Orexin-B modulates luteinizing hormone and growth hormone secretion from porcine pituitary cells in culture.
To test the hypothesis that orexin-B acts directly on the anterior pituitary to regulate LH and growth hormone (GH) secretion, anterior pituitary cells from prepuberal gilts were studied in primary culture. On day 4 of culture, 10(5) cells/well were challenged with 0.1, 10 or 1000 nM GnRH; 10, 100 or 1000 nM [Ala15]-hGRF-(1-29)NH2 or 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 nM, orexin-B individually or in combination...
متن کاملCortistatin and pituitary hormone secretion in rat.
Cortistatin (CST), a novel neuropeptide, shows high structural homology and functional resemblance with somatostatin. CST binds with high affinity to all somatostatin receptors, and contrary to somatostatin, is also able to bind with MrgX2 and GH secretagogue receptor of ghrelin (GHS-R1) receptors. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate in vivo the effect of peripheral administrat...
متن کاملMelatonin modulates secretion of growth hormone and prolactin by trout pituitary glands and cells in culture.
In Teleost fish, development, growth, and reproduction are influenced by the daily and seasonal variations of photoperiod and temperature. Early in vivo studies indicated the pineal gland mediates the effects of these external factors, most probably through the rhythmic production of melatonin. The present investigation was aimed at determining whether melatonin acts directly on the pituitary t...
متن کاملPituitary Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Secretion in Humans
To clarify the physiological role of placental corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), we measured plasma CRH, ACTH, and cortisol throughout pregnancy. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) CRH levels and ACTH responsiveness to synthetic CRH were also quantified in pregnant and nonpregnant women. Maternal plasma CRH levels, which increased progressively during pregnancy, correlated well with both ACTH and c...

9 15 36 Nerve center: I told the neurologist, 'I'm having a stroke. These are my symptoms.' I wasn't all upset about it. Needle and the damage done: In my 25 years of doing substance abuse research here I've never seen anything like this… Age old question: How old is your skeleton? It seems like a simple question. As old as you are, right? Not exactly. In this edition of Vital Signs, we tackle ...
