Pituitary glycoprotein hormone a-subunit secretion by cirrhotic patients.
Secretion of the alpha-subunit of pituitary glycoprotein hormones usually follows the secretion of intact gonadotropins and is increased in gonadal failure and decreased in isolated gonadotropin deficiency. The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of the alpha-subunit in the serum of patients with cirrhosis of the liver and to compare the results obtained for eugonadal cirrhotic...
متن کاملCytokine-dependent gp130 receptor subunit regulates human fetal pituitary adrenocorticotropin hormone and growth hormone secretion.
We have shown recently that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and oncostatin M (OSM), two members of the gp130-dependent cytokine family, stimulate murine proopiomelanocortin (POMC) transcription and adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) secretion. LIF and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) also synergistically induced in vivo ACTH secretion in fetal nonhuman primates. To elucidate the role of t...
متن کاملInsulin suppresses growth hormone secretion by rat pituitary cells.
The effects of insulin on basal and hydrocortisone-induced growth hormone (GH) secretion were studied in rat pituitary tumor cells (GH3). Cells were grown in monolayer culture and exposed to exogenously added insulin for up to 8 d. Basal GH secretion was inhibited by insulin (0.7 nM) after a 48-h lag period by approximately 50% (P less than 0.01, vs. untreated control cells). The suppression of...
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 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...
