TL;DR: A monoclonal antibody against the rat liver glucocorticoid receptor was used in combination with rabbit antibodies against tyrosine hydroxylase, phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, and 5-hydroxytryptaminergic cell bodies to demonstrate strong glucocortex receptor immunoreactivity in large numbers of central monoaminergic nerve cell bodies of the male rat.

TL;DR: The steroid hormone receptor proteins, in particular the glucocorticoid receptor, and their role in gene regulation represent the best characterized eukaryotic gene regulating systems today, with major recent advances in knowledge of structure and function of both the protein and DNA components involved.

TL;DR: Results show that glucocorticoids directly inhibit insulin release in vivo and identify the pancreatic beta cell as an important target for the diabetogenic action of glucoc Corticoids.

TL;DR: Confocal and electron microscopic analysis suggested that a large portion of aFGF immunoreactivity was associated with the cytoplasmic face of neuronal membranes, consistent with the hypothesis that aF GF is a sequestered growth factor.

TL;DR: The results give further evidence for the existence of a selective population of estrogen receptor containing neurons in the female and male brain of adult animals and that the estrogen free receptor is associated with the nucleus.
