Same Phenotype in Children with Growth Hormone Deficiency and Resistance
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2018-04)
By definition, about 2.5% of children show a short stature due to several causes. Two clinical conditions are characterized by serum IGF-I low levels, idiopathic GH deficiency (IGHD), and GH insensitivity (GHI), and the ...
Gastrointestinal hormones controlling energy homeostasis and their potential role in obesity
(Springer, 2018)
Gastrointestinal (GI) hormones are a family of peptides secreted by endocrine cells located in the GI tract. Currently, GI hormones group more than 50 hormone genes that give rise to a multitude of bioactive peptides. All ...
Genotyping of resistance to thyroid hormone in South American population. Identification of seven novel missense mutations in the human thyroid hormone receptor β gene
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-06)
Thyroid Hormone Receptor β (THRB) defects, typically transmitted as autosomal dominant traits, cause Resistance to Thyroid Hormone (RTH). We analyzed the THRB gene in thirteen South American patients with clinical evidence ...
Orcokinins regulate the expression of neuropeptide precursor genes related to ecdysis in the hemimetabolous insect Rhodnius prolixus
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-07)
Ecdysis is a vital process for insects, during which they shed the old cuticle in order to emerge as the following developmental stage. Given its relevance for survival and reproduction, ecdysis is tightly regulated by ...
Pituitary–thyroid axis development during the larval–juvenile transition in the pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-09)
The morphological development of the thyroid gland of pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis during larval–juvenile transition was studied and related to whole-body concentrations of thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3). A ...
Degradation of alfa-melanocyte-stimulating hormone photosensitized by pterin
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-04)
Oxidized pterins, efficient photosensitizers under UV-A irradiation, accumulate in the skin of patients suffering from vitiligo, a chronic depigmentation disorder. In this work, we have investigated the ability of pterin ...

Inoculated mammary carcinoma-associated fibroblasts: contribution to hormone independent tumor growth
(BioMed Central, 2010)
Increasing evidence has underscored the role of carcinoma associated fibroblasts (CAF) in tumor growth. However, there are controversial data regarding the persistence of inoculated CAF within the tumors. We have developed ...
Thyroid hormone modulation of immunity: Its participation in chronic stress-induced immune alterations
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2009-10)
The interaction between the immune and the neuroendocrine systems involves, in a bidirectional circuit, shared cellular receptors and their coupled signaling pathways. Disruptions of this circuit lead to pathological ...
