Holstein bull calves were used to examine the effect of dry feed on water balance and fecal moisture content during the suckling period. In Experiment 1 (n = 20 calves), free access to concentrate and timothy hay decreased urine volume and increased apparent water retention, fecal water excretion, and fecal moisture content by 2 wk, although daily amounts of milk replacer also affected water balance when DMI from dry feed was low. In Experiment 2 (n = 20 calves), free access to concentrate and hay from wk 1 increased reabsorption of water from renal tubules during wk 2, resulting in reduced urine volume and increased plasma volume. In Experiment 3 (n = 10 calves), supplementation of 500 g/d of milk replacer plus free access to concentrate and hay from wk 1 increased plasma antidiuretic hormone by 2 wk compared with the concentration in calves receiving 200 g/d of milk replacer alone. Plasma antidiuretic hormone concentrations were highly correlated with plasma concentrations of acetate and ketone bodies but not with glucose and urea. In Experiment 4 (n = 16 calves), apparent water retention and fecal moisture content during wk 2 were increased by free access to concentrate from wk 1 but were not affected by rice straw as an inert bulk source.

GABA- and glutamate-activated channels in green fluorescent protein-tagged gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in transgenic mice.

Mice were generated expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) promoter. Green fluorescence was observed in, and restricted to, GnRH-immunopositive neuronal somata in the olfactory bulb, ganglion terminale, septal nuclei, diagonal band of Broca (DBB), preoptic area (POA), and caudal hypothalamus, as well as GnRH neuronal dendrites and axons, including axon terminals in the median eminence and organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT). Whole-cell recordings from GFP-expressing GnRH neurons in the OVLT-POA-DBB region revealed a firing pattern among GFP-expressing GnRH neurons distinct from that of nonfluorescent neurons. Nucleated patches of GFP-expressing GnRH neurons exhibited pronounced responses to fast application of GABA and smaller responses to L-glutamate and AMPA. One-fifth of the nucleated patches responded to NMDA. The GABA-A, AMPA, and NMDA receptor channels on GnRH neurons mediating these responses may play a role in the modulation of GnRH secretory oscillations.

This study is designed to clarify the role of an orphan nuclear hormone receptor, ROR alpha, on thyroid hormone (TH) receptor (TR)-mediated transcription on a TH-response element (TRE). A transient transfection study using various TREs [i.e., F2 (chick lysozyme TRE), DR4 (direct repeat), and palindrome TRE] and TR and ROR alpha1 was performed. When ROR alpha1 and TR were cotransfected into CV1 cells, ROR alpha1 enhanced the transactivation by liganded-TR on all TREs tested without an effect on basal repression by unliganded TR. By electrophoretic mobility shift assay, on the other hand, although ROR alpha bound to all TREs tested as a monomer, no (or weak) TR and ROR alpha1 heterodimer formation was observed on various TREs except when a putative ROR-response element was present. The transactivation by ROR alpha1 on a ROR-response element, which does not contain a TRE, was not enhanced by TR. The effect of ROR alpha1 on the TREs is unique, because, whereas other nuclear hormone receptors (such as vitamin D receptor) may competitively bind to TRE to exert dominant negative function, ROR alpha1 augmented TR action. These results indicate that ROR alpha1 may modify the effect of liganded TR on TH-responsive genes. Because TR and ROR alpha are coexpressed in cerebellar Purkinje cells, and perinatal hypothyroid animals and ROR alpha-disrupted animals show similar abnormalities of this cell type, cross-talk between these two receptors may play a critical role in Purkinje cell differentiation.

Growth hormone stimulates, through tyrosine kinase, ion transport and proliferation in human intestinal cells.

BACKGROUND: Growth hormone (GH) stimulates intestinal growth and differentiation and promotes water and ion absorption in the rat intestine. Epidermal growth factor has similar effects, which involve tyrosine kinase activity. The effects of growth hormone on ion transport and cell growth and the role of tyrosine kinase in these effects were examined in a human-derived intestinal cell line (Caco-2). METHODS: For transport study, electrical parameters were measured in human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers mounted in Ussing chambers. Cell growth was monitored by counting and 3H-thymidine incorporation in the presence and absence of growth hormone. The role of tyrosine kinase was investigated by using its specific inhibitor genistein. RESULTS: The addition of growth hormone induced a rapid, Cl- -dependent, decrease in short-circuit current without affecting tissue conductance, which is consistent with an anion-absorptive effect. Incubation with growth hormone increased cell count by 85% and 3H-thymidine incorporation by 64% versus the count in control specimens. The absorptive and trophic effects of growth hormone were dose-dependent, and the maximum effective concentration was identical for each effect. Genistein blocked the growth hormone effect on ion transport and cell growth. CONCLUSIONS: Growth hormone stimulates ion absorption and cell growth in human enterocytes. Both effects result from a direct growth hormone-enterocyte interaction, and both require tyrosine kinase activity. Growth hormone may have therapeutic potential in intestinal diseases characterized by epithelial atrophy and loss of water and electrolytes.

The porcine hormone-sensitive lipase gene: sequence, structure, polymorphisms and linkage mapping.
Harbitz I, Langset M, Ege AG, Hoyheim B, Davies W.
Department of Biochemistry, Physiology and Nutrition, Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, Oslo, Norway.
The porcine hormone-sensitive lipase gene and its cDNA have been isolated and sequenced. Several putative regulatory sequences have been detected in the promotor region. The deduced amino acid sequence is 85% identical to the corresponding human, mouse and rat sequence. A search for polymorphisms revealed one intronic and one exonic polymorphism, the latter resulting in a conservative amino acid substitution. Linkage mapping located the LIPE gene close to the calcium release channel (CRC) locus on chromosome 6.

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.
