Changes in (3H)leucine incorporation into pineal proteins following estradiol or testosterone administration: involvement of the sympathetic superior cervical ganglion.

abstract：:cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity was present in a soluble TSH receptor fraction. The Km of this enzyme was 2.2 X 10(-6) M for casein substrate in the absence or presence of 10(-5) M cAMP. A [3H]cAMP-binding protein was also found in this fraction. The Ka for [3H]cAMP-binding was 0.11 X 10(6) M-1, with a total bi...

abstract：:Ghrelin was recently identified as an endogenous ligand of the GH secretagogue receptor. The novel peptide hormone is produced by gastric A-like cells, and circulating levels rise before feeding, suggestive of ghrelin as an endogenous hunger factor. ghrelin stimulates food intake and promotes adiposity after periphera...
