In theory, they bind to the receptor and place it in a conformation that is significantly different than typical androgen receptors stimulators (such as steroids), and therefore are able to alter the gene-transcription process in a manner that is tissue specific.
Latest News. Coyotes Not a Danger to Humans in Mississauga. Coyotes have been in the news frequently in the wake of several attacksâsome of them fatal, unfortunatelyâon household pets. According to this CityNews video, yet another Mississauga resident is reeling after a near-fatal attack on her dog, Lola.
An encounter with a coyote in the urban and suburban landscape is a rare event, even where coyotes are found in large numbers. These animals are generally nocturnal and seldom seen. You may catch a glimpse of a coyote, however, as they move from one part of their territory to another in search of prey (usually small mammals such as mice or voles). Observing a coyote in this manner (even during the daytime) does not mean that the coyote is sick or aggressive. If the coyote is scared away by your presence, they are exhibiting natural behavior and this should not be cause for concern.
