The importance of corticosteroids in cardiovascular and other chronic disease is recognised. In addition, plasma steroid precursor-to-product ratios are useful and convenient indirect indicators of efficiency of key steroidogenic enzymes (aldosterone

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is present in the human prostate and may be activated in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), possibly contributing to the pathophysiology of this disorder by enhancing local sympathetic tone and cell growth. The fun

Mast cells, which are the main source of histamine, are significantly affected by sex steroids. The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of bilateral castration and testosterone replacement on peritoneal histamine concentration and l

The aim of the present investigation was to assess the relative contributions of cholinergic (acetylcholine) and non-cholinergic vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) neurotransmitters

In this study, the role of tyrosine phosphorylation in agonist-stimulated cAMP accumulation and GH release in rat anterior pituitary cells was investigated. It was found that genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, while having no effect on its own,

This study addressed the hypothesis that, in the red-eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripta, non-aromatizable androgens are the physiological equivalent of temperature in determining male development. In the first experiment, eggs were treated in the

The metabolic effects of angiotensin II (AII) were studied under steady-state conditions of euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemia in anaesthetized rats. Pressor doses of AII (50 and 400 ng/kg per min) had dose-dependent hypertensive and hyperglycaemic effect

It is possible that some of the effects of sodium pentobarbitone on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis in the intact animal may be attributable to direct actions on the adrenal cortex. The effects of the barbiturate on steroid production by rat a

The rat adrenal cortex contains quantities of dopamine that are compatible with its function as a neurotransmitter, suggesting that locally released dopamine may act as a neuroregulator within the gland. This possibility has been tested by comparing

The actions of forskolin have been investigated to determine to what extent its effects on steroidogenesis in rat adrenal preparations are dependent on activation of adenylate cyclase. In zona glomerulosa preparations, stimulation of both aldosterone
