Molecular Characterization of Hypothalamo– Pituitary-Thyroid Genes in Pig (Sus Scrofa)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hypothalamus, extensively connected with other brain regions, is the vital bridge between nervous system and endocrine system. It exerts its regulating function on endocrine system mainly via the pituitary, which is the central endocrine organ in vertebrate animals. Except the growth hormone, most of the hormones secreted by pituitary have their specific target organs. For example, thyrotropin target thyroid. The hypothalamus, pituitary and target organs are always described together as “axis”, e.g. hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis, hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal gland axis, and hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis.

Immunocytological study of the chronology of pituitary cytogenesis in the domestic pig (Sus scrofa) with special reference to the functioning of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis.
This paper reports an immunofluorescent study of the pituitary in the fetal pig (Sus scrofa). Fifteen antisera were used against most of the hormones present in the pituitary. Five types of hypophysial endocrine cells were observed in the anterior and intermediate lobes. We determined the sequential appearance of these various cell types in the fetus. The first hormones found at 33 days were AC...
متن کاملChromosome restriction enzyme digestion in domestic pig (Sus scrofa) constitutive heterochromatin arrangement.
The bimodal karyotype of pig appears to contain two types of constitutive heterochromatin, reflecting different satellite DNA families: GC-rich heterochromatin located mainly in the centromeric regions of the biarmed chromosomes, and less-GC-rich heterochromatin in the centromeric regions of the one-armed chromosomes. In order to better discriminate this constitutive heterochromatin, we treated...
متن کاملThe origin of the domestic pig: independent domestication and subsequent introgression.
The domestic pig originates from the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa). We have sequenced mitochondrial DNA and nuclear genes from wild and domestic pigs from Asia and Europe. Clear evidence was obtained for domestication to have occurred independently from wild boar subspecies in Europe and Asia. The time since divergence of the ancestral forms was estimated at approximately 500,000 years, well ...
متن کاملDevelopment of molecular tools to differentiate Indian wild pig (Sus scrofa cristatus) meat from exotic and local domestic pig meat
Aim: Identification of wild pig and domestic pig is essential to prevent illegal poaching of wild pig and to implement Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. PCR-RFLP was used to differentiate Wild pig (Sus scrofa cristatus) from Domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica) meat. Materials and Methods: DNA was isolated from meat samples of both the sub species and a fragment of Cytochrome b gene was amplified...
متن کاملAnalysis of Muscle and Ovary Transcriptome of Sus scrofa: Assembly, Annotation and Marker Discovery
Pig (Sus scrofa) is an important organism for both agricultural and medical purpose. This study aims to investigate the S. scrofa transcriptome by the use of Roche 454 pyrosequencing. We obtained a total of 558 743 and 528 260 reads for the back-leg muscle and ovary tissue each. The overall 1 087 003 reads give rise to 421 767 341 bp total residues averaging 388 bp per read. The de novo assembl...
