Some of these glands have both endocrine and non-endocrine functions. For example, the pancreas contains cells that function in digestion as well as cells that secrete the hormones insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood glucose levels. The hypothalamus, thymus, heart, kidneys, stomach, small ...
Hormones regulate internal functions from metabolism and growth to sexual development and the induction of birth.
Notably, nearly 50% of HS patients are classified as obese [48]. This association is thought to arise because adipose tissue functions as a hormonally active organ, releasing inflammatory mediators such as adipokines (e.g., chemerin, leptin, visfatin, omentin-1, and adiponectin), cytokines (e....
Primary Functions: Regulate electrolyte levels, influence metabolism, and respond to stress. Gonads Related Combining Forms: gonad/o Primary Functions: Gamete (sex cell) producing glands. Male: Testicles Related Combining Forms: testic/o Primary Functions: Sperm producing glands. Female: Ovaries Related...
Endocrine System: Overview Endocrine system – the body’s second controlling system which influences metabolic activities of cells by means of hormones secreted from glands Major organs are the Endocrine glands – pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal, thymus, pancreas and gonads Continued ...
Design: Immunohistochemical evaluation for TROP-2 (sc-376181, Santa Cruz) was performed on 136 thyroid neoplasms on tissue microarray (TMA) sections, 61 atypical follicular lesions (AFL), and 32 normal/benign thyroid lesions (12 normal thyroid glands and 10 cases of each of lymphocytic ...
As studied in several species including humans, rats, pigs, mice and ruminants, the post-natal development of the gastrointestinal tract and associated glands is triggered after birth by the switch to milk feeding and later by weaning (Pierzynowski et al. 1993; Abrahamse et al. 2012; Pluske...
Several investigators reported histological abnormalities of the pituitary gland (9,11,13,18,19), thyroid (9), and adrenal glands of AT patients (9,10). These findings might be of no clinical consequence, since thyroid function tests, cortisol, and prolactin levels were normal in all assessed...
