Comparison of somatomedin activity in perfusates of normal and hypophysectomized rat livers with and without added growth hormone.

abstract：:Mast cells are involved in atopic disorders, often exacerbated by stress, and are located perivascularly close to sympathetic and sensory nerve endings. Mast cells are activated by electrical nerve stimulation and millimolar concentrations of neuropeptides, such as substance P (SP). Moreover, acute psychological stres...
