Abstract
We investigated the AG structure, and then changes of the AG and IAG-producing cells following eyestalk ablation. The AG of P. pelagicus is a small endrocrine organ ensheathed in a connective tissue and attached to the distal part of spermatic duct and ejaculatory bulb. The gland is composed of seve...

Abstract
We present a revision of our previously published model of circadian effects in cancer (Sephton and Spiegel, 2003) based on evaluation of new data from divergent lines of investigation. Human clinical studies show circadian endocrine disruption may be accompanied by suppressed functional cellular im...

Abstract
The ultrastructure of the reproductive gland, dorsal body (DB), of Megalobulimus abbreviatus was analysed. Electron microscope immunohistochemistry was used to detect FMRFamide-like peptides in the nerve endings within this gland. Nerve backfilling was used in an attempt to identify the neurons invo...

Abstract
The survey response rate was 69% (46/67); 85% were practicing endocrine surgeons and 15% were fellows. In all, 72% of respondents completed an endocrine surgery fellowship, 17% completed surgical oncology, and the remaining individuals completed no fellowship. The mean age was 38 (32-49) years; 39%...

Motherhood is a physiological status in which certain behavioural patterns are exhibited. Maintenance of the life of the species in mammals is dependent upon the presentation of motherhood services in a certain period that the child is dependent on the mother. Absence of the mother causes some defic...

Abstract
We conclude that the major components of the sex pheromone of H. arenicola are Z7-14:OAc and Z5-14:OAc. Currently, a triangle trap baited with the synthetic compounds Z7-14:OAc, Z5-14:OAc, and Z7-14:OH in a 1:0.4:0.25 ratio at 825 microg/trap dosage can be effectively used to monitor the H. arenicol...

Abstract
The role of adipose tissue as an important endocrine organ is today beyond doubt. The adipose tissue is known to be a source of many biologically active substances, adipocitokines, one of them being the adiponectine possessing anti-inflammatory, antiatherogenic and cardioprotective properties; it is...

We have cloned cDNAs of two rat membrane melatonin receptor subtypes, melatonin receptor 1a (MT1) and melatonin receptor 1b (MT2), using a rapid amplification of cDNA end (RACE) method. The rat MT1 and MT2 cDNAs encode proteins of 353 and 364 amino acids, respectively, and show 78-93% identities wit...

Abstract
The hexadecapeptide cerebellin (CER) is derived from a larger protein, cerebellin 1 precursor protein (Cbln1). At present four precerebellins (Cbln1-4) are known. They are highly expressed in the brain, in particular in the cerebellum. Since CER is involved in regulating endocrine functions, present...

Nitrite is an intrinsic signaling molecule. Its ability to form nitric oxide (NO) under hypoxic conditions as well as its ability to form S-nitrosothiols under normoxic conditions has transformed this once inert anion into a critical molecule in maintaining NO and nitroso homeostasis throughout the...

Endocrine glands communicate with remote target cells via a mixture of continuous and intermittent signal exchange. Continuous signaling allows slowly varying control, whereas intermittency permits large rapid adjustments. The control systems that mediate such homeostatic corrections operate in a sp...

We show AQP1 is in dense-core secretory granule (DCSG) membranes of endocrine tissue: pituitary and adrenal medulla. The need for AQP1 in endocrine cell function was examined by stable transfection of AQP1 antisense RNA into AtT20 cells, a pituitary cell line, to down-regulate AQP1 expression. These...
