More TORC for the gluconeogenic engine
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-03)
Hepatic gluconeogenesis plays a key role in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. The hormone glucagon stimulates this process, whereas insulin and adiponectin are inhibitory. In a recent report, Koo et al identify the ...
Amylin increases cyclic AMP formation in L6 myocytes through calcitonin gene-related peptide receptors
(Elsevier, 1991-06-14)
The cellular function of amylin is investigated in L6 myocytes, a rat skeletal muscle cell line. Both rat amylin and human amylin-amide acutely cause a dose-dependent increase in cyclic AMP formation in L6 myocytes. 100 ...
Effects of calyculin A on amylase release in streptolysin-O permeabilized acinar cells
(Elsevier, 1992-12-30)
The effects of the phosphatase inhibitors calyculin A and okadaic acid on amylase release from streptolysin-O permeabilized rat pancreatic acini were investigated. Both agents induced similar biphasic effects with moderate ...
Localization of the murine cholecystokinin A and B receptor genes
(Springer-Verlag, 1995-04)
We have determined the chromosomal locations of the two cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor genes in the mouse. Genetic localization utilized an interspecific backcross panel formed from the cross (C57BL/6J x Mus spretus ) F 1 ...
Photoperiodic requirements for timing onset and duration of the breeding season of the ewe: Synchronization of an endogenous rhythm of reproduction
(Springer-Verlag, 1990-04)
A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that different portions of the annual photoperiodic cycle play different roles in timing the breeding season of the ewe, Ovis aries , an animal in which an endogenous rhythm ...
The human ZBP-89 homolog, located at Chromosome 3q21, represses gastrin gene expression
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1998-02)
Growth hormone directly alters glucose utilization in 3T3 adipocytes
(Elsevier, 1984-11-30)
Summary3T3-F442A adipocytes incubated in the presence of growth hormone (GH) showed a transient stimulation of the incorporation of [14C] glucose into cellular lipids, or production of 14CO2 in the first 4 hr. By 48 hr, a ...
MyoD and myogenin protein expression in skeletal muscles of senile rats
(Springer-Verlag, 2003-03)
We analyzed the level of protein expression of two myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), MyoD and myogenin, in senile skeletal muscles and determined the cellular source of their production in young adult (4 months old), old ...
Retrotransposons and the evolution of mammalian gene expression
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-01)
Transposable elements, and retroviral-like elements in particular, are a rich potential source of genetic variation within a host's genome. Many mutations of endogenous genes in phylogenetically diverse organisms are due ...
