  4. The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) system: a comparison between breeding and non-breeding naked mole rats (Heterocephalus glaber) by Smith, Caitlin

    Published 2014
    “…This suggests that, in , subordinates, GnRH is inhibited at the level of production. The amino acid structure of the form of GnRH found in the brain of the naked mole rat is currently unknown, therefore a pilot study was carried out, using synthetic mammalian GnRH (mGnRH), mouse brain tissue and naked mole rat pituitaries and hypothalami, to examine and modify (where necessary) the methodologies used for neuropeptide extraction, purification and identification. …”

  10. Cognitive Assessment of Health-Care Workers Exposed to Ionizing Radiation and The Assessment of Radiation Safety Awareness in Different Radiation Oncology Hospitals in Egypt by Saleh, Basma M.

    Published 2023
    “…Recent evidence suggests that low-dose ionizing radiation exposure to the brain may function as a therapeutic technique for fighting neurodegenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer's, and this can be used as a way to track radiation exposure effects based on a simple cognitive assessment test. …”
