Obes Surg
. 2011 Oct;
22(3):478-86.
PMID: 21964795
Background: Hepatic 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) activity, which converts cortisone (inactive) to cortisol, is downregulated in obesity. However, this compensation fails in obese with metabolic abnormalities, such as diabetes....

PMID: 21184749
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) increases the levels of somatostatin (SS) and its mRNA. To test the hypothesis that the regulation of SS synthesis by BDNF occurs at the transcriptional...

PMID: 19859966
Ca(2+) influx through L-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (L-VSCC) is required for K(+)-induced somatostatin (SS) mRNA. Increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration leads to the activation of cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein...

PMID: 17920050
The stimulatory effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on myelin basic protein (MBP) expression, a parameter for oligodendrocyte development, is mediated by the MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways. We...

Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab
. 2007 Aug;
293(5):E1140-52.
PMID: 17684105
Growth hormone (GH) secretion and serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) decline with aging. This study addresses the role played by the hypothalamic regulators in the aging GH decline and investigates...

J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci
. 2007 Jun;

PMID: 17595414
Growth hormone (GH) declines during aging. This study investigates whether pituitary constitutive alterations may be involved in the GH decline. Two groups of male Wistar rats were studied (young: 3-month-old;...

. 2005 Nov;
95(4):1091-107.
PMID: 16271046
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a potent inducer of oligodendrocyte development and myelination. Although IGF-I intracellular signaling has been well described in several cell types, intracellular mechanisms for IGF-I-induced...

Biol Reprod
. 2003 Oct;
70(2):348-55.
PMID: 14561652
Appropriate expression of the GnRH receptor (GnRH-R) in gonadotrophs is critical for GnRH signaling and hence for gonadotropin secretion and sexual development. In the present work, we have studied the...

Neuroendocrinology
. 2003 Jun;
77(5):341-52.
PMID: 12806180
In previous studies we demonstrated that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) induces pituitary vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) gene expression and secretion, and that IGF-I-induced prolactin (PRL) release is mediated by...

PMID: 12627230
We took advantage of overlapping interstitial deletions at chromosome 8p11-p12 in two individuals with contiguous gene syndromes and defined an interval of roughly 540 kb associated with a dominant form...
