. 2004 Mar;
49 Online Pub:OL481-6.
PMID: 14995079
Intracerebroventricular injections of oligonucleotide probes complementary to oxytocin mRNA are known to decrease systemic oxytocin levels. In this study we show that immunoreactive oxytocin in the magnocellular hypothalamic perikarya and...

PMID: 12481554
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily and they bind target DNA sequences as heterodimers to regulate transcription. This article surveys...

PMID: 11561211
We used immunocytochemistry to obtain a complete cellular and subcellular mapping of the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor protein (VDR) in the rat limbic system. We observed specific VDR immunostaining in the...

. 2000 Sep;
275(52):41114-23.
PMID: 11001945
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) acts as heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor alpha (RXR) to control transcriptional activity of target genes. To explore the influence of heterodimerization on the...

PMID: 10223312
A complete mapping study on the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor immunoreactivity within the rat central nervous system was performed with a monoclonal and a polyclonal antibody. Specific immunostaining was observed within...

PMID: 9757035
We have mapped areas within the central nervous system (CNS) of the developing fetal rat which immunostain for the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor (VDR). The VDR was detected from days 12...

PMID: 9220147
With receptor immunocytochemistry, neurons receptive for the steroidhormone 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 have been observed in hypothalamic nuclei. In the present paper we report that a fraction of 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor (VDR)...

PMID: 8573190
1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is of clinical importance (e.g. in the treatment of psoriasis) given its ability to regulate the proliferation and differentiation of human keratinocytes. 1.25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 mediates its action via...
