Multiple actions of steroid hormones--a focus on rapid, nongenomic effects.
According to the traditional model, steroid hormones bind to intracellular receptors and subsequently modulate transcription and protein synthesis, thus triggering genomic events finally responsible for delayed effects. Based upon similarities in molecular structure, specific receptors for steroids, vitamin D(3) derivatives, thyroid hormone, retinoids, and a variety of orphan receptors are cons...
متن کاملIn quest of thyroid hormone function in mature mammalian brain.
Thyroid hormones (TH) have important functions in maturation, differentiation and metabolism during developmental periods in almost all types of tissues including brain of vertebrate animals. In humans' thyroid malfunction in early developmental stages cause severe neuropsychological abnormalities due to defective gene expression via nuclear receptor activation. However, role of TH in adult mam...
متن کاملOverlapping nongenomic and genomic actions of thyroid hormone and steroids
The genomic actions of thyroid hormone and steroids depend upon primary interactions of the hormones with their specific nuclear receptor proteins. Formation of nuclear co-activator or co-repressor complexes involving the liganded receptors subsequently result in transcriptional events-either activation or suppression-at genes that are specific targets of thyroid hormone or steroids. Nongenomic...
متن کاملBrain injury management: quo vadis?
At the 2005 CNS meeting, this paper was part of a session devoted to current management strategies and neurosurgical treatment algorithms derived from both clinical experience and evidence-based medicine. The overall theme of the meeting was “Quo Vadis?,” or “Where are you going?,” a theme that emphasized future developments in neurosurgery. This chapter will integrate the specific session’s fo...
متن کاملThe Effect of Central Injection of Ghrelin and Bombesin on Mean Plasma Thyroid Hormones Concentration
Ghrelin increases food intakes and body weight. Bombesin decreases food intakes and inhibits the stimulatory effect of Ghrelin on food intakes. Thyroid hormones have a crucial role in the regulation of body weight and yet the effect of bombesin on thyroid axis activity is not fully clear. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the effect of different doses of Ghrelin or bombesin on ...
