Since unmemorable time, no one wants to be "old". In some ancient societies human believed aging as a curse and youthfulness as the boon of God. The trend follows still today as old age brings on many in capabilities, nobody wants to be aged. So, as the science progresses the researches on "how to prevent ageing" has been develop
The present review highlights the prominent role of the hormone melatonin which is secreted from pineal gland in delaying the aging process. It also emphasizes its therapeutic modalities in future anti-ageing research.

Chronobiology deals with rhythmic patterns that occur in all forms of life. In humans and in other animals like rats prominent rhythms are found in blood pressure, body core temperature, reproductive function, etc. This review deals with the hormonal interplay in regulation of circadian rhythms of animals. It is complemented with authoritative reports drawn from experiments conducted to demonstrate the roles of hormones like Melatonin of Pineal gland, which has a prominent role in controlling rhythms of reproductive function, sleep and activity. Melatonin therapy can also be helpful in case of elderly insomniacs and shift workers. This work also involves the role of some other hormones like : Adreno-cortical hormones.
This overview can provide some insights into the treatment of diseases related to alterations in circadian rhythms.

The present introspective article focuses on Pheochromocytoma- a rare type of tumor related to the endocrine gland Adrenal; - specifically the chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla. The morpho – histology, types, etiology (which includes molecular and genetic causes) and classification of the syndromes associated with Pheochromocytoma are discussed here in detail. Treatments related with this adrenomedullary tumor, which includes certain drugs and surgical interventions) are also mentioned in this communication with equal emphasis.References

The purpose of the present investigation is to perform “Chemical adrenocortectomy” in pigeon by administration of O, - DDD to understand the direct influence of the adrenal cortex on the male gonadal physiology. O, - DDD, a selective adrenocorticolytic and antimetastatic agent in humans and dogs, is also used as a pesticide. In contrast to mammals, this drug induces high mortality rate in pigeons. Althrough O, - DDD treatment exerts no perceptible change in the adrenal cortex of pigeon, its degenerative action on the testes and reducing effect on the plasma T4 level are highly significant. It may be suggested from the above findings that the testicular atrophy is due to o, - DDD induced “chemical thyroidectomy” (through the withdrawal of T4) in pigeon.

The present review traces the path of knowledge regarding the effects of exogenous agents on the endocrine system, the events which gave rise to the explosion of interest in this topic in the mid-1990's, and how it led to a fundamentally different paradigm in toxicity testing as well as a great deal of basic research on mechanisms of endocrine-mediated toxicity. Furthermore, in this review the history of testing for endocrine-mediated toxicity is covered, followed by coverage of key historical events in basic science, and then these two are brought together to discuss implications of the science on testing both now and tor the future.

Our present review deals with the significant roles of Adrenocorticomedullary hormones viz. Glucocorticoids and Catecholamines (Epinephrine & Norepinephrine) in amelioration of a particular type of stress i.e., psychophysical stress. From our review, it became evident that these hormones play a very significant role in counteracting psychophysical stressors in different species.

The present review highlights different modulatory effects of vitamins upon the hormonal action in animals. Years of research works related to the biological activities of vitamins revealed that the vitamins can profusely influence the endocrine glands i.e. they can act as the hormonal modulators. (Machlin, 1984). The modulatory effects of certain vitamins on different hormones are briefly discussed in the present review.

Zooplankton are the major mode of energy transfer between Phytoplankton and fish and important for fish population. Zooplanktons also play an important role to serve as bio indicators as well as to assess the pollution status of water. In this present study, we tried to investigate the plankton species richness, diversity and evenness and to state the condition of a freshwater tropical perennial pond, Padmapukur of PratapBagan, Bankura. Diversity of different group of zooplankton is more in summer season than the winter and rainy season. The population density of zooplanktons varies from month to month and recorded maximum density (91) in the month of November, 2012 and minimum density (40) in the month of August, 2013.

The traditional image of Oxytocin as a purely Neurohypophyseal hormone with endocrine actions in parturition and lactation has certainly been challenged in recent years. In the present review, we have discussed it’s other functional roles viz. in sexual response, in different emotional states, in excretory physiology, cardiac function, in autism, in the development of maternal behaviour, and interestingly, it’s involvement in the male reproductive physiology.References

Our review deals with the unique phenomenon of hibernation in the animal world and its endocrine control. The probable cause of hibernation; how animals overcome the environmental stress by hibernating are discussed here. This review introspects the role of different hormones during the process of hibernation in animals finally the effect of global warming on hibernating animals is also highlighted.References

The study of Pheromones is one of the most important, interesting, as - well - as, intriguing in the field of Communication biology. The modes of intraspecific communication in animals via pheromones (odour substances / chemicals) are quite fascinating. Characteristics, origins, chemical natures and the importance of pheromones are discussed in details in the present article. The "Releaser" and "Priming" actions of pheromones are described in details with examples. A special emphasis was also given on a recently developed field concerning Human pheromones, - particularly in relation with sexual behavior.- Biomedical Importance of the Gila Monster Venom

Among vertebrates, the class Reptilia acquires a significant place for some of their distinctive features and one of them is production of poison or venom. One prominent example is the lizard known as Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum). Found in United States and North-West Mexican states of Sonora, these lizards have glands (that secretes poison), which are located on both sides of their lower jaw which is transferred through grooves along with their saliva.Keywords

The use of information and technology has introduced modernism and automation to many aspects of library work and has eased the workload of library professionals. The management of library users and the providing of their effective library services are crucial components of the library system. When a new visitor first arrives at the library, he or she must first become a library member in order to use the library. Currently, the entire process of the library’s membership system is done using the patron module of Koha software. In the present study, all the features of patron module in Koha have been highlighted so that the library staff can perform patron management work quickly. As a result, this study is helpful for library and information professionals to improve their technical skills and expertise while dealing with library users.Keywords
