The birth and postnatal development of purinergic signalling.

چکیده
The purinergic signalling system is one of the most ancient and arguably the most widespread intercellular signalling system in living tissues. In this review we present a detailed account of the early developments and current status of purinergic signalling. We summarize the current knowledge on purinoceptors, their distribution and role in signal transduction in various tissues in physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Evaluation of the morphological features of the uterine tubes during postnatal development in West African Dwarf goats (Capra hircus)
The objective of this study was to highlight the postnatal development of the uterine tubes of the West African Dwarf goat from birth to 28 weeks of age by gross examination and light microscopy. There was a caudal migration of the paired uterine tubes from behind the paired kidneys at birth to the pelvic inlet at week 8 of age. Each uterine tube exhibited three segments namely; infundibulum, a...
متن کاملAlteration in postnatal development of masseter innervation in hypothyroid rats
The thyroid hormones have profound effects on the development of neuromuscular system. These hormones exert their influence on both muscle fibers and related motoneurons during development. Masseter is one of the most important muscles for mastication in mammals. Thyroid hormone deficiency 3 weeks after birth, the period in which an alteration from sucking to biting occurs, could influence the ...

متن کاملP-251: Effects of Indomethacin on Postnatal Development of Mouse Testes
Objective: Indomethacin is a non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor that is commonly administered to extremely low gestational age neonates for symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus. It suppresses prostaglandins which modulate growth and secretion of various hormones. We examined the hypothesis that early postnatal administration of Indomethacin may influence growth and development of test...
