる光周期下で丸の反応に及ぼす影響を決定する.
主な方法:
- ハムスターは長日 (14:10 光:暗) または短日 (6:18 光:暗) で飼育された.
- 異なる長さのカプセルを通して,異なる量のメラトニンを投与しました.
- メラトニン治療と光周期に対する反応として,丸のサイズと回帰を評価した.
主要な成果:

01:39Epistasis
In addition to multiple alleles at the same locus influencing traits, numerous genes or alleles at different locations may interact and influence phenotypes in a phenomenon called epistasis. For example, rabbit fur can be black or brown depending on whether the animal is homozygous dominant or heterozygous at a TYRP1 locus. However, if the rabbit is also homozygous recessive at a locus on the tyrosinase gene (TYR), it will have an unshaded coat that appears white, regardless of its TYRP1...
01:58X-Inactivation
The human X chromosome contains over ten times the number of genes as in the Y chromosome. Since males have only one X chromosome, and females have two, one might expect females to produce twice as many of the proteins, with undesirable results.

Agouti: A Lethal Allele
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
