In Indonesia, the agribusiness sector has begun to expand due increase in entrepreneurship of orchid plants. Several genera and species plants are promising be traded as ornamental plants, one which is moon (Phalaenopsis amabilis). However, limited number seeds or produced by conventional propagation methods takes a long time get new tillers. Therefore, tissue culture techniques can used grow r...

background and objective: endocrine disorders are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (ckd). the aim of the present study is reviewing available literature to give a deep understanding of complexities of endocrine disorders in chronic kidney disease. methods: a narrative reviewing method based on the available literature was approached. findings: generally, when renal function decrea...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and kinetin (KIN) on Mucor indicus growth, cell wall composition, and ethanol production. A semi-synthetic medium, supplemented with 0-5 mg/L hormones, was used for the cultivations (at 32 °C for 48 h). By addition of 1 mg/L of each hormone, the biomass and ethanol yields were increased and decreased, respe...

Gonadal, adrenal, and thyroid hormones affect the brain directly, and the sensitivity to hormones begins in embryonic life with the appearance of hormone receptor sites in discrete populations of neurons. Because the secretion of hormones is also under control by its neural and pituitary targets, the brain-endocrine axis during development is in a delicately balanced state that can be upset in ...

This paper reviews 22 published field studies that have found an association between exposure to environmental contaminants and alterations in thyroid gland structure, circulating thyroid hormones and vitamin A (retinoid) status in free-ranging populations of wildlife and fish. Vitamin A and thyroid hormones play critical roles during development, growth and function 'throughout life. Studies o...

Neurosteroids were initially defined as steroid hormones locally synthesized within the nervous tissue. Subsequently, they were described as steroid hormone derivatives that devoid hormonal action but still affect neuronal excitability through modulation of ionotropic receptors. Neurosteroids are further subdivided into natural (produced in the brain) and synthetic. Some authors distinguish bet...

Nc ORMAL reproduction and lactation in domestic animals are regulated by hormones, a group of chemical materials that are secreted by the ductless or endocrine glands directly into the blood stream. The blood carries these chemical messengers to the parts of the body where they produce their effects. Of the endocrine glands, the pituitary is the most important. In the cow it is about the size o...
