Thyroxine-binding globulin: investigation of microheterogeneity [PDF]
Preparations of T4-binding globulin (TBG) from human serum was performed using only two affinity chromatography steps. Purity of the protein was demonstrated by a single band in overloaded disc and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, equimolar ...

Variation in the Thyrotropic Activity of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Arises from Differential Expression of the Human Thyrotropin Receptor and Microheterogeneity of the Hormone. [PDF]
The role of hCG as a stimulator of the human thyroid has been a subject of controversy, because discrepant results have been obtained in different in vitro assays.

Selective thyroid hormone receptor modulators
Thyroid hormone (TH) is known to have many beneficial effects on vital organs, but its extrapolation to be used therapeutically has been restricted by the fact that it does have concurrent adverse effects.

Thyroid hormone inhibits the human prolactin gene promoter by interfering with activating protein-1 and estrogen stimulations [PDF]
Transcription of the human PRL (hPRL) gene in the pituitary is subject to tissue-specific and multihormonal regulation involving two main regulatory regions, a proximal promoter and a distal enhancer.

Effect of hyperthyroidism on circulating prolactin and hypothalamic expression of tyrosine hydroxylase, prolactin signaling cascade members and estrogen and progesterone receptors during late pregnancy and lactation in the rat [PDF]
Hyperthyroidism (HyperT) compromises pregnancy and lactation, hindering suckling-induced PRL release. We studied the effect of HyperT on hypothalamic mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein (Western blot) expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), PRL receptor (PRLR ...

Calcitonin values in pseudohypoparathyroidism [PDF]
Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A is a rare endocrine disorder caused by GNAS mutation and the resulting hormone resistance at the receptor level, i.e. the activation of the intracellular pathway of the Gs alpha subunit is not possible.

Thyroid hormone receptor beta: Relevance in human health and diseases
Thyroid Hormone Receptor (THR) is a member of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily, best defined as intracellular ligand-modulated transcription factors. Thyroid hormone (TH), by binding to THR, regulates several physiological and metabolic processes, e.

Pleiotropy as the Mechanism for Evolving Novelty: Same Signal, Different Result. [PDF]
In contrast to the probabilistic way of thinking about pleiotropy as the random expression of a single gene that generates two or more distinct phenotypic traits, it is actually a deterministic consequence of the evolution of complex physiology from the ...
