Expression of three GnRH receptors in specific tissues in male and female sea lampreys Petromyzon marinus at three distinct life stages [PDF]

, 2013
Two recently cloned gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors (lamprey GnRH-R-2 and lamprey GnRH-R-3) along with lamprey (l) GnRH-R-1 were shown to share similar structural features and amino acid motifs common to other vertebrate receptors.

Long‐term impact of stressful life events on breast cancer risk: A 36‐year genetically informed prospective study in the Finnish Twin Cohort

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Breast cancer results from a combination of genetic and environmental causes, and the cumulative effect of stressful life events may be a contributing factor. Here, the authors analyzed data from cohort and twin‐pair studies including 36 years of follow‐up to find out how stressful life events affect breast cancer risk. They found that even

The role of stereotactic radiosurgery in the multimodal management of growth hormone–secreting pituitary adenomas [PDF]

, 2010
Growth hormone (GH)–secreting pituitary adenomas represent a common source of GH excess in patients with acromegaly. Whereas surgical extirpation of the culprit lesion is considered first-line treatment, as many as 19% of patients develop recurrent ...

A review of the impact of micro‐ and nanoplastics on female reproduction: What we know and gaps in knowledge

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Micro‐and nanoplastics (MNPs) are breakdown products of plastics, and humans are exposed to these particles through air, water, food, and soil. There is a growing concern that human exposure to MNPs negatively impacts health. In this review we will discuss the potential health impact of MNPs on ovarian function and the hypothalamic–pituitary ...

Involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and its interaction with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in the ontogeny of avian thermoregulation: a review [PDF]

, 2008
The emergence of thermoregulation in avian species is a complex matter in which neural as well as hormonal processes are involved. In a previous paper, the neural aspects of primary avian thermoregulation were discussed.

An Evaluation of Oral Subchronic Toxicity of Maizinol (UP165), a Zea mays Leaf Extract

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays) has been consumed by humans for millennia and represents the third most abundant crop grown globally. Maize and maize‐derived products have a long history of safe consumption from bread and other cereal products in human diets worldwide. Aside from key dietary components like carbohydrates and proteins, the corn plant contains

Early precursor-derived pituitary gland tissue-resident macrophages play a pivotal role in modulating hormonal balance

Cell Reports
Summary: The pituitary gland is the central endocrine regulatory organ producing and releasing hormones that coordinate major body functions. The physical location of the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, though outside the protective blood-brain

Fertility and Early Embryonic Development Toxicity of hzVSF‐v13 in Sprague–Dawley Rats

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Humanized virus suppressing factor–variant 13 (hzVSF‐v13), a monoclonal IgG4 antibody, is a potential therapeutic candidate for COVID‐19. Although fertility and embryonic developmental toxicity studies are crucial for the safety evaluation of new drugs, the toxicological profile of hzVSF‐v13 remains unexplored.
