Hormonal regulation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in epididymal adipose tissue.
Treatment of rat epididymal adipose tissue with insulin for a few minutes leads to a substantial increase in the rate of fatty acid synthesis, which is explained in part by rapid activation of the cytoplasmic enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (Denton, 1975; Denton et al., 1977; Brownsey & Denton, 1979). The effects of insulin on fatty acid synthesis are opposed by adrenaline, but the changes in kin...
متن کاملThermogenic mechanisms and their hormonal regulation.
Increased heat generation from biological processes is inherent to homeothermy. Homeothermic species produce more heat from sustaining a more active metabolism as well as from reducing fuel efficiency. This article reviews the mechanisms used by homeothermic species to generate more heat and their regulation largely by thyroid hormone (TH) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Thermogenic m...
متن کاملClinical and Experimental Investigations on the Genital Functions and Their Hormonal Regulation
In the village of Godamuri some 70 miles south and west of Calcutta, two children were found, October, 1920, with four wolf cubs and two or three adult wolves. The older child, called Kamala, who had now reached the age of about eight years, was placed in the hands of a missionary who maintained an orphanage and there she remained until her death nine years later. The other wolf child died earl...
متن کاملStructures, Functions and Expressions of GnRH and GnRH Receptor in Peripheral Reproductive Organs and Their Regulation by Estradiol-17β
Studies have shown that estradiol-17β (E2) regulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and GnRH receptor expression in hypothalamus and pituitary. Several studies have shown that GnRH and its receptor are also expressed in peripheral reproductive organs and little is known about their regulations. In this study, GnRH and GnRH receptor structures, functions, their peripheral expressions and ...
متن کاملTesticular regulation of epididymal protein secretion.
The effects of different androgen and testicular fluid levels on the protein synthesis and secretion of the epididymis of mice and rats were examined. In mice, the in vitro protein synthesis and secretion of five epididymal segments were measured from 3 days up to 8 weeks after efferent duct ligation. During the entire period, alterations in the rate of protein secretion per milligram tissue we...
