polypeptide hormones

There are digestive juices that produce polypeptide hormones in the blood.

If polypeptide hormones bring about the production of digestive juices, the compliment is, in a way, returned.

In: Polypeptide Hormones, molecular and cellular aspects.

Both lobes produce polypeptide hormones.

Despite low serotonin content, they often secrete 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), histamine, and several polypeptide hormones.

As well as arousal from sleep and the complex effects of food and polypeptide hormones, neurotransmitters have been shown to affect colonic motility.

The small fragments are polypeptide hormones capable of stimulating the contraction of smooth muscle under some conditions and its relaxation under other conditions.

The polyprotein pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) contains many polypeptide hormones.

In 1967, he opened a laboratory on polypeptide hormones at the Clinical Research Institute of Montreal (CRIM) where would remain until 1999.

The cleavage pattern of POMC however may vary between different tissues, yielding different sets of polypeptide hormones from the same polyprotein.

Some proteins and most eukaryotic polypeptide hormones are synthesized as a large precursor polypeptide known as polyprotein that require proteolytic cleavage into individual smaller polypeptide chains.

Experiments on the effects of various gastrointestinal polypeptide hormones and drugs on colonic motility have sought further clarification of normal motility patterns or effective treatments for motility disorders.

All at once gene therapy has burst upon the scene as a potential new treatment for genetic disorders, multifactorial conditions, and even for the provision of polypeptide hormones or enzymes to treat acquired disease.

Some polypeptide hormones, antimicrobial peptides, and neurotoxins accumulate at the membrane surface prior to locating and interacting with their cell surface receptor targets, which may themselves be peripheral membrane proteins.

Secretin and other hormones of similar nature are built up of amino acid chains containing more than a dozen and less than a hundred amino acids and are therefore sometimes called polypeptide hormones rather than protein hormones.

Although there are many kinds of NETs, they are treated as a group of tissue because the cells of these neoplasms share common features, such as looking similar, having special secretory granules, and often producing biogenic amines and polypeptide hormones.

MORE POLYPEPTIDE HORMONES I have been concentrating on secretin, so far, to a much greater extent than is strictly necessary for its own sake, because secretin is a minor hormone, as hormones go.

It is a good fixative for connective tissue, preserves glycogen well, and extracts lipids to give superior results to formaldehyde in immunostaining of biogenic and polypeptide hormones However, it causes a loss of basophilia unless the specimen is thoroughly washed following fixation.
