Vasopressin hormone increases permeability of DCT and collecting tubules. This increases reabsorption of water and makes the urine hypertonic.
Hypopituitarism is the deficiency in varying degrees of one or multiple pituitary hormones. In this chapter, deficiency of growth hormone (GH) will be discussed, while other hormonal deficiencies are presented elsewhere in this book. To understand GH deficiency (GHD), the mechanisms of GH production...
General Tom Thumb and his wife, Lavinia Warren, exploited their short stature as part of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. The couple may have had growth hormone deficiency, although such a diagnosis was not

Accordingly, gene expression of Emr1 (epithelial growth factor-like module containing, mucin-like, hormone-receptor-like 1) encoding F4/80, and Ccr2 and Ccr5 (CC chemokine receptors on macrophages) was significantly less in the epididymal WAT of LMP7−/− mice (Fig. 6E). The decreased...
Vitamin D has to be one of science’s most misunderstood vitamins. For a start, it is not actually a vitamin, but a prohormone, which means that it is converted into a hormone by our body. It is also not just one substance, but five different substances, of which two have been identi...
A pituitary POU domain protein, Pit-1, activates both growth hormone and prolactin promoters transcriptionally. Genes Dev 1989; 3: 946–958. CrossRef Fox SR, Jong MTC, Casanova K. et al. Pit-1/GHF-1, is capable of binding to and activating cell-specific elements of both the growth ...
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a polypeptide hormone produced mainly by the liver in response to the endocrine GH stimulus, but it is also secreted by multiple tissues for autocrine/paracrine purposes. IGF-I is partly responsible for systemic GH activities although it possesses a wide...
