Effects of Crocin on The Pituitary-Gonadal Axis and Hypothalamic Kiss-1 Gene Expression in Female Wistar Rats
Background: Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is traditionally used as a spice for coloring and flavoring in cooking in some countries. One of the main component of saffron is Crocin. Recent researches have shown Crocin has various pharmacological effects. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Crocin on the Pituitary-Gonadal Axis and Kiss-1 gene expression in hypothalamus and also ovarian...
متن کاملFeedback on a feedback loop: the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
Recent evidence indicates that transthyretin (TTR), the major transport protein for thyroxine [1] and retinol binding protein [2], plays important roles in amyloidβ (Aβ) metabolism. Transthyretin has been demonstrated to bind Aβ in vitro [3,4] and in vivo [5,6], colocalize in Aβ plaques and within neurons containing intracellular Aβ [7], and recent evidence suggests it might act as a transport ...
متن کاملPopulation pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis
The present thesis deals with different aspects of population pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modelling of the male hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The thesis consists of a summary report and five scientific research papers. An overview of the main topics covered in the thesis is provided in the summary report including PK/PD modelling in drug development, the pathological, ...
متن کاملActivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in infancy: minipuberty.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is active in the midgestational foetus but silenced towards term because of the negative feedback effects mediated by the placental hormones. This restraint is removed at birth, leading to reactivation of the axis and an increase in gonadotrophin levels. Gonadotrophin levels are high during the first 3 months of life but decrease towards the age of ...
متن کاملThe hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis: immune function and autoimmunity.
GnRH and sex steroids play an important role in immune system modulation and development. GnRH and the GnRH receptor are produced locally by immune cells, suggesting an autocrine role for GnRH. Experimental studies show a stimulatory action of exogenous GnRH on the immune response. The immune actions of GnRH in vivo are, however, less well established. Oestrogen and androgen receptors are expre...
