Development of the hypothalamo–hypophyseal system in amphibians with special reference to metamorphosis
2021, Molecular and Cellular EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :It was also demonstrated that both fNPP and fACTH, but not α-MSH, enhanced the release of PRL and GH from the bullfrog anterior pituitary cells in vitro. In this respect, fACTH1–17 (identical with human ACTH1–17) was as effective as authentic fACTH1–39 (Aida et al., 1999b). Thus, corticotropes were considered to play a role in maintaining the secretory function of some neighboring cells in addition to stimulating the adrenal cortex.
Adipokinetic hormones: Structure and biosynthesis
2016, The Curated Reference Collection in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral PsychologyTRH acts as a multifunctional hypophysiotropic factor in vertebrates
2009, General and Comparative EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :In addition, the major factor from the bullfrog hypothalamus that exhibits PRL-releasing activity has been characterized as TRH (Nakajima et al., 1993), These observations indicate that TRH is likely a physiological regulator of pituitary lactotrope cells. TRH also stimulates GH secretion from the pituitary of R. catesbeiana (Hall and Chadwick, 1984; Aida et al., 1999; Yamamoto et al., 2000), R. perezi (Pelophylax perezi) (Gracia-Navarro et al., 1991; Castaño et al., 1993), R. pipiens (Hall and Chadwick, 1984) and X. laevis (Hall and Chadwick, 1984). Finally, TRH is a very potent stimulator of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) secretion from melanotrope cells in R. ridibunda (Vaudry et al., 1977; Tonon et al., 1980, 1983; Leroux et al., 1982, 1983; Adjeroud et al., 1986; Lamacz et al., 1987, 1988; Louiset et al., 1989; Gonzalez de Aguilar et al., 1997; Galas et al., 1998, 1999), R. pipiens (Kraicer, 1977) and X. laevis (Verburg-van Kemenade et al., 1987; Dotman et al., 1997).
Occurrence of β-endorphin binding sites in the pituitary of the frog Rana esculenta: Effect of β-endorphin on luteinizing hormone secretion
2003, General and Comparative EndocrinologyBullfrog Ghrelin Is Modified by n-Octanoic Acid at Its Third Threonine Residue
2001, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :These results indicate that the regulatory mechanism governing GH secretion by GHRH exists in the frog. In addition, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (27), proopiomelanocortin-derived peptides (27), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (34), and endothelin (35) are involved in GH release in the frog. These facts indicate that the stimulation of GH secretion in frog is governed by a complicated hypothalamic hormonal regulation.
