In mammals, vasopressin is involved in osmotic and cardiovascular regulation, and oxytocin stimulates uterine contraction and milk ejection. However, there is no known role for oxytocin in males. Further, physiological roles of many other neurohypophysial hormones in lower vertebrates are not clear ...
Activation of these receptors stimulates intracellular responses that influence cellular physiology and, at times, gene expression. The specificity of hormone action is thus determined by the affinity of hormones for different receptors, receptor distribution, and effector and genetic responses to ligand ...
(CRH) stimulating the secretion ofcorticotropin, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH; gonadorelin) which stimulates the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) andluteinizing hormone(LH). On the other hand,somatostatininhibits the secretion of GH. Some of these hormones and their analogs ...

(3 su: 3 su: <3 su>), and of the aligned multialpha helix peptides, interferon gamma (INF-g) being a homodimer with the potential for receptor trimerization, functions as a more effective pressuromodulator, that which stimulates increased protein transcription of the higher molecular weight ...
Choose the correct answer: Gastrulation is a. digestion of food b. folding in of the ectoderm c. expulsion of placental contents d. shedding of the uterine endothelium What is the function of the hormone secreted by the pineal gland? (a) It stimulates the t...
Which hormone stimulates osteoclast activity? (a) Calcitonin. (b) 1, 25 DHC. (c) Growth hormone. (d) Parathyroid hormone/PTH. Which statement correctly describes the secretory phase of the uterine (menstrual) cycle? a) Follicle stimulating ho...
LH/CG stimulates the expression of steroidogenic enzymes in CL of ruminants and primates [215, 302, 303]. However, it is believed the primary mechanism by which these hormones regulate steroidogenesis is via stimulation of cholesterol transport. The process of luteinization is associated with a dra...
In preterm pregnancy when the uterus has to be kept quiescent, CRH receptors are coupled to various cell signaling systems including the cyclic AMP system that inhibits myosin light chain phosphorylation in smooth muscle thereby dampening uterine contraction. As the time for labour approaches, CRH ...
