Expression of Melanocortin 4 Receptor mRNA in Male Rat Hypothalamus During Chronic Stress
The effects of chronic stress and glucocorticoids receptor antagonist (RU486) on expression of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of male rats were evaluated. In this study, adult male Sprague Dawley rats were placed into four groups (n=6/group) stress, RU486, stress/RU486, and control groups. In stress group, the rats were restrained, 1 h/day, for 12 days. In RU486 gr...
متن کاملTestosterone Reduces Knee Passive Range of Motion and Expression of Relaxin Receptor Isoforms via 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Androgen Receptor Binding
Ovarian steroids such as estrogen and progesterone have been reported to influence knee laxity. The effect of testosterone, however, remains unknown. This study investigated the effect of testosterone on the knee range of motion (ROM) and the molecular mechanisms that might involve changes in the expression of relaxin receptor isoforms, Rxfp1 and Rxfp2 in the patella tendon and lateral collater...
متن کاملEffects of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and 17β-Estradiol on the Mouse Ovarian Follicle Development and Oocyte Maturation
We have previously reported that androstenedione induces abnormalities of follicle development and oocyte maturation in the mouse ovary. In granulosa cells of the ovarian follicle, androstenedione is aromatized to 17β-estradiol (E2). To determine whether the androgen or estrogen acts directly on the follicle to induce the above-mentioned abnormalities, we compared the effects of a non-aromatiza...
متن کاملAndrogen-mediated modulation of macrophage function following trauma-hemorrhage: The central role of 5α-dihydrotestosterone
Androgens have been implicated as the causative factor for the post-injury immune dysfunction in males; however, it remains unknown whether androgens directly affect macrophages. To study this, male mice were sham-operated or subjected to trauma (i.e., midline laparotomy) and hemorrhagic shock (MAP 30 ± 5 mmHg for 90 min and then resuscitated). The mice received the 5α-reductase inhibitor 4-hyd...
متن کاملEffects of mating on progesterone receptor isoforms in rat hypothalamus.
In rodents, the display of sexual behavior during proestrus-estrus transition depends on the effect of estradiol and progesterone. Progesterone exerts its effects through intracellular receptor (PR) of which two isoforms (PR-A and PR-B) are found, with different regulation and function. In this study the effects of mating on the expression pattern of PR isoforms in the hypothalamus were investi...
