Steroid Hormones: Membrane transporters of steroid hormones
The discovery of a plasma membrane ABC protein that exports steroids in yeast highlights the possibility that similar membrane sorting systems in mammalian cells may modulate the access of steroids to their receptors.
متن کاملPlants capable of selfing are more likely to become naturalized
Many plant species have established self-sustaining populations outside their natural range because of human activities. Plants with selfing ability should be more likely to establish outside their historical range because they can reproduce from a single individual when mates or pollinators are not available. Here, we compile a global breeding-system database of 1,752 angiosperm species and us...
متن کاملPituitary Thyrotropic Cells Are Affected by Steroid Hormones
Thyrotrophs are basophilic TSH hormone-producing cells occurring in pars distalis (pd) and pars tuberalis (pt) of the adenohypophysis. These cells are involved in the regulation of thyroid hormones secretion through the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid complex. Within the thyrotrope subsets other neuroendocrine peptides are co-localized with TSH hormonesecretogranins/chromogranins, a highly conse...
متن کاملGelechiidae Moths Are Capable of Chemically Dissolving the Pollen of Their Host Plants: First Documented Sporopollenin Breakdown by an Animal
BACKGROUND Many insects feed on pollen surface lipids and contents accessible through the germination pores. Pollen walls, however, are not broken down because they consist of sporopollenin and are highly resistant to physical and enzymatic damage. Here we report that certain Microlepidoptera chemically dissolve pollen grains with exudates from their mouthparts. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS...
متن کاملNon-steroid Ovariak Hormones
In 1950, Frieden and Hisaw (2) described a method for the isolation of relaxin from the ovaries of pregnant sows. This method, which involved extraction of ground whole ovaries with 5 per cent aqueous SaCl, fractionation with ethanol, and finally precipitation with acetone, afforded good yields (200 to 250 GPU’ of relaxin per gm. of fresh tissue), and material of saCsfactory potency (30 to 90 G...
