Evidence has been accumulated indicating that the Harderian gland in vertebrates is a target organ for hormone action. The effects of steroid hormones, thyroid hormones, growth hormone, and prolactin upon cellular growth, secretion, differentiation, and metabolic activities of the gland have been well...
behavioral principles and phenotyping of mice, endocrine disruption, and thyroid hormone, the neuroprotective role of the immune system, adult neurogenesis, network analysis using microarray data, oxidative stress, biological processes of cell death, neurotoxins, susceptible populations, in vivo brain imagin...
A. thyroid-stimulating hormone B. adrenocorticotropic hormone C. growth hormone D. antidiuretic hormone E. prolactin-releasing hormoneWhich of the following hormones would target the kidneys? A. TSH B. HSHWhat endocrine organ is bilobed and located in the t...
What is the target organ of somatostatin? Somatostatin affects several areas of the body. In thehypothalamus, it regulates the secretion of hormones coming from the pituitary gland, including growth hormone and thyroid stimulating hormone. In the pancreas, somatostatin inhibits the secretion of pancreat...
Organ-specific metastasis is the primary cause of cancer patient death. The distant metastasis of tumor cells to specific organs depends on both the intrinsic characteristics of the tumor cells and extrinsic factors in their microenvironment. During an i
a. What is the organ of origin of the Thyroid-stimulating Hormone? b. What is the stimulus for the secretion of this hormone? c. What is its target tissue? What is the target cell or organ of the Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)? What is the hormone that targets the nurse cel...
Pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG), also known as securin is an important gene involved in many biological functions including inhibition of sister chromatid separation, DNA repair, organ development, and expression and secretion of angiogenic and metastatic factors. Proliferating cancer cells and ...
, any tissue which responds to a particular hormone or hormones within an organism (cf. target organ above). See also target language.1936Proc. R. Soc. B. CXX. 57 To prove that the target is a biological reality..the obvious experiment..is to use several different intensities of alpha ...
The testis is described as an immune privileged organ because the auto-immunogenic germ cells that reside within the seminiferous tubules are segregated within the adluminal compartment that limits their interaction with the immune system. Although it was previously thought that the Sertoli-Sertoli cell...
