Hypertonic preconditioning inhibits macrophage responsiveness to endotoxin.
Hypertonic saline has been shown to modulate cell shape and the response of components of the innate immune response. However, the effect of hypertonic saline on the macrophage remains unknown. We hypothesized that hypertonic preconditioning would impair subsequent inflammatory mediator signaling through a reduction in stress fiber polymerization and mitogen-activated protein kinase activity af...
متن کاملGonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist-induced pituitary apoplexy
UNLABELLED Pituitary apoplexy represents an uncommon endocrine emergency with potentially life-threatening consequences. Drug-induced pituitary apoplexy is a rare but important consideration when evaluating patients with this presentation. We describe an unusual case of a patient with a known pituitary macroadenoma presenting with acute-onset third nerve palsy and headache secondary to tumour e...
متن کاملEffect of copper status, supplementation, and source on pituitary responsiveness to exogenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone in ovariectomized beef cows.
The effect of Cu status, supplementation, and source on pituitary responsiveness to exogenous GnRH was evaluated using nine multiparous, nonpregnant, nonsuckling, ovariectomized Angus cows (7.1 +/- 3.3 yr; 622.9 +/- 49.8 kg; BCS = 6.0 +/- 0.5). Cows were considered Cu-deficient based on liver Cu concentrations (< 30 mg of Cu/kg of DM) after receiving a low-Cu, forage-based diet supplemented (DM...
متن کاملCharacterization of Seasonal Variations in Responsiveness of Pituitary Gland to Different Doses of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone in Buffalo Cows
In tropical countries such as India, it has been observed that a number of buffalo cows experience seasonal anestrous during summer months. This might be due to seasonal changes in responsiveness of pituitary gland to gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and/or decreased hypothalamic GnRH release. Attempts were made to characterize the responsiveness of pituitary gland to a range of doses (0.1...
متن کاملEffect of suckling on pituitary responsiveness to gonadotropin-releasing hormone throughout the early postpartum period of beef cows.
The objective of this study was to compare pituitary responsiveness to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) throughout the early postpartum period (PP) in beef cows suckling in single calf vs cows which had calves removed at birth. The experiment utilized 48 cows in a 2 X 4 factorial. Main effects studied were suckling status (suckled or nonsuckled) and days PP (d 3, 10, 20 or 30). Covariates ...
