Meanings of pituitary cells in English

Extensive destruction of pituitary cells results in varying degree of hypopituitarism.

Leptin did not alter secretion of ACTH from rat primary cultured pituitary cells.

Furthermore, the effect of RFRP-3 on LH secretion was also investigated using cultured female rat pituitary cells.

Possible mechanisms underlying the flow effect and possible physiological relevance of the effect on pituitary cells are discussed.

Normal anterior pituitary cells, in their diversity and heterogeneity, provide a rich source of models for secretory function.

We also observed acid-evoked ASIC-like currents in isolated anterior pituitary cells that were absent in mice lacking ASIC1a.

However, it is not known whether these truncated activin receptors suppress activin effects on cell proliferation in human pituitary cells.

In particular, the transduction events controlling secretion from pituitary cells may differ fundamentally from those found in other cell types.

Inhibin content was measured by a FSH suppressing activity in cultured rat anterior pituitary cells using aquous extract of testes.

These data suggest that ASIC channels are present and functionally active in anterior pituitary cells and may therefore influence their function.

Although estrogen and progesterone receptor immunostaining was negative in the cyst lining, estrogen receptor immunostaining was positive in adjacent pituitary cells.

Cotreatment of LbetaT2 cells or mouse primary pituitary cells with steroids and activin results in a synergistic induction of FSHbeta gene expression.

We show that these PRL secretagogues act on primary pituitary cells and thus are candidates for the elusive PT-expressed tuberalin seasonal hormone regulator.

Together, these results indicate that MAP kinase-dependent fibroblast growth factor stimulation of the rat PRL promoter in pituitary cells is mediated by PKCdelta.

However, it was not known whether goldfish actually produced the free SN peptide or whether SN directly stimulates LH release from isolated pituitary cells.

The results indicated that damnification, for example, apoptosis could be caused by certain dose of CdCl2 in anterior pituitary cells with dose dependent manner.
