We previously reported a strain-related difference in basal 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-isomerase (3 beta HSD) activity in response to testosterone in cultured Leydig cells. The data suggested that the response to testosterone was androgen…

We have isolated and sequenced a cDNA clone corresponding to human liver cytochrome b5 mRNA. The 760 base pair (bp) sequence contains the complete coding and 3' non-translated regions plus 52 bp of 5' non-translated sequence. The derived amino acid…

RNA extracted from rabbit leukocytes and reticulocytes was reverse transcribed and used in the Polymerase Chain Reaction technique along with primers designed to amplify the coding sequence of rabbit cytochrome b5. The resultant amplified products…

Using a synthetic 26 base pair (bp) oligonucleotide, we have screened a rabbit liver cDNA library in lambda gt11 and isolated a 1000 bp DNA clone corresponding to cytochrome b5 mRNA. The clone contains the complete coding region and long 5' and 3'…

In order to investigate whether the impaired GH secretion associated with obesity is due to a pituitary disorder we studied GH mRNA levels by in situ hybridization in genetically obese and lean Zucker rats. The levels of GH mRNA were at least two…

The secretion of growth hormone (GH) is abnormal in genetically obese Zucker rats. Measurements of pulsatile GH release and circulating GH levels in lean (Fa/?) and obese (fa/fa) rats have shown that both are reduced in the latter. We have studied…

The secretion of growth hormone (GH) is impaired in the genetically obese Zucker rat where GH gene expression and plasma GH levels are depressed; however, the underlying mechanism of this abnormality remains unclear. We have evaluated the potential…

In this report female and male CD-1 mice were treated with a neurotoxic regimen of methamphetamine (MA) to compare gender differences in striatal dopamine depletion and concordant changes in mRNA markers of the transforming growth factor-beta injury…

BACKGROUND: The reactive form of spondyloarthropathy appears inducible by exposure to agents of infectious diarrhea, but do those organisms represent the tip of the iceberg, as indicated by renewed interest in gastrointestinal flora? Prevalence of…

Gene expression of osteopontin (OPN) has been investigated in mice by application of laser capture microdissection (LCM) and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. LCM permits individual cells to be isolated ("captured")…
