Cysteamine induces depletion of both immunological and biological prolactin activity in the anterior pituitary and blood of the rat.

abstract：:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 (PGC-1), a cold-induced protein expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT), plays a role in adaptive thermogenesis by up-regulating uncoupling proteins (UCP). Here, we explore its relationship to the thermogenic actions of leptin, which also up-regulates UCPs...

abstract：:Progesterone modulates estrogen-stimulated responses in the uterus. Calbindin-D 9k (CaBP9k), a 17 beta-estradiol-responsive gene expressed in the uterus, was used as a marker to examine the interactions between endogenous progesterone and estradiol in the rat. The variations in uterine CaBP9k messenger RNAs (mRNAs) du...
