Epilepsy is a recurring neurological disease caused by the abnormal electrical activity in the brain. This disease has caused about 50 new cases in 100,000 populations every year with the clinical manifestations of awareness loss, bruising, and mobility
You have identified a membrane localized receptor that is the target for a peptide hormone that acts at the cell surface. What are 4 possible receptor types that could be facilitating the actions of this peptide hormone? What is a temporary modification to protein structure by kinase that alters...
Similarly, cortisol, a steroid hormone, has been shown to correlate with both physical and mental stresses, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)34, Cushing syndrome, and Addison’s disease35,36. Wearable and flexible biosensors highlighted in the literature for stress monitoring typically ...
Leydig cells are the major site for the synthesis of the predominant male steroid hormone, testosterone. Cholesterol is the obligatory intermediate in the synthesis of testosterone and is supplied to the Leydig cell either by receptor-mediated endocytosis of lipoprotein or by de novo synthesis from ...

Chronic exposure to low levels of diethylstilbestrol or pentachlorophenol alters steroid hormone metabolism of the water flea Daphnia magna and reduces their fecundity in the second generation (Parks and LeBlanc, 1996). Exposure to very low levels of certain organophosphate pesticides (e.g. elsan, ...
Programming of important regulatory brain regions, including the neuroen- docrine hypothalamus, via such steroid hormone effects on cell migration patterns during early development likely also contributes to sex differences in how the individual responds to environmental perturbations throughout life (Bale ...
By this mechanism, LDL particles can deliver cholesterol to extrahepatic tissues for use in membrane or steroid hormone synthesis. LDL receptor expression by the liver is a major regulator of plasma LDL-C levels. LDL particles have a half-life of 3 to 4 days. The liver and small intestine ...
The human microbiome is a complex and dynamic system that plays important roles in human health and disease. However, there remain limitations and theoretical gaps in our current understanding of the intricate relationship between microbes and humans. In
