Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of Calcium-Sensing Receptor Gene on Urinary Calcium Excretion in Stone-Forming Patients

TL;DR: Ca excretion was higher in subjects bearing haplotypes 3, whereas those bearing haplotype 2 showed a slight increase of plasma Ca concentration, and CASR gene could be a component of the complex genetic background regulating Ca excretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin-like growth factor-I: autocrine secretion by human thyroid follicular cells in primary culture.

TL;DR: Since binding studies demonstrated the presence of IGF-I receptors on human thyroid cells, IGF- I probably regulates human thyroid function through an autocrine mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane binding sites and non-genomic effects of estrogen in cultured human preosteoclastic cells

TL;DR: A non-genomic action of 17betaE2 on osteoclast precursors is suggested, as well as a rapid increase of intracellular calcium ion concentration, as measured in single cells using an image analysis system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization, regulation, and function of specific cell membrane receptors for insulin-like growth factor I on bone endothelial cells

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that IGF‐I, a growth factor that promotes the proliferation of various bone cell types, also induces growth and chemotactic responses in bone endothelium acting through the type I IGF receptor.
Journal Article

Identification, Characterization, and Biological Activity of Somatostatin Receptors in Human Neuroblastoma Cell Lines

TL;DR: High affinity binding sites for SS14, and analogues are present and biologically active in a subset of NB cells, and analysis of cell cycle distribution in aphidicolin-synchronized SSR1-positive NB cells indicated this inhibitory effect is partially mediated by a transient accumulation in G0-G1.
