we describe the role of a hormone, peripheral serotonin, in tear secretion. We found that blood serotonin concentration, changed by feeding a diet deprived of the serotonin precursor tryptophan, correlated with tear secretion, and that a sustained decrease in serotonin resulted in LG atrophy and au...
Citation64 Moreover, a recent study on hormone signaling in meibomian glands found that estrogen can counteract the effect of androgen in a “yin-yang” relationship.Citation65 This is in line with previous findings of dose-dependent anti-androgenic actions of estrogens on sebaceous glands.Citation...
While reproductive risk factors are typically associated with modifying the chance of developing hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer, growing literature demonstrates that higher parity coupled with lack of breastfeeding increases the risk of TNBC [1, 43, 44]. Despite the strong epidemiological...
the brain and the thyroid gland was assessed through histopathological examination. Thyroid functions examination was performed through measuring the serum levels of T3, thyroxine T4, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Moreover,

Microglia-like macrophages (ml-MACs) are enriched in the posterior pituitary, while other pitMØs in the anterior pituitary exhibit close interactions with hormone-secreting cells. Importantly, all pitMØs originate from early yolk sac progenitors and maintain themselves through self-renewal, ...
Bound hormone was separated by dextran-coated charcoal. Radioactivity was mea- sured by liquid scintillation counter (Packard Tri-Carb 2900 TR, Packard Instruments, Meriden, CT, USA). Western blot analysis Aorta samples were homogenized in 0.3 M sucrose, 20 mM Tris (pH 7) supplemented with a...
[20]. In some experiments, the hormone pellets were surgically excised 5 weeks post surgery and the mice mated. To recover renal gels, recipient mice were killed and the retrieved gels were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 1 hour before being processed into paraffin. On occasion, gels were ...
