2A and B) than the plasma membrane Ca2+-pumps (mainly the PMCAs) (Fig. 2A) could counter. Hence an additional system had to be created: the endoplasmic reticulum with two key variants, the smooth ER (SER) and the rough ER (RER), containing a Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA pump) that differs ...
The somatic endocrine cells of the ovarian follicle - the granulosa cells (GCs)—participate in the strict hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) feedback loop that governs the menstrual cycle via endocrine and paracrine regulators, as AMH and Inhibins. We aimed to unravel the direct effect of the...
the placenta governs metabolic coordination between mother and fetus [208]. The placenta can sense the nutritional needs of the fetus, coordinate the maternal nutritional supply, and regulate its nutritional transport capacity [209]. The placenta is also an important endocrine organ that ...
Rngtt governs biliary-derived liver regeneration initiation by transcriptional regulation of mTORC1 and Dnmt1 in zebrafish. Hepatology 78, 167–178 (2023). PubMed Google Scholar He, J., Lu, H., Zou, Q. & Luo, L. Regeneration of liver after extreme hepatocyte loss occurs mainly via ...
Effect of endocrine-disrupting chemicals Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous substances that interfere with the endocrine system, disrupting homeostasis and the regulation of developmental processes. EDCs mimic endogenous hormones due to similarities in structure, leading to either the activatio...
Answer to: The somatic system governs a. muscle movements. b. involuntary activities. c. glandular secretions. d. heart rate and breathing. By...
Glioblastoma is the commonest and deadliest primary brain tumor. Glioblastoma is characterized by significant intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity, resis
In the context of learned fear, stimulation of GABA+ cells in the ZI effectively suppresses fear responses and enhances fear discrimination by acting mainly through its efferents in the thalamic reuniens (Venkataraman et al., 2019, 2021). Together, these studies suggest that the ZI can regulate ...
Cannabis action is mediated by the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which expression is well established in the brain but unknown in the developing testis. The fetal testis, whose endocrine function orchestrates the masculinization of many distant organs, is particularly sensitive to disruption by ...
Studies of LHRH Secretion into the Hypophyseal Portal Blood of the Ram: Gonadal Regulation of LH Secretion Is Exerted Mainly at the Hypothalamic LevelLHRH is the most important peptide involved in the regulation of reproduction, and the pattern of LHRH secretion is the major control that governs,...
