Giant fibrolipoma of the median nerve in the thenar eminence: Case report and literature review
Nerve fibrolipoma is a very rare benign tumor, corresponding to fibrofatty proliferation of the epineurium and perineurium, where most frequently, the median nerve is touched. We report the case of a 52-year-old patient who has a giant fibrolipoma of the

Mitotic figures in the median eminence of the hypothalamus. [PDF]
The median eminence of the hypothalamus is part of the avenue by which neurosecreted hormones from the hypothalamic nuclei reach the pars nervosa (neural lobe) of the pituitary and eventually the bloodstream. Lithium treatment and osmotic stress increases the transport of neurosecretory hormones to the pituitary in the adult rat. Specialized astrocytes

Modulation of fenestrated vasculature in the median eminence and area postrema in response to neurotoxin exposure and its impairment in aging [PDF]
Effective communication between the brain and peripheral tissues is crucial for homeostasis and health, and its impairment is a defining feature of aging. Circumventricular organs, characterized by the presence of fenestrated capillaries and absence of a

Hypothalamic Median Eminence Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone-Degrading Ectoenzyme Activity Is Dispensable for Basal Thyroid Axis Activity in Lean Rodents [PDF]
The amplitude of the phasic output of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) into the hypothalamus–pituitary portal capillaries is likely controlled by the TRH-degrading ectoenzyme (TRH-DE) expressed on the surface of median eminence (ME) β2-tanycytes.

Hypopituitarism in Sox3 null mutants correlates with altered NG2-glia in the median eminence and is influenced by aspirin and gut microbiota. [PDF]
The median eminence (ME), located at the base of the hypothalamus, is an essential centre of information exchange between the brain and the pituitary. We and others previously showed that mutations and duplications affecting the transcription factor SOX3/

Dopamine D1 and D2 receptor immunoreactivities in the arcuate-median eminence complex and their link to the tubero-infundibular dopamine neurons [PDF]
Dopamine D1 and D2 receptor immunohistochemistry and Golgi techniques were used to study the structure of the adult rat arcuate-median eminence complex, and determine the distribution of the dopamine D1 and D2 receptor immunoreactivities therein ...

Compartmentalized VEGF receptor expression in hypothalamic tanycytes reveals a novel non-endothelial axis of VEGF signaling [PDF]
Background Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and their receptors (VEGFRs) are critical regulators of angiogenesis and vascular homeostasis. While VEGF signaling has been extensively studied in endothelial cells, emerging evidence suggests it ...

Myelinated Herring bodies in the median eminence of the cat. [PDF]
An electron-microscopic study was carried out on the median eminence of cats during post-natal development. From the moment of birth (observations performed 12 hours later) Herring bodies were seen in the fibrillary layer of the median eminence. At 45 days after birth, myelinated nerve fibres could be observed, some of them containing neurosecretory ...

Expression of Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 2 (vGluT2) on Large Dense-Core Vesicles within GnRH Neuroterminals of Aging Female Rats. [PDF]
The pulsatile release of GnRH is crucial for normal reproductive physiology across the life cycle, a process that is regulated by hypothalamic neurotransmitters.

Direct evidence for the co-expression of URP and GnRH in a sub-population of rat hypothalamic neurones: anatomical and functional correlation. [PDF]
Urotensin-II-related peptide (URP) is an eight amino-acid neuropeptide recently isolated from rat brain and considered as the endogenous ligand for the GPR14 receptor.
