Leptin regulates growth hormone-releasing factor, somatostatin, and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone but not neuropeptide Y release in rat hypothalamus in vivo: relation with growth hormone secretion.

It is known that leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, exerts a stimulatory effect on growth hormone (GH) secretion in various animal species. However, no previous study examined in vivo whether leptin affects the secretion of GH-releasing factor (GRF), somatostatin (SRIH), and some other closely relevant neurohormones in the hypothalamus. Therefore, in this study we investigated the effects of direct leptin infusion into the hypothalamus on the in vivo release of GRF, SRIH, alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in freely moving adult male rats using the push-pull perfusion. Leptin was infused into the median eminence-arcuate nucleus complex at three different concentrations, i.e., 1.0 (normal feeding level), 3.0, and 10 ng/ml (mild obesity level). In normally fed rats, only 10 ng/ml leptin was able to stimulate GH secretion, whereas in 3 d fasted rats, GH release was dose-dependently stimulated by 1.0 and 3.0 ng/ml leptin, although its 10 ng/ml dose did not produce additional effects. The facilitation of GH secretion occurred as increased pulse amplitudes without significant changes in the pulse frequency. During the leptin infusion, the hypothalamic GRF increased and SRIH decreased in magnitudes that approximately paralleled those of GH changes. Leptin stimulated the release of alpha-MSH in the fasted but not fed rats. It is likely that the fasting-induced increase in the hypothalamic alpha-MSH sensitivity to leptin is relevant to ingestive behavior involving leptin. Leptin was without effect on NPY release in either the fed or fasted group. Although it is certain that NPY mediates at least part of the metabolic actions of leptin, NPY is unlikely to be involved in the acute effects of leptin on GH, GRF, and SRIH secretion. These results demonstrate for the first time that leptin can alter the in vivo release of both GRF and SRIH in rat hypothalamus concurrently with the stimulation of GH secretion.

Interactions between heterotypic stressors and corticosterone reveal integrative mechanisms for controlling corticotropin-releasing hormone gene expression in the rat paraventricular nucleus.

Although the convergence of neural and humoral afferent information onto paraventricular neuroendocrine corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons is a major determinant for adaptive stress responses, the underlying integrative mechanisms are poorly understood. To dissect the relative contributions made by neural afferents and corticosterone to these processes, we determined how the concurrent application of two heterotypic physiological stressors, chronic dehydration (produced by drinking hypertonic saline) and sustained hypovolemia (produced by subcutaneous injections of polyethylene glycol), is interpreted by the synthetic and secretory activity of CRH neurons using in situ hybridization and plasma ACTH measurements. These two stressors are encoded by relatively simple, distinct, and well defined sets of neural afferents to CRH neurons. Both increase plasma corticosterone, but they have opposing actions on CRH gene expression when applied separately. In the first experiment, we showed that chronic dehydration suppresses CRH gene transcription after hypovolemia, but not the preproenkephalin and c-fos mRNA responses or ACTH secretion. In the second, we showed that negative feedback actions of corticosterone do not suppress CRH gene activation after hypovolemia, but instead determine the prestress lower limit of a range within which the CRH gene then responds. Collectively, these data show that at least two processes are integrated to control how the CRH gene responds to multiple stimuli. First, the presence of corticosterone, which although permissive for appropriately activating the CRH gene during hypovolemia, does not mediate the suppressed gene response. Second, neural afferent-driven processes that encode dehydration play a central role in suppressing CRH activation.

The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in sex hormone level in men after ejaculation. The serum testosterone concentrations of 28 male volunteers were investigated daily during abstinence period after ejaculation. We found that fluctuations of testosterone levels from day 2 to day 5 of abstinence were minimal. On day 7 of abstinence, a peak of serum testosterone appeared, reaching 145.7% of the baseline (P<0.01). After the peak, no regular fluctuation was observed. Ejaculation was the premise and beginning of the 7 days' periodic phenomenon. If there was no ejaculation, there was no periodical changes in serum testosterone level. These results indicate that the periodic change in serum testosterone level is caused by ejaculation.

Signaling through estrogen receptors modulates telomerase activity in human prostate cancer.

Sex steroid hormone receptors play a central role in all stages of prostate cancer. Here, we tested whether estrogen receptor (ER) signaling contributes to telomerase activation, an early event in prostate tumorigenesis. Following 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) treatment, both mRNA encoding the catalytic subunit of human telomerase (hTERT) and telomerase activity were promptly induced in human prostate normal epithelial cells, fresh explants from benign prostate hyperplasia, and prostate cancer explants and cell lines. Reporter expression studies and in vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed E(2)-dependent hTERT promoter induction and showed that both ERalpha and ERbeta bound this sequence. Crucially, addition of the anti-estrogen 4-hydroxytamoxifen caused a differential recruitment in vivo of ERalpha and ERbeta onto the hTERT promoter and inhibited telomerase activity. Treatment with the aromatase inhibitor letrozole, which prevented testosterone-mediated interaction between ER and the hTERT estrogen response element, resulted in a negative regulation of telomerase activity. Thus, intracellular conversion of androgens to estrogens may contribute to the etiopathogenesis of prostate cancer. Given the present evidence for direct control of hTERT gene expression and telomerase activity in the prostate by the ER, we suggest that this transcriptional regulator represents a possible therapeutic target in prostate cancer.

Stress hormones enhance retrieval of fear conditioning acquired either one day or many months before.

It has been known for years that systemic administration of the stress hormones, adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH), lysine-vasopressin, adrenaline, or beta-endorphin, enhances retrieval of aversive behaviours acquired one or a few days before. Here we show that the pre-test i.p. injection of the hormones in rats can also enhance retrieval when given months after the original training. The effectiveness of the treatments changed with time. When animals were tested 3 months after training the hormones enhanced retrieval only at doses five times higher than those needed 1 day after training. Between 6 and 9 months from training the hormones either lost their effect (vasopressin, beta-endorphin) or actually inhibited retrieval (ACTH, adrenaline). The effects of the hormones cannot be explained by a decrease in locomotor activity: none of the treatments had such an effect, as measured in an open field. However, when the animals were tested between 12 and 19 months after training, the hormones once again became as effective as they had been 1 day after training. This was so in spite of the fact that control retention levels became very low with age, probably as a result of extinction. The oscillation of the sensitivity of retrieval to the hormones does not appear to depend on changes in anxiety levels with ageing or to effects of the hormones on locomotor activity. 2002 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Due to the complexity , the biological process of hair growth is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, several therapeutic methods including prescription medications, transplant surgery, nutritional suppelements, and even snake oils have been in use to help those who attempt to restore their hair. None of these approaches are perfect due to the heterogeneity in the causes that underlie hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these chemical drugs and hair transplantation operations are accompanied by undesirable side effects.

Hair Million of Dream Pharm provides an alternative approach to hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on the authentic Chinese herbs from Chinese Pharmacopoeia actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it as suggested. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal demonstration. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted due to the high cost of such trials. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized doesn't mean we should stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb that we have been taking generation after generation. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive compared with other methods, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.
