Endocrine Abstracts

The biological organisms are complex systems regulated by the homeostatic back-end network. In these days the growing environmental loads (from industry, household, etc.) contain chemical exposure eg. halogenated hydrocarbons (monuron: MU (C9H11ClN2O), diuron: DU (C9H10Cl2N2O)), which can be endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs). Synthesis, release of hormones and cell processes of endocrine cells, and...

Endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) may cause disorders and alter the normal hormone synthesis and/or release.Aim was to investigate the effects of EDCs on normal hypophysis regulation; particularly the arginine–vasopressine (AVP) activated ACTH release from adenohypophysis cells and the monoamine activated AVP release from neurohypophysis cells.Primary monolayer cell cultures prepared from Wistar rat hypophyses. Separated ad...
