Adjustment of pineal melatonin and N-acetyltransferase rhythms to change from long to short photoperiod in the Djungarian hamster Phodopus sungorus.

abstract：:These studies investigated the effect of aging on thyroid hormone regulation of beta-endorphin in rat corpus striatum and hypothalamus. In both brain areas, basal levels of beta-endorphin declined with age. In addition, age modified the response of beta-endorphin to thyroid hormone status. Hypothyroid rats aged 6 mont...

abstract：:Parturition is initiated in sheep by an increase in the activity of the fetal hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Prostaglandins, known to augment the activity of this endocrine axis, have long been proposed as involved in the initiation of paturition. We have previously demonstrated that endogenously produced ...
