Inside the head of Crotalus durissus LINNAEUS, 1758 (Serpentes, Viperidae, Crotalinae): Macroscopic description of the brain with ontogenetic insights

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomy studies in vertebrates have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly driven by advancements in computerized tomography imaging techniques. Nonetheless, these advancements remain largely constrained to specific vertebrate groups, notably mammals, birds, and fish, leaving studies in reptiles at an incipient stage.

Critical roles of endogenous glucocorticoids for disease tolerance in malaria

, 2019
During malaria, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is activated and glucocorticoid (GC) levels are increased, but their essential roles have been largely overlooked.

Shell Neurons of the Master Circadian Clock Coordinate the Phase of Tissue Clocks Throughout the Brain and Body [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Daily rhythms in mammals are programmed by a master clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The SCN contains two main compartments (shell and core), but the role of each region in system-level coordination remains ill defined.

LYSOSOME FUNCTION IN THE REGULATION OF THE SECRETORY PROCESS IN CELLS OF THE ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND

Journal of Cell Biology, 1966
The nature and content of lytic bodies and the localization of acid phosphatase (AcPase) activity were investigated in mammotrophic hormone-producing cells (MT) from rat anterior pituitary glands.

Growth Hormone Promotes Lipolysis and Impairs Insulin Sensitivity by Activating the ERK/HSL Signaling Pathway in Bovine Adipocytes

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study was to evaluate the role of GH in lipolysis and insulin sensitivity in bovine adipocytes and clarify the underlying mechanism. Our findings demonstrate that GH activates ERK/HSL signaling pathway, promotes lipolysis, and impairs insulin sensitivity in bovine adipocytes.

An experimental medicine protocol for exploring the haemodynamic effects of dual agonism at the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 and glucagon receptor in healthy subjects

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) and glucagon dual receptor agonists are in clinical development for a range of metabolic conditions, including type 2 diabetes and obesity. The cardiovascular actions at these receptors are well studied, but less is known about their combination.

Normative Data for The Dimensions and Volume of Pituitary Gland in The General Population Undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging Under a Tertiary Care Center: An Observational Study

Journal of Nepal Medical Association
Introduction: The pituitary gland is a pivotal neuroendocrine organ responsible for regulating essential physiological functions. Normative data on its dimensions and volume are crucial for identifying pathological changes in clinical settings. However,

Transcriptional profiling and pathway analysis reveal differences in pituitary gland function, morphology, and vascularization in chickens genetically selected for high or low body weight

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Though intensive genetic selection has led to extraordinary advances in growth rate and feed efficiency in production of meat-type chickens, endocrine processes controlling these traits are still poorly understood. The anterior pituitary gland

Relationship between bridging and dimensions of sella turcica with classification of craniofacial skeleton [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: In orthodontics, it is essential to determine the craniofacial skeleton pattern (class I, II, III) for planning treatment. Sella turcica bridging that is seen on lateral cephalometric radiographs is considered as a normal finding.

Fusion Pores as Regulators of Quantal Size and Cellular Physiology

BioEssays, EarlyView.
During regulated exocytosis, membrane fusion regulatory factors act directly on SNAREs and membrane lipids to control fusion pore dynamics. This, in turn, leads to a differential amount of cargo release (referred to in this article as “quantal size”) across various cell types, thereby triggering distinct physiological cues.
