Exocrine Gland Dysfunction in MC5-R-Deficient Mice: Evidence for Coordinated Regulation of Exocrine Gland Function by Melanocortin Peptides
TL;DR: Data show a requirement for the MC5-R in multiple exocrine glands for the production of numerous products, indicative of a coordinated system for regulation of exocrine gland function by melanocortin peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase in lipid metabolism
Makoto Miyazaki,James M. Ntambi +1 more
TL;DR: The current understanding of the physiological role of SCD in lipid synthesis and metabolism is discussed, including its role in cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, neurological disease, skin disorders and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Androgens in Female Vertebrates
Nancy L. Staub,M De Beer +1 more
TL;DR: The functional significance of androgens in females is examined by reviewing studies that document relatively high levels of circulating plasma androgens, androgen receptors, or androgen-metabolizing enzymes in females to hypothesize that androgens play a significant role in normal female development.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mammary Gland and Its Origin During Synapsid Evolution
TL;DR: The mammary gland apparently derives from an ancestral apocrine-like gland that was associated with hair follicles, which is retained by monotreme mammary glands and is evident as vestigial mammary hair during early ontogenetic development of marsupials.

Infectious bronchitis virus: Immunopathogenesis of infection in the chicken
G. D. Raj,R. C. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: The humoral, local and cellular responses of the chicken to IBV are reviewed, together with genetic resistance of theChicken, and changes in the S1 protein may be related to differences in tissue tropisms shown by different strains.

Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of N-acetylserotonin and melatonin activities in the pineal gland, retina, harderian gland, brain and serum of rats and chickens.
TL;DR: An N-acetylserotonin/melatonin radioimmunoassay (NAS/Mel RIA) and a Mel RIA were developed to measure NAS and Mel contents in tissues of rats and chickens and Mel levels in chicken serum were determined using these RIAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mammalian Harderian Gland: Morphology, Biochemistry, Function and Phylogeny
TL;DR: It is proposed that the Harderian glands are those ocular glands that have tubuloalveolar endpieces with wide lumina and secrete lipid by a merocrine mechanism and originated from the lacrimal gland of ancestral mammals from which all marsupials and eutherias have descended.

Differential localization of N-acetylated indolealkylamines in CNS and the Harderian gland using immunohistology
TL;DR: Using two different antisera, one binding only melatonin (M) and the other binding both M and N-acetylserotonin (NAS), brain tissue and the Harderian gland were investigated and M was found in the granule layer of the cerebellum, spinal tract of the trigeminal roots and the pontal and spinal reticular formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of some endocrine glands, hormones and blinding on the histology and porphyrins of the Harderian glands of golden hamsters
TL;DR: Glands from both male and female animals showed abundant cytoplasmic lipids and pigment formation appeared to be endogenous and in some cases occurred by extrusion of cells from alveolar walls and their subsequent transformation.
