Forhead, A. J., J. Li, J. C. Saunders, M. J. Dauncey, R. S. Gilmour, and A. L. Fowden. Control of ovine hepatic growth hormone receptor and insulin-like growth factor I by thyroid hormones in utero. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 278: E1166–E1174, 2000.—By use of RNase protection assays, hepatic growth hormone receptor (GHR) and insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I) mRNA abundances were measured i...

Genetic data indicate that abrogation of Notch-Rbpj or Wnt-β-catenin pathways results in the loss of the intestinal stem cells (ISCs). However, whether the effect of Notch is direct or due to the aberrant differentiation of the transit-amplifying cells into post-mitotic goblet cells is unknown. To address this issue,we havegenerated composite tamoxifen-inducible intestine-specific genetic mouse...

Evans, Jodi F., James K. Yeh, and John F. Aloia. Osteoblast-like cells of the hypophysectomized rat: a model of aberrant osteoblast development. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 278: E832–E838, 2000.—In a previous work, we demonstrated that the osteoprogenitors derived from the marrow stroma of the hypophysectomized (HX) rat demonstrate enhanced proliferative and differentiation capacities when pl...

Haisch, M., N. K. Fukagawa, and D. E. Matthews. Oxidation of glutamine by the splanchnic bed in humans. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 278: E593–E602, 2000.—[1,2C2]glutamine and [ring-H5]phenylalanine were infused for 7 h into five postabsorptive healthy subjects on two occasions. On one occasion, the tracers were infused intravenously for 3.5 h and then by a nasogastric tube for 3.5 h. The orde...

Liver Physiol. 278: G409–G415, 2000.—To determine the role of carbonic anhydrase (CA) in colonic electrolyte transport, we studied Car-20 mice, mutants deficient in cytosolic CA II. Ion fluxes were measured under short-ci...

Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 278: G718–G724, 2000.— Aldosterone-induced sodium absorption is mediated by the epithelial Na1 channel (ENaC). It is thought that the ‘‘early effect’’ is not based on genomic regulation of ...
