Which of the following hormones exerts its effect primarily on the reproductive organs? A. follicle-stimulating hormone B. adrenocorticotropic hormone C. epinephrine D. thyrotropin E. antidiuretic hormone What are the functions of each of the following hormones, s...
More recently, oxytocin has been shown to stimulate social behaviors, and exert pain-relieving, anti-stress/anti-inflammatory and restorative effects. We hypothesize that oxytocin is a principal hormone that, in part, exerts its effects after degradation to active fragments with more specific effect ...
Which of the following hormones exerts its primary effects on the reproductive organs? Select one: a. follicle-stimulating hormone b. adrenocorticotropic hormone c. thyroid-stimulating hormone d. growth hormone What type of hormones are secreted by...
Evidence that growth hormone exerts a negatives feedback action on stomach ghrelin homeostasisAlthough it is known that GH plays an important role in normal growth and development, its influence on the control of gonadotropin secretion is poorly understood. To address this issue, we have treated ...
Interactive effects of growth hormone and oestrogen on vascular responses in hypophysectomised female rats Growth hormone (GH) and oestrogen (E(2)) are associated with beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system and it is therefore of great interest to study... G Helena,T Anna Wickman,B ...
Leptin is a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, and its serum levels are positively correlated with the size of animal fat tissue. Leptin binds to its receptor and induces cellular responses through the JAK-STAT, PI3K, AMPK and MAPK signaling pathways173. Studies have found that leptin has a ...

inflammation, and monocyte attraction via blunting myeloperoxidase-induced ROS generation. PON-2, which is expressed in the ER and mitochondrial membranes, exerts its effects on the vascular cells [90,91]. PON-3, which is located in the serum and cells [92], prevents atherogenesis [93,94]. ...
In the search for a mechanism of action that could explain the beneficial effects exerts by the combination of the BAR502 and UDCA we have carried out a detailed analysis of the composition of bile acid pool. Conversion of cholesterol in to bile acids is a major mechanisms of cholesterol disp...
Melatonin, more commonly known as the sleep hormone, is mainly secreted by the pineal gland in dark conditions and regulates the circadian rhythm of the organism. Its intrinsic properties, including high cell permeability, the ability to easily cross bot
