Pregnancy via Testicular Sperm Extraction for Anejaculation After Neuroblastoma Surgery
ABSTRACT Background Surgical treatment of a neuroblastoma, a malignant tumor of the sympathetic nervous system, may result in ejaculatory disorder. There are no reports examining ejaculation disorders after neuroblastoma surgery. Case Presentation The patient was a 31‐year‐old Japanese male who had undergone surgery for neuroblastoma of the abdomen at ...

GABA signaling and neuroactive steroids in adrenal medullary chromaffin cells
GABA is produced not only in the brain, but also in endocrine cells by the two isoforms of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), GAD65 and GAD67. In rat adrenal medullary chromaffin cells only GAD67 is expressed, and GABA is stored in large dense core ...

ABSTRACT Solute carrier transporters (SLCs) are integral membrane proteins that play pivotal roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis by mediating the transport of a diverse range of substrates across cell membranes. With their involvement in fundamental physiological processes such as nutrient uptake, neurotransmitter signaling, and drug transport ...

The endocrine system coordinates whole body cellular function and maintains homeostasis. Alcohol impacts the integrity of endocrine regulation at multiple sites, contributing to risk for comorbidities. Some of the alcohol‐mediated pathophysiological effects on the endocrine system include alterations in receptor expression and responsiveness, protein ...

Background Adrenal chromaffin cells mediate acute responses to stress through the release of epinephrine. Chromaffin cell function is regulated by several receptors, present both in adrenergic (AD) and noradrenergic (NA) cells.

Plasma Membrane and Chromaffin Granule Characteristics in Digitonin‐Treated Chromaffin Cells [PDF]
Abstract: Digitonin permeabilizes the plasma membranes of bovine chromaffin cells to Ca2+, ATP, and proteins and allows micromolar Ca2+ in the medium to stimulate directly catecholamine secretion. In the present study the effects of digitonin (20 μM) on the plasma membrane and on intracellular chromaffin granules were further characterized. Cells with

ABSTRACT Objective Successful adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is traditionally assessed using the ratio of cortisol in adrenal to peripheral venous plasma to calculate the selectivity index. With mass spectrometry other steroids can be simultaneously measured that may improve numbers of apparent successful sampling procedures.

Abstract Early detection of metastases and timely surgical intervention play a crucial role in the management of neuroendocrine tumors. In large‐sized pheochromocytomas and sympathetic paragangliomas (PPGL), functional imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) is recommended, as it improves the detection of metastases, which may go undetected on ...

Stress Nutrition in Aquatic Animals: From Definition to Practice
ABSTRACT Aquaculture faces numerous challenges, with stress being one of the major issues that lead to growth loss, metabolic disorders, weakened immunity, redox imbalance, and organ damage in aquatic animals. Nutritional intervention is one of the effective strategies to address these problems. Traditional research has primarily focused on the impacts

Review of Pediatric Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
Pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) are rare chromaffin cell tumors which secrete catecholamines and form part of the family of neuroendocrine tumors.
