The regulation of skin proliferation and differentiation in the IR null mouse: implications for skin complications of diabetes.

abstract：:Japanese quail, a species with a precocial pattern of development, were used as a model for studying the ontogeny of thyroid responses to TSH. Thiourea was administered to embryos early in incubation, and the effects were assessed by measuring thyroid 32P uptake, serum thyroid hormones, thyroid weights, and body weigh...

abstract：:5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is synthesized and secreted by thyroid parafollicular (PF) cells. As all PF granules contain 5-HT, it is released whenever PF cells secrete. Because 5-HT stimulates follicular (F) cells and can modulate their response to TSH, 5-HT has been proposed to be a paracrine PF to F cell transmitter....
