OBJECTIVES: Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), was recently identified in the stomach. Ghrelin is produced in a population of endocrine cells in the gastric mucosa, but expression in intestine, hypothalamus and testis has also been reported. Recent data indicate that ghrelin affects insulin secretion and plays a direct role in metabolic regulation and energy balance. On the basis of these findings, we decided to examine whether ghrelin is expressed in human pancreas. Specimens from fetal to adult human pancreas and stomach were studied by immunocytochemistry, for ghrelin and islet hormones, and in situ hybridisation, for ghrelin mRNA. RESULTS: We identified ghrelin expression in a separate population of islet cells in human fetal, neonatal, and adult pancreas. Pancreatic ghrelin cells were numerous from midgestation to early postnatally (10% of all endocrine cells). The cells were few, but regularly seen in adults as single cells at the islet periphery, in exocrine tissue, in ducts, and in pancreatic ganglia. Ghrelin cells did not express any of the known islet hormones. In fetuses, at midgestation, ghrelin cells in the pancreas clearly outnumbered those in the stomach. CONCLUSIONS: Ghrelin is expressed in a quite prominent endocrine cell population in human fetal pancreas, and ghrelin expression in the pancreas precedes by far that in the stomach. Pancreatic ghrelin cells remain in adult islets at lower numbers. Ghrelin is not co-expressed with any known islet hormone, and the ghrelin cells may therefore constitute a new islet cell type.

The objective of this study was to determine concentration of adrenomedullin (AM) in follicular fluid and whether a correlation exists between AM and nitric oxide (NO) or endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in follicular fluid, serum 17beta-estradiol or other parameters of ovarian function in spontaneous and gonadotrophin stimulated ovarian cycles. Follicular fluid samples were obtained at oocyte retrieval from 50 women who underwent an in vitro fertilization (IVF) program: 40 undergoing ovarian hyperstimulation with recombinant FSH and 10 had spontaneous ovarian cycles. AM, ET-1, and NO were detected in all of the follicular fluid samples and their concentrations were similar in spontaneous and stimulated cycles. In patients undergoing ovarian stimulation, follicular fluid AM levels correlated with serum 17beta-estradiol concentration. No correlation was found between follicular AM concentration and parameters of ovarian function. Similarly, no relationship was observed between ET-1, NO, and AM follicular fluid concentrations in either spontaneous or stimulated cycles.This study suggests a possible regulatory effect of the sexual hormones on AM production by the ovary during the ovulatory process. The site of AM secretion and its function (if any), however, remain to be established.

To determine whether differences in ovarian follicle populations and endocrine status at ovum pick-up (OPU) influenced the quality and developmental competence of oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCC's) collected from follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-stimulated donors, 24 Simmental heifers had their ovarian follicles aspirated via transvaginal ultrasound-guided OPU at both 15 (OPU1) and 21 (OPU2) days following a synchronised oestrus, on four consecutive occasions at 15-week intervals. More OCC's were collected during OPU1 than OPU2 (means +/- S.E.M. = 7.2 +/- 0.47 versus 5.7 +/- 0.44; P = 0.01), but the respective percentages that were of good quality (categories 1 and 2) did not differ significantly (55 +/- 3% versus 47 +/- 3%). The incidence of zygote cleavage following OCC maturation (Medium 199; protein-free), in vitro fertilization (mTALP; including 0.6% (w/v) albumin) and culture (modified SOF; protein-free) was not significantly different (mean +/- S.E.M. = 81 +/- 2% and 71 +/- 7% for OPU1 and OPU2, respectively). Corresponding blastocyst yields from good quality OCC's (24 +/- 3% and 26 +/- 4%) also did not differ. Although the same 3-day FSH regimen was used immediately prior to each OPU session, plasma FSH concentrations were consistently lower at OPU1 than OPU2 (1.3 +/- 0.28 ng/ml versus 2.5 +/- 0.45 ng/ml; P < 0.05). In contrast, plasma progesterone concentrations were higher at OPU1 (6.6 +/- 0.48 ng/ml versus 3.9 +/- 0.53 ng/ml; P < 0.001), with concentrations at OPU2 being consistent with the presence of luteal tissues, including both persistent corpora lutea and luteinised follicle remnants following OPU1. Failure of the significant differences in follicular and endocrine status between OPU1 and OPU2 to alter the developmental competence of OCC's suggests that, probably as a result of its stabilising influence on nutritionally-sensitive intraovarian regulators of oocyte competence, the constant feeding regimen had a more profound effect on oocyte quality than observed shifts in the peripheral concentrations of some reproductive hormones. Finally, the study demonstrates that it is possible to generate acceptable numbers of in vitro blastocyst-stage embryos from high genetic merit heifers using strategies which restrict reliance on protein to the in vitro fertilization stage of the production process. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

A role of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the neuro-endocrine-immune interactions has been recently suggested by the presence of NGF and its receptors in cells of the immune and endocrine systems. The improvement in the comprehension of the role played by NGF in humans is linked to the availability of a sensitive and reliable method to quantify NGF concentrations in body fluids and tissues. As a consequence of different methods used, normal levels of human serum NGF reported in the literature show wide differences. The present results indicate that ELISA appears very sensitive (detection limit 1.4pg/ml) and allows the discrimination of subtle variations of serum NGF concentrations. ELISA performed in serum obtained from men indicated that NGF concentration was 40.8+/-10.8pg/ml, whereas women showed significantly lower levels that were influenced by the menstrual cycle. In particular, the mean value of this neurotrophin during the follicular phase was 8.2+/-1.4pg/ml; the luteal phase, in turn, showed levels up to 14.4+/-2.9pg/ml. The difference of serum NGF concentrations between the follicular and luteal phase in each woman was statistically significant. Differences in NGF concentrations between men and women (in both phases of the menstrual cycles) were also statistically significant. In conclusion, a possible role of sex steroids as modulators of NGF secretion in humans is strongly supported by the present paper. However, mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still unknown. The evidence indicating physiological sex hormone-related variations in NGF levels would be of interest in view of the possible use of circulating NGF modifications as a laboratory biomarker in different diseases.

The effect of energy status on the response of luteinizing hormone (LH) pulse frequency to acute short-term energy deficiency created by fasting in estradiol-treated ovariectomized Shiba goats was studied in two experiments. In experiment 1, eight goats whose mean body weight (BW) was 25.6 +/- 5.8 (mean +/- S.D.)kg were fed 500 g hay cubes daily for 1 week. Then they were fasted for 3 days. Blood samples were collected for 4 h at 6 min intervals on the last day of feeding, first, second and third day of fasting for LH analysis. The goats were divided into light (<24 kg, n = 4) and heavy (> or =24 kg, n = 4) groups for data analysis. There was no difference in LH pulse frequency between the last day of feeding and each day of fasting in the heavy group. LH pulse frequency was significantly (P < 0.05) suppressed on the second day (3.3 +/- 1.3 pulses/4 h) and on the third day (2.3 +/- 1.9 pulses/4 h) relative to the day prior to fasting (4.8 +/- 1.5 pulses/4 h) in the light group. In experiment 2, BW plus a body mass index (gBMI: (body weight (kg)/withers height (m)/body length (m)) x 10) were measured to define energy status. Nine goats (BW, 25.6 +/- 5.8 kg) were fed 500 g hay cubes daily for a week and then fasted for 3 days. Then they were divided into two groups offered either a maintenance (n = 4) or a restricted (n = 5) level of feeding for 4 weeks. The restricted level of feeding was 30% of maintenance requirement based on the BW recorded weekly. The feeding level was then adjusted to maintain BW for a further week followed by 3 day fasting for restricted animals. Blood samples were collected for 6 h at 10 min intervals on the day prior to fasting and on third day of fasting before and after the dietary manipulation. BW (26.6 +/- 2.2 to 26.8 +/- 3.8 kg) and gBMI (8.4 +/- 0.4 to 7.8 +/- 0.3) remained constant over the period prior to fasting for the maintenance animals but were significantly lower (P < 0.05) after 4 weeks for the restricted goats (BW, 26.3 +/- 2.1 to 21.5 +/- 2.4 kg; gBMI, 8.4 +/- 0.9 to 6.9 +/- 0.7). There was no significant difference in the LH pulse frequency between feeding and fasting day in both sampling periods in the maintenance group. In the restricted group, LH pulse frequency was not suppressed by fasting in the first sampling period (6.8 +/- 2.9 to 5.2 +/- 2.5 pulses/6 h), whereas it tended to be suppressed (4.8 +/- 3.1 to 1.6 +/- 2.3 pulses/6 h; P < 0.06) and was significantly (P < 0.05) correlated to body weight (r = 0.70) and gBMI (r = 0.81) after the dietary manipulation. These results suggest that the suppressive effect of short-term energy restriction (fasting) on pulsatile LH secretion is related to body energy status. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Hair loss is a problem in modern soceity. Examining the factors of hair growth may shed light on how hair loss might occur. How long can hair grow before it stops growing eventually if it does? Given that the hair growth rate is quite uniform and constant, somewhere between 0.3-0.5 millimeters per day, it's believed that the length of anagen, the growth phase, differs among individuals, and this is the major determinant to the maximum hair length. For some individuals, anagen may last ten years. Of course the length of the anagen is governed by genes, and the genetic background of the individuals. Non-genetic factors such as nutritional condition, weather, seasonal changes (hair may grow a bit faster during winter), taking medications, health condition may of course influence the rate of hair growth as well as hair loss. The shape of the hair, straight or curly, is dependent on the shape of the follicle. A circular or round hair follicle would generate straight hair, while the follicle with oval or elliptical shapes (in its cross-section) would produce a curly hair.

DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
