The kidneys are responsible for iodine and of thyroid hormone biodegradation. The aim of this study was the histomorphological and immunohistochemical evaluation of the influence of sex on parafollicular thyroid C cells in rats with chronic renal failure. The experiment included 40 Wistar rats after subtotal nephrectomy, after sham operation, and without any surgical procedure. Two weeks after nephrectomy, fragments of thyroids were collected from the examined animals. Paraffin sections were stained with H+E and by silver impregnation. Calcitonin (CT), synaptophysin (SPh), somatostatin (ST), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were detected immunohistochemically in C cells. In rats with experimental uremia, immunostaining for the examined substances increased significantly in comparison to the controls. We also observed higher number of C cells with a stronger reaction in the group of males, compared to the female rats.

The effect of chronic (12 months) oral cadmium (Cd) administration (5 or 50 mg Cd/dm3) to rats on the structure and function of the thyroid was evaluated. Paraffin thyroid and parathyroid sections were stained with H+E and immunocytochemically for calcitonin (CT), somatostatin (ST), synaptophysin (SPh), chromogranin A (CgA) and thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1). Serum levels of thyroid hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4) as well as levels of Cd in the blood and calcium (Ca) in the serum were estimated. CT, ST and SPh were detected in C cells of the thyroid, while CgA in both thyroid and parathyroid cells. In animals exposed to Cd, proliferation of CT- and SPh-positive thyroid C cells was observed, ST being found only in very few C cells--both in control animals and in those exposed to Cd. Serum T3 concentration was not affected by Cd, while T4 was reduced but only at the exposure to the higher Cd concentration. Moreover, the rats exposed to Cd showed a decrease in serum Ca concentration.

PTHrP and cytokeratins in human epidermis.
Seidel J, Zabel M, Kasprzak A.

We have demonstrated the presence of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) in cells of human epidermis, employing immunocytochemical techniques. Cells of human epidermal layers demonstrated variable intensity of the reaction. The least pronounced reaction was detected in cells of the basal and the most pronounced reaction in cells of the granular layer. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated that gold particles labeled bundles of keratin filaments. Therefore, at the subsequent stage of the studies we examined the type of filaments to which PTHrP was bound, using immunocytochemical reactions with antibodies against cytokeratins 10, 14, 16 and 19. Positive reaction was obtained for cytokeratins 10, 14 and 16. The reaction pattern obtained for cytokeratins 10 and 16 most closely resembled that of PTHrP. Double labeling with colloidal gold was performed at the ultrastructural level. The results obtained in this way demonstrated that PTHrP most probably binds to filaments built of cytokeratin 16. By binding to the cytokeratin, PTHrP may possibly affect growth and differentiation of keratinocytes.

Pituitary-adrenal and pituitary-thyroid hormone responses during exercise-cold exposure after 7 days of exhaustive exercise.

BACKGROUND: After several days of exhaustive exercise in mild-warm environments, cutaneous vasoconstrictor responses to cold exposure are less effective in conserving body heat than in the rested condition. Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axes hormones could mediate this response since they may affect vasoconstriction. The effects of exertional fatigue on pituitary-adrenal hormones and thyroid hormone responses to exercise-cold stress are unknown. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that 7 consecutive days of exercise would decrease adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol, while elevating thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4) and that these hormones would be related to a blunted vasoconstrictor response to cold. METHODS: Nine male volunteers walked, completely wetted, for up to 6 h in 5 degrees C air, when rested (day 0, control) and after 7 consecutive days (day 7) of exhaustive exercise (4 h each day of mixed aerobic and anaerobic activities in thermoneutral conditions). Blood was sampled on day 0 and day 7 at baseline (0700 hours), and before and immediately after cold exposure. RESULTS: At 0700 hours, ACTH and cortisol were elevated (p < 0.05) after 7 d of exercise, compared with control conditions. Following exercise-cold exposure, cortisol, T3, and T4 increased (p < 0.05) similarly on both day 0 and day 7. ACTH and TSH did not increase as a result of exercise-cold exposure on either day. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that 7 d of exercise elevates basal (0700 hours) pituitary-adrenal stress hormones (ACTH, cortisol). However, 7 d of exercise did not modify adrenal or thyroid hormone responses, relative to the day 0 cold exposure, suggesting that they are not responsible for the blunted vasoconstriction during exercise-cold exposure following 7 consecutive days of exercise.

SEM examination of the dorsal lingual papillae of pregnant rats.

To our knowledge there are no histomorphological studies examining the lingual papillae in pregnancy. Therefore, this present study was planned. The purpose of this study was to clarify different physiological results and to investigate whether there are any changes on the dorsal surface of the rat tongue during pregnancy. On days 7 and 14 of pregnancy, superficial epithelial configurations of the lingual papillae (circumvallate, fungiform, filiform) in pregnant rats were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that there were some differences in topographic configurations of these papillae in pregnant rats compared with controls. The obtained changes by SEM may reflect something which occurs in the lingual papillae during pregnancy in rat. There may be a correlation between the alterations of some hormone levels in pregnancy and some morphological changes of the lingual papillae.

Loss of hair changes the appearance of a person, and the identity of the person in social context to a certain extent.
Hair growth is a complex biological process, which has not yet been completely understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.
Hair Million is an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Albeit only anecdotally, it has demonstrated efficacy in
the improvement for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people who take it
as recommended. We do not know the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. We only know by
anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis.
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.
