Studies on prolactin. Selective reduction of the disulfide bonds of the ovine hormone.
Doneen BA, Bewley TA, Li CH.
Methods for selective reduction of the disulfide bonds in ovine prolactin are reported. Cleavage of all three disulfide bonds abolishes biological activity and denatures the hormone. Reduction-carbamidomethylation of one or two of the disulfide bridges does not diminish the biological activities in the pigeon crop-sac and mouse mammary gland bioassays. When compared to the native hormone, monomers of these two partially reduced-carbamidomethylated derivatives also show only modest changes in properties measured by exclusion chromatography, circular dichroism, and immunological cross-reactivities. However, cleavage of cystine-4--11 and cystine-191--199, followed by carbamidomethylation, destroys the biological activity of this derivative in a teleost fish bioassay (Gillichthys urinary bladder). In contrast, reduction of cystine-4--11 actually increased the teleost potency of this derivative compared to the intact hormone. Since teleost prolactin appears to lack a homologue to the cystine-4--11 disulfide bond in the amino-terminal loop of the ovine hormone, selective reduction of this bond in ovine prolactin may produce a derivative whose properties more closely resemble the fish hormone.

Regulation of intestinal calcium-binding protein in rats: role of parathyroid hormone.
Thomasset M, Cuisinier-Gleizes P, Mathieu H, Golub EE, Bronner F.
Intestinal calcium-binding protein (CaBP) levels of rats fed a high (1.5%) Ca diet were the same whether the animals were parathyroidectomized (PTX), sham-operated controls pair-fed with the PTX animals, or sham-operated controls fed ad libitum. Consequently, a given base level of CaBP seems to be parathyroid hormone independent and not closely related to feed intake. On the other hand, whereas the ad libitum fed controls more than doubled their intestinal CaBP in response to a 2-day low-calcium (0.02%) regimen, neither the parathyroidectomized animals nor the pair-fed sham-operated controls were able to do so. Since the latter two groups consumed less feed and therefore less vitamin D than the ad libitum fed animals, the inability to increase CaBP in response to a low-calcium diet may have been caused by a restricted vitamin D intake rather than by the absence of parathyroid hormone.

Regulation of calcium transport in isolated periosteal cells, effects of hormones and metabolic inhibitors.
Nijweide PJ, van der Plas A.
Calcium transport was studied in cells isolated from cultured periostea of 18-day-old chick embryos. Net calcium uptake was stimulated by iodoacetate (IAA) and inhibited by dinitrophenol (DNP). Calcium efflux from the intracellular compartment was inhibited by IAA. Changes in the extra- or intracellular sodium concentration had only minor effects on calcium transport. This indicates that calcium efflux from periosteal cells is probably directly dependent on ATP hydrolysis, whereas calcium-sodium exchange is of less importance. The cation ionophore A23187 stimulated calcium uptake during short incubations but was inhibitory in long incubations. The possible involvement of the mitochondria in this effect is discussed. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin (CT) stimulated the net uptake of calcium in relatively low doses (both 0.01 U/ml or higher). The effects of the hormones on net calcium uptake were not additive. Calcium efflux was not changed in the presence of PTH or CT.

Treatment of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) with intravaginal rings impregnated with either progesterone or norethisterone.
Wadsworth PF, Heywood R, Allen DG, Hossack DJ, Sortwell RJ, Walton RM.
The effects of both progesterone- and norethisterone-loaded intravaginal rings were investigated in twenty-five rhesus monkeys for 52 weeks. The intravaginal rings were designed to provide a sustained release of either the human dosage level of the hormone or ten times this level. Untreated placebo rings were used for control purposes. The devices were well retained. With the exception of increased plasma fibrinogen levels in animals treated with norethisterone, no marked differences in either local or systemic toxicity between the progesterone and norethisterone intravaginal rings were apparent. Following insertion of the hormone-treated intravaginal rings, a dose-related decrease in vaginal bleeding was recorded. The vaginal microbial flora were assessed qualitatively and semiquantitatively and all groups including the placebo controls showed a changes in mcirobial populations. Terminal studies indicated that at high dose levels, ovulation was suppressed and widespread atrophy of the uterine mucosal and glandular endometrial epithelium had occurred. An increase in cervical mucus was observed within the lumen of the endocervical canal in a proportion of hormone-treated animals. In the vagina, a dose-related focal or diffuse atrophy of the mucosal epithelium was found.

Hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and transient hypoparathyroidism during therapy with potassium phosphate in diabetic ketoacidosis.
Zipf WB, Bacon GE, Spencer ML, Kelch RP, Hopwood NJ, Hawker CD.
The effects of intravenous administration of potassium phosphate in the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis were studied in nine children, ages 9 9/12 to 17 10/12 yr. During phosphate infusion (20--40 meq/L of fluid), all children maintained normal serum concentrations of phosphorus. Transient hypocalcemia occurred in six and transient hypomagnesemia in five patients. One child developed carpopedal spasms refractory to intravenous infusion of calcium gluconate but responsive to intramuscular injection of magnesium sulfate. In three patients, serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone were low at the time of hypocalcemia, an observation that suggests transient hypoparathyroidism. This study indicates that the use of potassium phosphate as the sole source of potassium replacement might potentiate ketoacidosis-induced hypocalcemia through multiple mechanisms.

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.
