The subcellular distribution of steroidogenic enzymes has so far been studied mostly in
classical endocrine glands and in the placenta. In the peripheral intracrine organs which …

The anterior pituitary gland has the ability to respond to complex signals derived from central
and peripheral systems. Perception of these signals and their integration are mediated by …

Thyroid hormones (TH; T3 and T4) play a fundamental role in the fetal stage to the adult
phase, controlling gene and protein expression in virtually all tissues. The endocrine and …

Abstract Nitrate (NO 3−), a potential toxic nitrogenous compound to aquatic animals, is
distributed in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

Ovarian cancer is a highly metastatic disease. The metastatic potential is enhanced by
epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in which αvβ3 integrin plays a role. Thyroid …

Background: Glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) is highly expressed in muscle and fat tissue,
where triiodothyronine (T3) induces solute carrier family 2 facilitated glucose transporter …

Thyroid hormones (THs) classically regulate the gene expression by transcriptional
mechanisms. In pituitary, the encoding genes for growth hormone (GH) and thyroid …

Context: Iodide transport defect (ITD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by
impaired Na+/I− symporter (NIS)-mediated active iodide accumulation into thyroid follicular …

Background: The secretion of pituitary hormones oscillates throughout the 24-hour period,
indicating that circadian clock-mediated mechanisms regulate this process in the gland …

Background: Studies in men are not consistent regarding the effects of thyroid hormone on
the production of gonadotropins. In hypothyroidism consequent to diverse causes, an …
