Salivary gland is capable of GH synthesis under GHRH stimulation.
Twelve female rats weighing approximately 150 g received in the submaxillary gland a pellet capable of releasing 3.5 microg GHRH/h for 60 days. Another eight sex- and weight-matched animals received placebo pellets in the same place. After two months the animals were killed, heart blood was collected and pituitary and submaxillary glands were carefully dissected. Pituitary GH content in both pl...
متن کاملGH gene expression in the submaxillary gland in normal and Ames dwarf mice.
High local GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) levels are capable of inducing transdifferentiation in salivary cells to synthesize GH. However, the factors implicated in this process remain unknown. To study this subject, normal and Ames dwarf mice were implanted in the submaxillary gland with a slow release pellet releasing 21 microgram GHRH (1-29)-NH(2)/day for 2 months. Control animals received plac...
متن کاملStimulation of DNA synthesis of rat salivary gland cells in monolayer cultures by isoproterenol.
other laboratories have not been successful (9). Organ cul tures of rat exocrine glands survive for only brief periods (8). Observations on the effects of IPR on monolayer cell cultures obtained from rat salivary glands are presented in this report. Specifically, attempts were made to establish cultures of salivary gland epitheial cells, demonstrate the presence of parenchymal cells by identify...
متن کاملGhrelin and growth hormone (GH) secretagogues potentiate GH-releasing hormone (GHRH)-induced cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate production in cells expressing transfected GHRH and GH secretagogue receptors.
GHRH stimulates GH secretion from somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary via a pathway that involves GHRH receptor activation of adenylyl cyclase and increased cAMP production. The actions of GHRH to release GH can be augmented by the synthetic GH secretagogues (GHS), which bind to a distinct G protein-coupled receptor to activate phospholipase C and increase production of the second messe...
متن کاملRecruiting of somatotroph cells after combined somatostatin, GHRH and growth hormone (GH) secretagogue stimulation in a study of pituitary GH reserve in prepuberal female rats.
Diagnostic confirmation of growth hormone (GH) deficiency in children and adults is based on stimulation tests designed to assess the pituitary reserve by measuring the amount of GH released into the bloodstream; however, the results obtained by this means cannot provide any direct indication of the amount of GH actually produced by pituitary somatotroph cells. The present paper sought to test ...
