“Magnesium absorption and excretion are influenced by different hormones: 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D can stimulate intestinal magnesium absorption, estrogens are known to stimulate TRPM6 expression and parathyroid hormone (PTH) is involved in magnesium reabsorption in the kidney, absorption in the intestin...
Neuroimmunology is one of the fastest-growing fields in the life sciences, and for good reason; it fills the gap between two principal systems of the organism, the nervous system and the immune system. Although both systems affect each other through bidi
Name the lymphatic organs and tissues; state where they are located. Tumours that originate from epithelial tissue are [{Blank}]. The collecting ducts: a. contain receptors for ADH hormone. b. run parallel to the ascending limbs of the loops of Henle. c. Both a and b. d....

GLP-1 is secreted from L cells located in the lower small intestine and colon, GIP from K cells located in the proximal small intestine, and glucagon from α-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. GLP-1 suppresses appetite and reduces energy intake, while GIP has no effect on dietary...
Where Are the Metabolic Transporters Located? The PNS is composed of a number of different cell types that all interact to maintain the major function of the PNS, which is communication to and from the CNS. The major cellular components are the primary neurons (i.e., motor neurons and DRG...
AIMAH has also been linked to ectopic or abnormal expression of hormone receptors linked to steroidogenesis in adrenocortical cells, primarily members of the GPCR family, including those for gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), vasopressin (V1-vasopressin), β-adrenergic agonists, LH/hCG, or serotoni...
that are not recognized by host immune responses during normal infection, but are essential for parasite survival, have been tested as cryptic vaccine candidates [48]. One example was the trialling of a soluble form of schistosome lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein (Sm-LAMP), located in the...
Where is it located? Can it be prevented? Can it be cured?—the following answers can be given. What is it? Although the theoretical definition is clear, namely, “an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants”, practically speaking, there are a number of issues ...
