Cytochrome P-450 17α-hydroxylase protein and mRNA in the testis of the testicular feminized (Tfm) mouseJournal of Molecular Endocrinology - Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 77-82 - 1993
P. O'Shaughnessy, Lyn I. Murphy
ABSTRACT The testicular feminized (Tfm) mouse lacks functional androgen
receptors and develops with a female external phenotype and internal testes. The
testes of these animals contain normal, or close to normal, numbers of Leydig
cells but secrete very low amounts of androgen due to a lack of 17α-hydroxylase
activity. To determine whether this loss of activity is due to a lack of enzyme
synthesis... hiện toàn bộ
Prolactin induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p59fyn may mediate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation in Nb2 cellsJournal of Molecular Endocrinology - Tập 19 Số 3 - Trang 347-350 - 1997
Kaltoom Al‐Sakkaf, P R Dobson, B. L. Brown
Our previous studies indicated that PI3-kinase is involved in prolactin (PRL)
signalling. We have now examined the involvement of the src tyrosine kinase,
fyn, in PRL-induced the activation of PI3-kinase in the rat lymphoma cell line,
Nb2. Cells were stimulated with increasing doses of PRL, lysed and
immunoprecipitated with anti-fyn specific antibody. Then PI3-kinase activity was
measured as the i... hiện toàn bộ
Differential expression of secreted frizzled-related protein 4 in decidual cells during pregnancyJournal of Molecular Endocrinology - Tập 28 Số 3 - Trang 213-223 - 2002

During pregnancy, the uterus shows marked morphological and physiological
changes under the regulation of ovarian steroid. To elucidate the molecular cues
of these changes, we tried to identify the transcripts differentially expressed
in the pregnant rat uterus by using the suppression subtractive hybridization
method. Seven independent clones were isolated and one of the up-regulated genes
was se... hiện toàn bộ
EXPRESSION OF THE RAT AMYLIN (IAPP / DAP) GENE.Journal of Molecular Endocrinology - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang R1-R4 - 1989
G. Ferrier, A.M. Pierson, Philip Jones, S. R. Bloom, Samia I. Girgis, S. Legon
ABSTRACT We have used the polymerase chain reaction with mixed sequence primers
to generate a probe for rat amylin and have used this to detect expression in
various rat tissues. Amylin mRNA is found in greatest concentrations in the
pancreas where a single mRNA species can be detected giving a hybridisation
signal intensity approximately 10% that of insulin mRNA. When the beta cell
population was... hiện toàn bộ
Role of foxj1 and estrogen receptor alpha in ciliated epithelial cell differentiation of the neonatal oviductJournal of Molecular Endocrinology - Tập 32 Số 3 - Trang 615-625 - 2004

Estrogen regulates proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells in the
mammalian oviduct, but pathways for cell-specific differentiation are not well
understood. In the epithelial cells of the developing rat oviduct, we found
estrogen receptor (ER) alpha is expressed at birth and persists in all cells
through neonatal day (ND) 7 when ciliated cells appear. To determine a specific
function... hiện toàn bộ
Changes in expression of neurohypophysial hormone genes during spawning migration in chum salmon, Oncorhynchus ketaJournal of Molecular Endocrinology - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 49-55 - 1997
Shûichi Hiraoka, Hideya Ando, Masatoshi Ban, Hiroshi Ueda, Akihisa Urano
ABSTRACT We analyzed changes in the hypothalamic levels of vasotocin (VT) and
isotocin (IT) mRNA in chum salmon during spawning migration to the Ishikari
river. The fish were caught at Atsuta, a fisherman's village facing the Ishikari
bay, and at Chitose, an upstream branch of the Ishikari river. The former are
referred to as sea water (SW) fish, and the latter as freshwater (FW) fish. The
levels ... hiện toàn bộ
Cloning and characterization of a human leptin receptor using a biologically active leptin immunoadhesinJournal of Molecular Endocrinology - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 77-85 - 1997

ABSTRACT Leptin, the product of the ob gene, is a hormone secreted by fat cells
which is primarily involved in the regulation of body weight. We have generated
a leptin immunoadhesin (leptin-IgG) which was more potent than leptin alone at
reducing body weight and food intake when injected into ob/ob mice. This
molecule was used to identify high affinity binding sites on human embryonic 293
kidney ... hiện toàn bộ
PKC and ERK mediate GH-stimulated lipolysisJournal of Molecular Endocrinology - Tập 51 Số 2 - Trang 213-224 - 2013
Heather E. Bergan, Jeffrey D. Kittilson, Mark A. Sheridan
GH regulates several physiological processes in vertebrates, including the
promotion of growth, an anabolic process, and the mobilization of stored lipids,
a catabolic process. In this study, we used hepatocytes isolated from rainbow
trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) as a model to examine the mechanism of GH action on
lipolysis. GH stimulated lipolysis as measured by increased glycerol release in
both a... hiện toàn bộ
