Nerve cells are also characterized by secretory activity; they all elaborate and release mediators, and in neurosecretory cells the production of physiologically active substances called neurohormones reaches a high level of intensity.

Ghrelin is a stomach hormone, secreted into the bloodstream, that initiates food intake by activating NPY/AgRP neurons in the hypothalamic acruate nucleus. This review focuses on recent evidence that details the mechanisms through which ghrelin activate receptors on NPY neurons and downstream signaling...
The statistics show that NAFLD prevalence reaches 30–40 % of the male against 15–20 % of the female population. For unclear reasons, men are more prone to NAFLD than women. Additionally, the estimates are higher in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), occurring in up to 70 % ...
The pituitary gland is a small endocrine gland located at the base of the skull that produces hormones into the bloodstream to maintain internal body functions. Learn about the function of the anterior pituitary gland, posterior pituitary gland, and the importance...
which reaches a peak concentration many times greater than that of E2. The conversion of E2 to E1 and subsequently to other metabolites takes place during absorption from the intestine and passage through the liver. This extensive metabolism greatly limits the oral effectiveness of the natural estrog...
It helps to modify many physiological features through the release of a reliable stream of hormones in to the bloodstream that affects their focus on tissues with dynamic impact. Hi! It contains proteins and an Asian herb (Japanese Catnip), that your company explains will stimulate your body’s...
(-29 through −7) of 23 amino acids during or within seconds after synthesis, respectively. The conversion of Pre-ProPTH probably occurs during transport of the polypeptide into the cisterna of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. By 20 min after synthesis, ProPTH reaches the Golgi region and is...
Peptides that act locally may also enter the bloodstream to act systemically or they may excite receptors on afferent vagal neurons and initiate systemic responses through vaso–vagal reflexes. Some peptide secretions may diffuse through the interstitium to excite neurons of the enteric nervous system,...
This intricate barrier segregates the seminiferous tubules from the bloodstream, effectively restricting the diffusion of water, ions, electrolytes, paracrine factors, hormones, and other exogenous biomolecules through both the paracellular and transcellular pathways. Consequently, it creates a specialized ...
