The renin–angiotensin system is present in adipose tissue and mediates inflammation in response to nutritional interventions; activation of this axis triggers profound signalling events in the kidney Abstract Excess adiposity can induce adverse sequelae in multiple cell types and organ systems. The trans...
TRH is found in the highest concentrations in the PVH and median eminence of the hypothalamus. However, it is also present in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, pancreatic islets, pituitary gland, and reproductive tracts – TRH function at these sites is unknown. Lastly, either ...
Bone mainly functions as a supportive framework for the whole body and is the major regulator of calcium homeostasis and hematopoietic function. Recently, an increasing number of studies have characterized the significance of bone as an endocrine organ, suggesting that bone-derived factors regulate loca...
Over the last 50 years, a large number of cardiovascular studies have identified in vertebrates the ability of cardiac nonneuronal cells to synthesize and release catecholamines (CAs) and the natriuretic peptides (NPs). Thanks to compartmentalized cardia
3. Structure and function The H3 receptor has a total of 445 amino acids. The structure of histamine H3 receptor is comparable with those of histamine H1 and H2 receptors. However, it is worth noting that this similarity is only about 20%, which is relatively low, compared to the similarit...
