Aim of the research is to show developing legitimacy APUD-system lungs in pre and post ontogenesis. Condition neuroendocrine apparatus on rabbits was studied during fetal embryogenesis inner development after 1-180 days birth. Duration chosen according their changing afterbirth features as physiological function organism; selected periods newborn stage, enlightenment, complication locomotion, p...

crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (ibd), characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation that causes the loss of immune tolerance leading to bizarre inflammatory signals and disruption of mucosal barriers. environmental triggers and interaction of genetic determinants also play an indispensible role. in this case report, we present a pre-pubertal girl with intermittent and refra...

The term anorexia nervosa is used to describe a condition of food refusal in pursuit of thinness, often accompanied by self-induced vomiting and purgative abuse. Patients are typically very active and have a disturbed body image. Usually it is seen in pre -pubertal or pubertal girls. However, Bruch I describes atypical anorexia nervosa, which can occur in either sex, usually later in puberty. T...

The response of pulmonary artery pressure to high altitude has not been studied in children. It is also not known whether the individual response is hereditary. Therefore, the response of pulmonary artery pressure to high altitude was measured in pre-pubertal children in comparison to that in their biological fathers. Echocardiography was performed at 450 m and over 3 days at 3,450 m. Systolic ...

Epitestosterone, a C19-steroid with anti-androgenic activity, was determined in the plasma of 234 boys and men from the ages of 6-86 years, and in the prostate tissue of 15 men 55-82 years of age. It was documented that, while in adulthood the concentration of epitestosterone is about ten times lower than the concentration of testosterone, in the pre-pubertal period the level of epitestosterone...

Onset and development of puberty is regulated by the neuroendocrine system. Population-based studies worldwide have observed secular trends towards earlier puberty development. These changes are apparently caused by environmental factors such as improved socio-economic status, improved health care and nutrition. However, they may also partly result from endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the env...

Pendrin (PDS) and sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) are transmembrane proteins that are located in numerous tissue types, particularly thyroid follicular epithelial cells, where they are entrusted with the regulation of iodine molecules. In the present study, we aimed to clarify changes in PDS and NIS protein expression, in the testicular tissue of prepubertal and <span la...

Prepubertal F1 heifers (n = 246; from crossbred dams bred to either Hereford [H], Limousin [L], or Piedmontese [P] sires) were fed 1.9% (LF) or 4.4% (HF) dietary fat from 254+/-4 d of age until they reached puberty or the breeding season started. Safflower seeds (37% oil with 79% linoleic acid) were the added fat source. Blood samples and backfat thickness measurements were obtained from 60 ran...
