Chromatin status and transcription factor binding to gonadotropin promoters in gonadotrope cell lines. [PDF]
BackgroundProper expression of key reproductive hormones from gonadotrope cells of the pituitary is required for pubertal onset and reproduction. To further our understanding of the molecular events taking place during embryonic development, leading to ...

Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Endocrine System in the Hagfish
The hypothalamic-pituitary system is considered to be a seminal event that emerged prior to or during the differentiation of the ancestral agnathans (jawless vertebrates).

Glycosylation in the thyroid gland : vital aspects of glycoprotein function in thyrocyte physiology and thyroid disorders [PDF]
The key proteins responsible for hormone synthesis in the thyroid are glycosylated. Oligosaccharides strongly affect the function of glycosylated proteins.

Pesticide Exposure Alters Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Levels in Mexican Agricultural Workers [PDF]
Organophosphorous pesticides (OPs) are suspected of altering reproductive function by reducing brain acetylcholinesterase activity and monoamine levels, thus impairing hypothalamic and/or pituitary endocrine functions and gonadal processes. Our objective

Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) regulates growth hormone release from the pituitary. However, in addition to this neuroendocrine action, much evidence implies an additional role for GHRH in carcinogenesis in non-pituitary tissues. This role of GHRH in cancer development appears to be due to the operation of several mechanisms, which involve the

Age‐Related Characteristics of SYT1‐Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder
ABSTRACT Objectives We describe the clinical manifestations and developmental abilities of individuals with SYT1‐associated neurodevelopmental disorder (Baker‐Gordon syndrome) from infancy to adulthood. We further describe the neuroradiological and electrophysiological characteristics of the condition at different ages, and explore the associations ...

PACAP induces FSHβ gene expression via EPAC. [PDF]
Gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), are heterodimers of a common α subunit and unique β subunits. Regulation of their levels, primarily by GnRH, is critical for reproductive function.

Cloning of the Chicken Pituitary Receptor for Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone [PDF]
Details of the regulation of GH in birds are unclear. In this report, a receptor was cloned from chicken pituitary cDNA with 61% amino acid sequence identity to the human pituitary GHRH receptor. Phylogenies inferred from sequence alignments support that this is the chicken counterpart of the GHRH receptor known in mammals. Northern blotting shows that
