Primary cortisol resistance: A familial syndrome and an animal model
(1983-07-01)Primary cortisol resistance in man is a familial disease. It is characterized by increased plasma cortisol concentrations, high urinary free cortisol excretion, a normal circadian pattern of cortisol secretion, resistance ... -
Uterine estrogen and progesterone receptors in an estrogen- and progesterone-“Resistant” primate
(1984-01-01)The squirrel monkey, a New World primate, has elevated plasma estradiol and progesterone concentrations compared to those in the cynomolgus macaque, an Old World primate. We previously reported that uterine progesterone ... -
The muscarinic cholinergic agonist arecoline stimulates the rat hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis through a centrally-mediated corticotropin-releasing hormone-dependent mechanism
(1989-01-01)Several lines of experimental evidence suggest that acetylcholine and other cholinergic agonists are excitatory to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. To examine the site on the HPA axis that is stimulated by ... -
Recovery of the rat hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis after discontinuation of prolonged treatment with the synthetic glucocorticoid agonist dexamethasone
(1990-01-01)To evaluate the recovery of the hypothalamicpituitary- adrenal (HPA) axis after discontinuation of prolonged exposure to glucocorticoids, we employed adult male Sprague- Dawley rats which were implanted sc with osmotic ... -
Interactions between tumor necrosis factor-α, hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone, and adrenocorticotropin secretion in the rat
(1990-01-01)We studied the effects of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), a macrophage-derived pleiotropic cytokine produced during the inflammatory/immune response, on the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis of the ... -
‘Peripheral’ Benzodiazepine Receptor Ligands Stimulate Prolactin Release in the Rat
(1990-01-01)High concentrations of ‘peripheral’ benzodiazepine binding sites have been described in the pituitary gland and in several other endocrine glands, such as the adrenal glands and the testes. The role played by these receptors ... -
Effects of peripheral benzodiazepine receptor ligands on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function in the rat
(1990-01-01)High concentrations of the 'peripheral' benzodiazepine (pBZD) binding site ('receptor') have been described in the hypothalamus, the pituitary and the adrenal glands. This study was undertaken to examine the effects of ... -
Glucocorticoids inhibit estradiol-mediated uterine growth: Possible role of the uterine estradiol receptor
(1990-01-01)Stress-related activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is associated with suppression of the reproductive axis. This effect has been explained by findings indicating that corticotropin-releasing hormone ... -
“Environmental stress” and reproductive success in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus jacchus)
(1991-01-01)The present report documents the breeding success of a new colony of common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus jacchus) and demonstrates a correlation between environmental stress and reproductive success. Environmental conditions ... -
Effects of short and long duration hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on the plasma adrenocorticotropin and corticosterone responses to ovine corticotropin- releasing hormone in rats
(1991-05-01)We report here a study of the plasma ACTH and corticosterone responses to synthetic ovine CRH (oCRH) in hypothyroid and hyperthyroid rats studied 7, 15, and 60 days after either thyroidectomy or the administration of ... -
Cholecystokinin-octapeptide stimulates hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal function in rats: Role of corticotropin-releasing hormone
(1992-01-01)Peripherally-administered cholecystokinin (CCK) is a profound suppressor of food intake, can promote anxiety, and causes the acute release of ACTH into plasma. Centrally administered corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), ... -
Auditory-evoked brainstem responses in the hibernating woodchuck Marmota monax
(1992-01-01)1. 1. This study measured the changes in the auditory-evoked brainstem responses in the woodchuck (Marmota monax) during hibernation and arousal. 2. 2. The auditory brainstem response of the euthermic woodchuck consisted ... -
Mechanisms of stress: A dynamic overview of hormonal and behavioral homeostasis
(1992-01-01)Environmental events, both physical and emotional, can produce stress reactions to widely varying degrees. Stress can affect many aspects of physiology, and levels of stress, emotional status, and means of coping with ... -

Brief Communication Binaural Interaction in the Auditory Brainstem Response: Multichannel Recordings
(1993-01-01)Binaural interaction in the auditory brainstem response: Multichannel recordings. Thodi, C. and Katbamna, B. (Department of Speech and Hearing, Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH 44115, USA). Scand Audiol 1993; 22: ... -
Heating unsaturated fatty acids in air produces hemagglutinins
(1994-05-13)When mono-unsaturated fatty acids are heated in air, they form hemagglutinins. When the double bond is Δ-6,7 or Δ-9,10, the titer is higher than for Δ-11,12. Stearic acid does not become a hemagglutinin on heating. ... -
Fluoridated drinking water and maturation of permanent teeth at age 12.
(1995)Dental age was evaluated in 88 children aged 12 years + 6 months in both areas of Boston with fluoridated drinking water and nonfluoridated areas surrounding Athens, Greece. Fluoridation of drinking water in the Boston ... -
Increased serum interleukin‐1bT during treatment of zhyperthyroidism with antithyroid drugs
(1995-01-01)Serum interleukin‐1bT (IL‐1bT) and soluble interleukin‐2 receptor (sIL‐2R) levels were examined in patients with hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease (GD) and toxic nodular goitre (TNG) before and during antithyroid drug ... -
The nuclear torus in the active galaxy NGC 1068
(1996-01-01)We present near-infrared polarized images of the active galaxy NGC 1068. At these wavelengths, the counter-cone is observed in scattered light. At H (1.64 μm) we detect an absorption band across the counter-cone, which we ... -
