Pancreatic Islet and Stellate Cells Are the Main Sources of Endocrine Gland-Derived Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor/Prokineticin-1 in Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatology (Print), 2008
Aims: Endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF)/prokineticins have been identified as tissue-specific angiogenic factors.

Implications of Endocrine Gland–Derived Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor/Prokineticin-1 Signaling in Human Neuroblastoma Progression

Clinical Cancer Research, 2007
Purpose: Neuroblastoma is a common pediatric tumor that is derived from improperly differentiated neural crest cells (NCC). We recently revealed that endocrine gland–derived vascular endothelial growth factor/prokineticin-1 (EG-VEGF/Prok-1) is a key ...

Endocrine gland‐derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG‐VEGF) expression in colorectal cancer

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2007
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known as an important factor in the growth and metastasis of cancer cells. In 2001, a novel angiogenesis factor, endocrine gland‐derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG‐VEGF), was cloned. In this study,

Localization and quantification of cyclic changes in the expression of endocrine gland vascular endothelial growth factor in the human corpus luteum.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2005
Angiogenesis is essential for normal growth and function of the corpus luteum. The roles of various angiogenic factors in these events are being elucidated.

Endocrine Gland Abnormalities in Thalassemia Major: Λ Brief Review

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism (JPEM), 2003
Thalassemia major (beta-thalassemia) affects a significant segment of the population in certain areas of the world. Alterations in migration patterns have changed the geographic distribution of this disease and made it a worldwide health problem.

A novel general biophysical model for simulating episodic endocrine gland signaling.

American Journal of Physiology, 1988
A multiple-parameter convolution integral is used to define and generate waveforms that quantitatively and qualitatively resemble the experimentally observed behavior of episodic endocrine signals.

The endolymphatic sac, a potential endocrine gland?

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1999
A previous investigation indicated that the chief cells of the endolymphatic sac produce an endogenous inhibitor of sodium re-absorption in the kidneys, which has tentatively been named "saccin". In this study, the ultrastructure of the endolymphatic sac

Pure red cell aplasia and the syndrome of multiple endocrine gland insufficiency.

American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1980
A 26-year-old female with the syndrome of multiple endocrine gland insufficiency developed pure red cell aplasia. A clinical remission of the pure red cell aplasia was induced with prednisone and cyclophosphamide therapy.

A COMPARISON OF THE BODY AND ENDOCRINE GLAND (ADRENAL, THYROID AND PITUITARY) WEIGHTS OF EMOTIONAL AND NON-EMOTIONAL RATS

, 1941
DISSIMILARITY in endocrine gland weights of rats displaying temperamental 11 differences has been reported by several authors. Freudenberger (i) compared JJ the adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary weights of the Wistar with the Long-Evans strain, which he ...

Existence of an Endocrine Gland in the Media of the Renal Arterioles

, 1939
The juxta glomerular apparatus is composed mainly of smooth muscle cells devoid of myofibrils called afibrillar cells (abbr: a. f. cells). 2 , 4 In the superficial cortical zone of the normal kidney of the rabbit, these cell-groups show a glandular cycle
