Endocrine pituitary cells are neuronlike; they express numerous voltage-gated sodium,
calcium, potassium, and chloride channels and fire action potentials spontaneously …

Often referred to as “the master gland”, the pituitary is a key organ controlling growth,
maturation, and homeostasis in vertebrates. The anterior pituitary, which contains several …

Accumulating evidence obtained over the last three decades has revealed a
neuroendocrine system in the brain that mediates long term increases in blood pressure …

Kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R) signaling plays a critical role in the regulation of reproduction.
We investigated the role of kisspeptin-stimulated KISS1R internalization, recycling, and …

Aims/hypothesis This study aimed to identify the expression of angiotensin II receptors in
isolated human islets and beta cells and to examine the functional consequences of their …

Our two already established on‐line 2‐D LC systems, a strong cation exchange‐RP
chromatography (SCX‐RP) system and a hydrophilic interaction LC (HILIC)‐RP 2‐D LC …

In nonneuronal tissues, activation of oxytocin receptors (OTRs), like other Gαq/11 type G-
protein-coupled receptors (Gαq/11/GPCRs), increase prostaglandin (PG) expression. This is …

Systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration induces an innate immune response and
stimulates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. We studied Angiotensin II AT1 receptor …

It is well established that the area postrema, as a circumventricular organ, is susceptible to
modulation by circulating hormones and peptides. Furthermore, activation of the area …

This study investigated the effects of two NO-releasing agents, diethylenetriamine-NO (deta-
NO) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP), on basal, ACTH-, and angiotensin II (AngII)-stimulated …
