growth hormoneintraocular pressureBackground: GH exerts its effects on many organs and the eye also seems to be a target site, although few authors have investigated the corneal thickness in patients with acromegaly. Aim: To perform a detailed ophthalmological evaluation in acromegalic patients, in ...

Variation Among Species in the Endocrine Control of Mammary Growth and Function: The Roles of Prolactin, Growth Hormone, and Placental Lactogen Prolactin, growth hormone, and placental lactogen form a family of structurally related hormones, which may have evolved from a common ancestral peptide. P....
b.Any of various organs, such as lymph nodes, that resemble true glands but perform a nonsecretory function. 2.BotanyAn organ or a structure that secretes a substance. [Frenchglande, from Old Frenchglandre, alteration of Latinglandula, diminutive ofglāns, gland-,acorn.] ...
Once the insect dies and many of the nutrients are exhausted, fungi start micellar growth and invade all the organs of the host. Finally, hyphae penetrate the cuticle from the interior of the insect and emerge at the surface, where they initiate spore formation under appropriate environmental ...
The impact of (18)FDG-PET on target and critical organs in CT-based treatment planning of patients with poorly defined non-small-cel... Mechanisms of estrogen receptor signaling: convergence of genomic and nongenomic actions on target genes. ...
Although first discovered for its roles in B and T cell development, immunity, and cancer (Basso and Dalla-Favera, 2012), BCL6 is broadly expressed in metabolic organs. In liver and adipocytes, BCL6 is not only a gene target of growth hormone signaling, but BCL6 protein can physically co...
Tumor metastasis to distant organs is caused by tumor cells with primary heterogeneous tumor diffusion, and the sequential growth and survival of tumor metastasis depend on different metabolic changes [131]. Malignant tumors proliferate indefinitely and have a tendency for distant metastasis. They require...
Studies in vivo and in vitro have focussed on ovarian and testicular function, with less attention given to other steroidogenic organs, such as the adrenal cortex. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of knowledge regarding the mechanisms by which chemicals interfere ...
Studies have demonstrated that BPs inhibit the growth, attachment and invasion of cancer cells in culture and promote their apoptosis. These results suggest that BPs are also anti-cancer agents, raising the possibility that BPs could inhibit cancer-cell colonization in visceral organs. However, ...
