Role of the Androgen Receptor in Gender-Related Cancers
Endocrines, 2023 The androgen receptor (AR) is expressed in many cell types, and its related signaling is widely investigated in hormone-dependent cancers such as prostate and breast. The significance of the AR, however, has been detected even in other cancers, including

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2020 Matured hop bitter acids (MHBA) are bitter acid oxides derived from hops, widely consumed as food ingredients to add bitterness and flavor in beers. Previous studies have suggested a potential gut-brain mechanism in which MHBA simulates enteroendocrine cells to produce cholecystokinin (CCK), a gastrointestinal hormone which activates autonomic nerves ...

Heterogeneous expression of Drosophila gustatory receptors in enteroendocrine cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The gastrointestinal tract is emerging as a major site of chemosensation in mammalian studies. Enteroendocrine cells are chemosensory cells in the gut which produce regulatory peptides in response to luminal contents to regulate gut physiology, food ...

Versatile Functions of Somatostatin and Somatostatin Receptors in the Gastrointestinal System
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Somatostatin (SST) and somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) play an important role in the brain and gastrointestinal (GI) system. SST is produced in various organs and cells, and the inhibitory function of somatostatin-containing cells is involved in a range ...

A Review of the Role of Neurotensin and Its Receptors in Colorectal Cancer
Gastroenterology Research and Practice, 2017 Neurotensin (NTS) is a physiologically occurring hormone which affects the function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In recent years, NTS, acting through its cellular receptors (NTSR), has been implicated in the carcinogenesis of several cancers.

Melatonin Sources in Sheep Rumen and Its Role in Reproductive Physiology
AnimalsIn mammals, the melatonin (Mel) concentration in the gastrointestinal tract is 400 times greater than in the pineal gland. However, the origin of Mel in the gastrointestinal tract and its role in reproductive regulation remains unclear.
