Leptin and sex hormones in psoriasis and correlation with disease severity
Background: Leptin, a 16-KDa peptide hormone secreted from theadipose tissue, plays an important role in the regulation of energyintake and expenditure and body weight regulation; furthermore,it has a regulatory function on the reproductive system. The aimof this study was to assess the relationship between serum leptinlevels and sex hormones in psoriatic patients and control groupand to determ...
متن کاملThe cAMP analogue, dbcAMP, affects rabbit ovarian cell proliferation, apoptosis, release of steroids and response to hormones.
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-related intracellular mechanisms can be important in the control of reproductive processes. The aim of the present study was to examine possible hormonal and intracellular mechanisms mediating the action of cAMP on ovarian cell functions, in particular the mechanisms of stimulatory action of dbcAMP on rabx and caspase 3), plasma level of progesterone and es...
متن کاملInteraction of substance P and its N- and C-terminal fragments with Ca2+: implications for hormone action.
In an attempt to understand the role of Ca2+ on the bioactive conformation of peptide hormones, we have examined the interaction between Ca2+ and the neuropeptide substance P. Using CD spectroscopy to monitor conformational changes caused by Ca2+ binding, we found no significant binding of the cation by substance P in water. However, a substantial conformational change occurred in the hormone o...
متن کاملProlactin and growth hormone in fish osmoregulation.
Prolactin is an important regulator of multiple biological functions in vertebrates, and has been viewed as essential to ion uptake as well as reduction in ion and water permeability of osmoregulatory surfaces in freshwater and euryhaline fish. Prolactin-releasing peptide seems to stimulate prolactin expression in the pituitary and peripheral organs during freshwater adaptation. Growth hormone,...
متن کاملA rapid method for checking the purity of radioiodinated human luteinizing hormone.
SINCE XALOW AND BERSON reported their sensitive radioimmunoassay for insulin in human plasma (i), this method has been applied to many other peptide hormones (2, .3). Murphy, in a discussion of competitive protein-binding assay (4), identified three major requirements for its applications: (1) a specific, binding protein for the substance to be determined, (2) a labeled form of this substance, ...
