Up-regulation of PPAR-γ mRNA expression in the liver of obese patients: An additional reinforcing lipogenic mechanism to SREBP-1c induction
(2011)
Introduction: Triglyceride accumulation in the liver is an early feature in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with human obesity, which is a multifactorial syndrome and whose underlying ...
Adrenal function during childhood and puberty in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Endocrine Society, 2009)
Context: In some patients, PCOS may develop as a consequence of an exaggerated adrenarche during pubertal development. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess adrenal function during childhood and pubertal development ...
Respective roles of nitric oxide and superoxide radical in the respiratory burst activity of rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes induced by hyperthyroidism
(Maney Publishing, 1996)
Administration of single doses of 0.1 mg of L-3,3′,5-triiodothyronine (T3)/kg for 3 consecutive days to fed rats elicited a marked increase both in the opsonized zymosan-induced luminol-amplified integrated chemiluminescence ...
Interrelationships among serum thyroxine, triiodothyronine, reverse triiodothyronine, and thyroid-stimulating hormone in iodine-deficient pregnant women and their offspring: Effects of iodine supplementation
(1981)
Adaptation to iodine deficiency (ID) requires changes in thyroid and pituitary function that have been well characterized in animals. The present studies were undertaken to analyze the relationships between serum thyroid ...
Fasting and post-glucose ghrelin levels in SGA infants: Relationships with size and weight gain at one year of age
(2002)
Wide ranges in postnatal weight gain are seen in infants born small for gestational age (SGA); most show some catch-up growth and this may be driven by increased appetite. Ghrelin, the natural ligand of the GH secretagogue ...
Human lactational response to oral thyrotropin releasing hormone
(1976)
Several studies were designed to evaluate the effect of oral TRH on prolactin (PRL) secretion and mammary function in nursing women. Initially, efficacy was studied in nursing women following 5 mg TRH. PRL levels rose to ...
Growth hormone (GH) responses to GH-releasing peptide and to GH-releasing hormone in GH-deficient children
(1995)
The GH-releasing peptides (GHRPs) are a family of hexa- and heptapeptides that specifically stimulate GH secretion in normal adults and children. They would be an attractive potential form of therapy for GH deficiency (GHD) ...
A human placental hormone (UTPH) with uterine growth and DNA promoting effects
(1975)
A human placental protein previously described is studied in order to expand its biological characterization. Dose response curve of its action on uterine growth of prepuberal mice showed to be a significant logarithmic ...
Features of natural and gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist-induced corpus luteum regression and effects of in vivo human chorionic gonadotropin
(Endocrine Society, 2007)
Context: The natural process of luteolysis and luteal regression is induced by withdrawal of gonadotropin support. Objective: The objectives of this study were: 1) to compare the functional changes and apoptotic features ...
