Internalization of polypeptide hormones and receptor recycling

Conclusion The insulin receptor is an integral protein of the plasma membrane of the cell. It is composed of two subunits: an subunit, which binds the hormone, and a subunit which is a tyrosine specific protein kinase capable of undergoing autophosphorylation. These independent subunits are synthesized by way of a higher molecular weight single chain precursor and thus are the product of a single gene^{29, 49, 85} localized to chromosome 19^{29, 91}. Assuming that the insulin receptor is synthesized in the same fashion as other integral membrane glycoproteins, then the nucleus, the rough endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus are involved in its biosynthesis. Further, there must be some form of transport of the mature receptor subunits to the plasma membrane where they are inserted.By contrast, the endocytotic route involves coated pits, coated vesicles, large clear vesicles or endosomes, multivesicular bodies and other lysosomal forms. In addition, it is possible that some other as yet unidentified organelle is involved in recycling (fig. 8). At the present time, with respect to the insulin receptor, the biosynthetic pathway and the endocytotic pathway appear to be separate. Further, it does not appear that either pathway, i. e. synthesis or endocytosis, exerts a regulatory function over the other.     

影响青少年身高生长因素分析

目前社会上流行各种各样的增高方法,其中很多是毫无科学道理的,存在严重的误导消费行为。影响青少年身高增长主要因素很多,如睡眠、体育锻炼和营养补钙等,注意这些可以为青少年拥有理想身高提供帮助。中国城市儿童普遍缺乏体育锻炼及睡眠不足应引起高度重视。     

Ecdysteroid receptors located in the central nervous system of an insect

Summary Using thaw-mount autoradiography for steroid hormones, we obtained direct evidence for a nuclear localization of ecdysteroid binding sites in target organs of blowfly (Calliphora vicina) larvae. The binding sites revealed properties of ecdysteroid receptors. Endocrine cells of the ring gland were found to be target tissues of ecydysteroids. This observation provides morphological evidence for a network of complex interendocrine regulation. In the central nervous system receptorcontaining neurons were identified which include many, if not all, neurosecretory cells of the brain. A map of ecdysteroid sensitive cells of the larval brain is presented.     

利用发光细菌测定人体血清杀菌活性的研究

本文报导了以发光细菌作指示生物,以相对发光强度的变化为指标,测定人体血清样品总补体活性(CH_(50))的新方法。当把发光细菌和正常人体血清混和培养时,由于血清的杀菌作用而使细菌体内发光强度减弱,且光强度的减弱程度直接与活菌数的减少以及血清浓度相关联。用这一方法测定了199个人体血清样品,并与常规方法测定结果作比较,表明所有CH_(50)值正常的人血清样品抑制细菌发光能力明显大于CH_(50)值不正常的人血清样品,而且抑制细菌发光50％所得结果与常规CH_(50)试验结果一致。发光细菌测定法是一种简便、快速、灵敏的方法。     

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone does not inhibit lysine vasopressin-induced growth hormone secretion in normal men

Summary In order to establish whether thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) inhibits lysine-vasopressin (LVP)-induced growth hormone (GH) release, six normal men were tested with LVP alone or in combination with TRH. LVP strikingly increased serum GH levels; this response was not altered by TRH. These results indicated that in man TRH is not involved in the control of GH secretion in response to LVP.     

Insulin requirement of human leukemic cell lines

Summary The growth characteristics of human leukemic cell lines in serum supplemented medium and in serum free medium with and without the addition of insulin were investigated. No relation was found between the insulin binding capacity of the cells and their hormone-dependence for growth.This work has been supported by grant CT82.00191.04 of CNR Rome and by Regione Piemonte.
