The aim of this work was to demonstrate the possible direct effect of several hormones upon glucose-induced insulin secretion in amphibians. Hence, pancreas pieces of Bufo arenarum were incubated for 60 min at 25 degrees with 2 and 8 mM

This research was designed to examine the effect of three weeks of administration of corticosterone (20 mg/kg) on endocannabinoid content and cannabinoid CB1 receptor binding in the amygdala. It was found that the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonylglycerol was significantly increased in the

Gastric mucosal responses to intraluminal instillation of acid (10, 50, and 150 mM HCl) and acidified solutions of sodium taurocholate (10 mM) were measured in rats between 5 and 60 days after birth. Net loss of H+ and gain of
The low affinity glucocorticoid binding sites (LAGS) have been described and partially characterized in both the nuclei and microsomes of rat liver. The LAGS concentration is under endocrine regulation, as proved by their decrease after adrenalectomy and their almost complete
Two types of iodothyronine 5'-deiodination have been characterized previously in rat tissues. They can be distinguished by inhibition of type I but not type II by 6-n-propylthiouracil, by the relative suitability of T4 and rT3 as substrates, rT3 much better
