Comparative Assessment of Female Mouse Model of Graves' Orbitopathy Under Different Environments, Accompanied by Proinflammatory Cytokine and T-Cell Responses to Thyrotropin Hormone Receptor Antigen.

abstract：:Mice with the recessively inherited obese-hyperglycemic syndrome (ob/ob) and their nonobese litter mates were studied over a 26-week period. The body weights and serum glucose levels of ob/ob mice began to rise markedly at 5-6 weeks of age and remained elevated throughout the period of study. Obese mice were significa...

abstract：:We have previously shown that in reaggregate cell cultures of 14-day-old female rat pituitary, LHRH is capable of stimulating lactotrophs to enter the S-phase of the cell cycle, and that this effect is mediated by paracrine growth factors secreted from gonadotrophs. In the present report we describe the isolation, pur...
