Novel mechanisms of growth hormone regulation: growth hormone-releasing peptides and ghrelin
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2006-08-01)
Growth hormone secretion is classically modulated by two hypothalamic hormones, growth hormone-releasing hormone and somatostatin. A third pathway was proposed in the last decade, which involves the growth hormone ...
Developmental and Functional Effects of Steroid Hormones on the Neuroendocrine Axis and Spinal Cord
(Wiley, 2016)
This review highlights the principal effects of steroid hormones at central and peripheral levels in the neuroendocrine axis. The data discussed highlight the principal role of oestrogens and testosterone in hormonal ...
Gonadotropins and Growth Hormone Family Characterization in an Endangered Siluriform Species, Steindachneridion parahybae (Pimelodidae): Relationship With Annual Reproductive Cycle and Induced Spawning in Captivity
(Wiley, 2015-09)
The aim of this study was to identify and characterize pituitary cells of Steindachneridion parahybae females in captivity, highlighting the possible relationship with reproductive disorders at this level, since this species ...
Hormonal Carcinogenesis in Canine Mammary Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms of Estradiol Involved in Malignant Progression
(MDPI, 2021)
Canine mammary cancer corresponds to a tumor disease that frequently affects female dogs, especially those that are reproductively intact. This disease can decrease the survival and quality of life of affected animals; ...
Cancer stem cell and mesenchymal cell cooperative actions in metastasis progression and hormone resistance in prostate cancer: Potential role of androgen and gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors (Review)
(Spandidos, 2020)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the leading cause of male cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Mortality is associated with metastasis and hormone resistance. Cellular, genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying metastatic ...
Participation of plant hormones in determination and progression of somatic embryogenesis
(2005-11)
In vitro culture protocols have been developed for many species, mainly using empirical approaches, to induce somatic embryogenesis from various explant types. However, the underlying biochemical mechanisms governing ...
Neuropeptide and steroid hormone mediators of neuroendocrine regulation
(2018-01-01)
To maintain the health and well-being of all mammals, numerous aspects of physiology are controlled by neuroendocrine mechanisms. These mechanisms ultimately enable communication between neurones and glands throughout the ...
The effects of hormonal contraceptives on glycemic regulation
(Maney Publishing, 2014)
© Catholic Medical Association 2014.A number of side effects have been linked to the use of hormonal contraceptives, among others, alterations in glucose levels. Hence, the objective of this mini-review is to show the main ...
