Exocrine Gland Dysfunction (Mucoviscidosis) in Adults

Radiology, 1963
Since the original description by Fanconi et al. in 1936 (12), with further elaboration by Andersen in 1938 (1), the association of bronchial infection with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas in children has been well known. That this syndrome might persist into adult life was indicated in 1949 by Pugsley and Spence (23), who reported a case of cystic ...

Kallikrein in Exocrine Glands

1979
The earliest citations of a hypotensive substance (urohypotensine) resembling kallikrein appeared in the publications of Abelous and Bardier (1908, 1909). Later, similar hypotensive activity was observed by Pribram and Hernheiser (1920) in urine and by Migay and Petroff (1925) in pancreatic juice.

Polarized Calcium Signaling in Exocrine Gland Cells

Annual Review of Physiology, 2008
Cytosolic Ca2+ signals are crucial for the control of fluid and enzyme secretion from exocrine glands. The highly polarized exocrine acinar cells have evolved sophisticated and complex Ca2+ signaling mechanisms that exercise precise control of the secretory events occurring across the apical plasma membrane bordering the gland lumen.

Pheromones and Exocrine Glands in Isoptera

2010
Termites are eusocial insects that have a peculiar and intriguing system of communication using pheromones. The termite pheromones are composed of a blend of chemical substances and they coordinate different social interactions or activities, including foraging, building, mating, defense, and nestmate recognition.

Exocrine glands ofPolyrhachis simplex: Chemistry and function

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1982
The mandibular glands of the Israeli weaver ant,Polyrhachis simplex, contain a mixture of 4-heptanone, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one and 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-ol;its Dufour's gland secretion consists mainly ofn-tridecane. The significance of these glandular secretions in the biology of the weaver ant is discussed.

Telocytes in Exocrine Glands Stroma

2016
Stroma is viewed as the supportive framework of a predominant epithelial organ, comprising mostly of connective tissue, blood vessels and nerves. Since the discovery of telocytes one decade ago (Popescu and Faussone-Pellegrini J Cell Mol Med 2010;14(4):729-40), their presence was proven in several exocrine gland stromata, including major and minor ...

Gap Junctions in Exocrine Glands

1990
In exocrine glands, the different cells of an acinus are associated by junctional complexes including, in addition to gap junctions, tight junctions and zonulae adherentes. The membrane-differentiation characteristics of gap junctions have been observed in pancreatic acini (Friend and Gilula 1972; Meda et al. 1983) and salivary glands (Kater and Galvin

Effect of KCIO4 on Exocrine Glands

Endocrinology, 1963
Weights, DNA, nitrogen and enzymatic activity of submaxillary gland, parotid gland and pancreas were determined at 30- and 60-day intervals in a control group of rats fed ad lib., an experimental group fed ad lib. and receiving 1 % KC1O4 in their drinking water, and a pair-fed group. Rats on KCIO4 reduced their food intake by about 11%.

Nonselective Cation Channels in Exocrine Gland Cells

1993
The nonselective cation channel has been described in a wide variety of nonexcitable cells. However even in such closely related tissues as the pancreatic acinar cell and the lacrimal acinar cell, which both possess a superficially similar channel, recent work has shown fundamental differences in channel regulation (Sasaki and Gallacher, 1992; Thorn ...

Sjögren's Syndrome: Immunobiology of Exocrine Gland Dysfunction

Advances in Dental Research, 1996
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by dryness of the eyes and mouth. The frequency of this disorder remains controversial, due to absence of a universally accepted classification system. In the San Diego and San Francisco classification systems for primary Sjogren's syndrome, evidence for an autoimmune process and focal ...
