Macrophages in Endocrine Glands, with Emphasis on Pancreatic Islets.
نویسنده
چکیده
We review here the macrophages found in endocrine tissues, placing emphasis on those residing in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. The islets represent the endocrine organ where macrophages have been examined in great detail and where our own studies and experience have been directed.

متن کاملComparison of inducible nitric oxide synthase activity in pancreatic islets of young and aged rats
Objective(s):Some pathologic situations such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome are associated with alternation in nitric oxide level. Incidence of these condition increases with aging. On the other hand, insulin secretion is modulated by nitric oxide, and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity is also altered in diabetes. In this study, modification in the enzyme activity associated with aging a...

متن کاملPrecerebellin-related genes and precerebellin 1 peptide in endocrine glands of the rat - pattern of their expression.
The hexadecapeptide cerebellin (CER) is derived from a larger protein, cerebellin 1 precursor protein (Cbln1). At present four precerebellins (Cbln1-4) are known. They are highly expressed in the brain, in particular in the cerebellum. Since CER is involved in regulating endocrine functions, present studies aimed to investigate, by means of molecular biology techniques (RT-PCR, QPCR, Western bl...
متن کاملThe Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland
hypothalamic-hypophyseal complex, the gonads, pancreatic islet cells, adrenal glands, thyroid glands, parathyroid glands, ultimobranchial glands and the endocrine cells of the gut. All these organs release hormones into the bloodstream, which act on target tissues by interacting with receptors on the surface of the cell (peptide hormones) or within the cytoplasm or nucleus of the cell (steroid ...
