Neonate developmentMetabolic syndromeBirth weightStudies over the last several years have revealed important roles for adipose tissue that have been looked at with renewed interest. Adipose tissue is now regarded as a complex, highly active metabolic, endocrine organ. In fact, it secretes biologically ...
The glandular epithelium lines various glands and their ducts throughout the body, which then later proliferate to produce various hormones and enzymes. The glandular epithelium is divided into exocrine and endocrine glands on the basis of the presence of ducts. Epithelial tissue forms the first line...

The ovary is a remarkable organ that regulates the balance of reproductive hormones and the periodic development of mature oocytes during the menstrual cycle. Another disorder that affects women's reproductive health is premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), which is a degenerative phenomenon in the ov...
The leukocyte then secretes enzymes that digest the basement membrane of the endothelium, allowing the leukocyte to complete its migration through the venule wall into the tissue. Once the leukocyte has emigrated into the tissue, it depends on the binding of β1-integrin molecules (called very ...
Researchers have successfully used human stem cells to generate functional pituitary tissue that secretes hormones important for the body's stress response as well as for its growth and reproductive functions. When transplanted into rats with hypopituitarism—a disease linked to dwarfism and premature agi...

Glands are secretory tissues present throughout the human body that can be divided into endocrine and exocrine glands. Endocrine glands mainly comprise specialized epithelium, which secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream. Exocrine glands are characterized by clusters of substance-producing cells ter...
