Abstract
El objetivo del estudio fue identificar las posibles diferencias a nivel de motivación, autoconfianza y ansiedad que puedan existir en función del sexo y el nivel competitivo de dos grupos de judokas (Grupo de alto rendimiento y Grupo de especialización). Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. Se administraron el Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2R) y el Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ) 10 minutos antes de entrar los judocas al tatami, el día de la competición. Los resultados revelaron diferencias a nivel de ansiedad somática (intensidad), observándose esta más elevada en las mujeres que en los hombres. Se encontraron también diferencias significativas en la variable autoconfianza (intensidad), mostrando los judokas del equipo nacional valores más elevados que los de especialización. No se encontraron diferencias en las variables motivación y autoconfianza en función del sexo, ni en las variables motivación y ansiedad en la comparativa entre ambos grupos.

Abstract
Embryonic development requires the coordinated regulation of apoptosis, survival, autophagy, proliferation and differentiation programs. Senescence has recently joined the cellular processes required to master development, in addition to its well-described roles in cancer and ageing. Here, we show that senescent cells are present in a highly regulated temporal pattern in the developing vertebrate inner ear, first, surrounding the otic pore and, later, in the otocyst at the endolymphatic duct. Cellular senescence is associated with areas of increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation consistent with the induction of the process when the endolymphatic duct is being formed. Modulation of senescence disrupts otic vesicle morphology. Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling interacts with signaling pathways elicited by insulin-like growth factor type 1 (IGF-1) to jointly coordinate cellular dynamics required for morphogenesis and differentiation. Taken together, these results show that senescence is a natural occurring process essential for early inner ear development.

Abstract
Aminoglycoside antibiotics are used widely in medicine despite their ototoxic side-effects. Oxidative stress and inflammation are key mechanisms determining the extent and severity of the damage. Here we evaluate the protective effect of a treatment with resveratrol plus N-acetylcysteine on the ototoxic actions of kanamycin and furosemide in the rat. Resveratrol (10 mg/kg) and N-acetylcysteine (400 mg/kg) were administered together to Wistar rats on 5 consecutive days. The second day, a concentrated solution of kanamycin and furosemide was placed on the round window to induce ototoxicity. Hearing was assessed by recording auditory brainstem responses before and 5, 16 and 23 days after the beginning of the treatment. Cochlear samples were taken at day 5 (end of the treatment) and at day 23, and targeted PCR arrays or RT-qPCR were performed to analyze oxidative balance and inflammation related genes, respectively. In addition, the cytoarchitecture and the presence of apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation markers were evaluated in cochlear sections. Results indicate that administration of resveratrol plus N-acetylcysteine reduced the threshold shifts induced by ototoxic drugs at high frequencies (≈10 dB), although this protective effect fades after the cessation of the treatment. Gene expression analysis showed that the treatment modulated the expression of genes involved in the cellular oxidative (Gpx1, Sod1, Ccs and Noxa1) and inflammatory (Il1b, Il4, Mpo and Ncf) responses to injury. Thus, co-administration of resveratrol and NAC, routinely used individually in patients, could reduce the ototoxic secondary effects of aminoglycosides.

Abstract
Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that results in the lysosomal degradation of cell components. During development, autophagy is associated with tissue and organ remodeling, and under physiological conditions it is tightly regulated as it plays a housekeeping role in removing misfolded proteins and damaged organelles. The vertebrate inner ear is a complex sensory organ responsible for the perception of sound and for balance. Cell survival, death and proliferation, as well as cell fate specification and differentiation, are processes that are strictly coordinated during the development of the inner ear in order to generate the more than a dozen specialized cell types that constitute this structure. Here, we review the existing evidence that implicates autophagy in the generation of the vertebrate inner ear. At early stages of chicken otic development, inhibiting autophagy impairs neurogenesis and causes aberrant otocyst morphogenesis. Autophagy provides energy for the clearing of dying cells and it favors neuronal differentiation. Moreover, autophagy is required for proper vestibular development in the mouse inner ear. The autophagy-related genes Becn1, Atg4g, Atg5, and Atg9, are expressed in the inner ear from late developmental stages to adulthood, and Atg4b mutants show impaired vestibular behavior associated to defects in otoconial biogenesis that are also common to Atg5 mutants. Autophagic flux appears to be age-regulated, augmenting from perinatal stages to young adulthood in mice. This up-regulation is concomitant with the functional maturation of the hearing receptor. Hence, autophagy can be considered an intracellular pathway fundamental for in vertebrate inner ear development and maturation.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process essential for embryonic development and adult homeostasis. The autophagic machinery supplies energy by recycling intracellular components and facilitates the removal of apoptotic cells. In the inner ear, autophagy has been reported to play roles during early development in the chicken embryo and in the response to otic injury in the adult mouse. However, there are no studies on the expression of the autophagy machinery in the postnatal and adult inner ear. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is one of the factors that regulate both otic development and cochlear postnatal maturation and function. Here, we hypothesised that autophagy could be one of the processes involved in the cochlear development and functional maturation. We report that autophagy-related genes (ATG) Becn1, Atg4g and Atg5 are expressed in the mouse cochlea, vestibular system and brainstem cochlear nuclei from late developmental stages to adulthood. Atg9 was studied in the mouse cochlea and showed a similar pattern. The presence of autophagic flux was confirmed by decreased sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1/p62) and increased relative levels of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3-II (LC3-II). Inner ear autophagy flux is developmentally regulated and is lower at perinatal stages than in the adult mouse, where an expression plateau is reached at the age of two-months, coinciding with the age at which full functional activity is reached. Expression is maintained in adult mice and declines after the age of twelve months. LC3B labelling showed that autophagy was primarily associated with spiral ganglion neurons. Over time, Igf1 wild type mice showed lower expression of genes coding for IGF-1 high affinity receptor and the family factor IGF-2 than null mice. Parallel analysis of autophagy machinery gene expression showed no significant differences between the genotypes over the lifespan of the null mice. Taken together, these results show that the autophagy machinery expression in the inner ear is regulated with age but is not compromised by the chronic absence of IGF-1. Our data also strongly support that the up-regulation of autophagy machinery genes is concomitant with the functional maturation of the inner ear.

Abstract
The follicular fluid manage and keeps the nutrition of the oocyte and granulosa cell, which are develop inside this liquid. As well this fluid contains growth hormones, growth factors, and some micro-minerals as zinc (Zn). Resources report that Zn could avoid the earlier meiotic detention of the gametes, strengthen the structure of the chromatin due to the discovery of the Zn fingers, while also decrease the oxidative damage and inhibit the electrodes transportation by connecting to the Cytochrome b. The goals of this research were to determine the Zn concentration in the follicular fluid of female horses and define suitable concentration and supplementation in an embryonic culture. The first step of this research was to obtain follicular fluid from 23 female horses; these were classified by follicular size: F1 <1 cm, F2 between 1 and 2 cm, F3 >2 cm. The Zn was measured by spectrophotometry atomic absorption (μg mL–1). The use of the statistics program SAS version 9.3 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA) with a complementary random model, with factorial adjustments. Significance was established when P < 0.001. Obtaining significant differences on the Zn concentration on different follicles (P < 0001). Group F1 0.68 ± 0.15 μg mL–1, F2 1.42 ± 0.17 μg mL–1, and F3 1.8 ± 0,32. Table 1 shows the results of the volume and total concentration. Results indicate that Zn concentration varies with size and maturity of the follicle. Therefore, Zn required to be supplemented could be different as a function of the follicular development; further studies are required to evaluate the embryonic response to Zn addition in different maturation media and to correlate with survival rates.

Abstract
Although the immunogenic properties of sperm have been explored for a few decades, none of the antigens studied so far appears to be an effective target, to inhibit the fertilization process or shown the full spectrum of sperm antigenic potential. Antisperm antibodies (ASA) collected from infertile individuals and prepubertal boys with cryptorchidism together with two-dimensional (2D) electrophoresis have been employed. Immunoreactive antigens were cored from silver stained 2D gels and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS). The obtained sequences were searched in the published protein databases. Altogether, 35 different sperm entities were identified in accessible protein databases, out of which 10 appeared to be sperm-specific. Additionally, 6 amino acid sequences indicated novel (hypothetical) proteins. Seventeen sperm entities were detected in sera samples from immune infertile males and 18 entities in ASA-positive seminal plasma (SP). Interestingly, we identified a few sperm structures, none of them sperm specific in sera samples from infertile females. Although, infertile males from whom the ASA-positive SP samples were obtained, did not have ASA in their circulation, the range of sperm antigens detected by systematic and local antibodies overlapped to a great extent (six identical entities). Sera samples from prepubertal boys allowed to show antigens, previously thought to be only present on mature sperm. Three out of four detected were sperm-specific. Using serum and SP of ASA-positive infertile adults and sera samples of prepubertal boys with testicular failure, we have extended the range of known, immunogenic sperm proteins as well as identified some novel antigens (n=6) of human sperm for further characterization.

Abstract
A family of testis specific serine/threonine kinases, TSSK1-4 and SSTK, in addition to the substrate of TSSK1 & 2, TSKS, have been studied during the past several years in our laboratory. This paper will provide a general background on these kinases through review of pertinent literature and then will summarize data from our laboratory germane to evaluating these kinases as candidate targets for future development of small molecule kinase inhibitors that may serve to regulate male fertility. Bio-informatic and structural analyses of human TSSK1-4 and SSTK indicate that these kinases constitute a unique subfamily belonging to the AMPK branch on the human kinome tree. Expression studies showed that all five kinases and the TSKS substrate are testis abundant, if not strictly testis specific, indicating that tissue specific contraceptive targeting is possible. In situ hybridization further confirmed that mouse TSSK2, SSTK and TSKS are post-meiotic in their expression patterns, a finding that makes them possible targets of reversible contraceptive intervention by preserving spermatogonia and spermatocytes. Our laboratory detected TSSK2, TSKS and SSTK proteins in mature spermatozoa for the first time. TSKS was localized to the centrioles of human spermatozoa, while TSSK2 was observed in the sperm neck, equatorial segment and mid-piece of the sperm tail, and SSTK was localized in the equatorial segment. The interaction and binding between human TSSK2 and TSKS was confirmed by several methods: this substrate and enzyme interaction offers a particularly interesting opportunity for drug design. In vitro kinase assay showed phosphorylation of TSKS by TSSK2. The TSKS phosphopeptide, HGLSPATPIQGCSGPPGS*PEEPPR, was identified by IMAC-LC-FTMS, with serine 285 being phosphorylated (representend by asterisk). These results provide a rationale for high-throughput screening of inhibitors for TSKS phosphorylation and further studies of members of this kinase family as targets for both male contraception and intra-vaginal spermicides.

Abstract
Interaction between neonatal undernutrition and the increased self-grooming activity upon hair growth of several body areas was analyzed in rats of 10, 20 and 30 days of age. Light microscopic observations on methylene blue impregnated hairs showed that these perinatal influences delayed the growth of hair follicles and thickness and length of hair measurements of the head and thoracic areas. The hair growth of lateral abdominal regions was less affected. Data suggest that hair alterations are primarily related to food deprivation since hair follicle measures of all skin areas were more affected than the distal hair measurements. Moreover, the distribution of impaired hair growth on different body areas correlates well with the increased self-grooming components associated to neonatal undernourishment.

Abstract
The effect of neonatal undernutrition on six different self-grooming components was examined in male rats during the pre- and postweaning periods. Rats underfed by the maternal nipple-ligation procedure before weaning did not exhibit significant score differences in the various self-grooming measurements. In contrast, after weaning they showed a significant increment in the duration of face-washing, head-washing, fur licking and body-scratching. In all cases, the total postweaning self-grooming activity was significantly increased in the formerly underfed rats. Present data suggest that neonatal undernutrition may presumably interfere with the sequential maturational processes of central and/or peripheral mechanisms underlying some components of self-grooming behavior.

Abstract
The electrocortical effects provoked by neonatal undernutrition and the environmental sensorial stimuli were studied in the cortical association areas of developing Wistar rats. When the interaction between these two factors was interfered (Experiment 1), the average frequency of the ECoG in the early starved rats was significantly increased than controls. Moreover, if these two factors were combined (Experiment 2) not significant differences in the ECoG average frequencies were observed. The data suggest that the maturation of cells underlying the ECoG in the association areas of the rat, requires not only an adequate supply of nutrients, but also the influence of sensory cues arising from the mother, littermates and the environmental surrounding.

Abstract
The effects of intraperitoneal thyroxine administration (1 microgram/body weight) on postnatal days 1-3 and the subsequent alterations upon the development of six self-grooming components were measured postnatally in male Wistar rats between days 1-60. Observations on self-grooming components showed that thyroxine-treated rats did not show consistent significant differences in the duration of grooming movements of short displacement directed to the forepaws and head throughout the study, as compared to controls. By contrast, after weaning, the duration of grooming movements of long displacement directed to the fur, genital area, and body scratching were significantly increased. The findings suggest that early thyroxine treatment may primarily interfere with the neural circuitry that modulate long displacement grooming movements, rather than with the substrates controlling short displacement grooming activities. Thus, the hormone might be acting upon neural modulatory systems of self-grooming having different vulnerability in relation to the level of maturity of the brain circuits underlying each grooming component.

Abstract
A Golgi-Cox study was conducted in neurons of the reticular and lateralis thalamic nuclei in normally and early undernourished Wistar rats at 12, 20, and 30 days of age. In a total of 630 neurons the cell body and the dendritic field areas, as well as the number of dendritic prolongations from camera lucida drawings were quantitated. A general and significant reduction in most reticular thalamic nucleus measurements of early-food-deprived rats was observed compared with control littermates. Additionally, reticular thalamic cells in both normal and neonatally underfed rats exhibited a progressive decline, particularly in cell body area with increasing age. In contrast, the lateral thalamic nucleus did not show significant differences between groups when similar neuronal measurements were carried out. The reticular thalamic nucleus is normally related to the control of sensory afferent transmission, and early food deprivation interferes with the growing process of this nucleus. Therefore the present data support the hypothesis that noxious perinatal environmental influences may result in a maturational deficiency of central nervous system modulatory mechanisms.

Abstract
The effect of early food and sensory deprivation on the maternal responsiveness of female rats was investigated. Animals that were neonatally undernourished by daily mother-litter separation (involving both food and sensory deprivation) showed significant deficits in maternal care, consisting of a reduction in nest rating, nursing time, and retrieving responses. Moreover, they exhibited exaggerated grooming and circling movements in comparison with the controls. Dams neonatally undernourished by the nipple-ligation of their mothers (a method that minimizes sensory deprivation) displayed less alterations in maternal behavior, and no significant differences in grooming and circling from the controls. The data suggest that nest rating, nursing time, and retrieving latency are closely related to food restriction, while the frequency of grooming and circling behavior are primarily associated with sensory deprivation. These results support the view that environmental influences related to food intake and sensory stimulation, interacting at critical stages of brain development, are essential for the maturation of adult behavioral patterns.
