Presence of adrenocorticotropin-potentiating activity in a calcitonin preparation derived from porcine thyroid glands.

Abstract:

:A calcitonin preparation derived from porcine thyroid glands exhibited potentiating activity on the steroidogenic action not only on ACTH-(1-24) but also of ACTH-(1-18) in isolated rat adrenal cells in vitro. This activity was demonstrated in various molecular weight fractions resulting from gel filtration of the preparation. This preparation also contained minute amount of immunoreactive and biologically active ACTH.

  • Honokiol and magnolol selectively interact with GABAA receptor subtypes in vitro.

    abstract::Honokiol and magnolol have been identified as modulators of the GABAA receptors in vitro. Our previous study suggested a possible selectivity of honokiol and magnolol on GABAA receptor subtypes. This possibility was examined in the current study by 3H-muscimol and 3H-flunitrazepam binding assays on various rat brain m...
