Biological context of Poultry

• Growing male domestic fowl of an egg-laying strain were fed ad libitum and injected intraperitoneally with melatonin or intramuscularly with triiodothyronine (T3) to study the effects on sleep, food intake, blood glucose, e.e.g., oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production [13].
• Development of 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the ovary of the domestic fowl during sexual maturation [14].
• Effects of testosterone on hepatic lipid metabolism in the mature female domestic fowl [15].
• The comparative autoregulation of GHR gene transcription in central (whole brain or hypothalami) and peripheral (liver, bursa, spleen and thymus) tissues was therefore examined in domestic fowl [16].
• These results demonstrate that the chicken pituitary is responsive to mammalian GRF and provide evidence of structure-activity relationships of GRF in the domestic fowl [17].

Anatomical context of Poultry

• Effects of transient prepubertal 6-N-propyl-2-thiouracil treatment on testis development and function in the domestic fowl [18].
• Effects of gonadotrophins on progesterone production by isolated granulosa cells of the adenohypophysectomized domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) [19].
• Sexual dimorphism of arg-vasotocin gene expressing neurons in the telencephalon and dorsal diencephalon of the domestic fowl. An immunocytochemical and in situ hybridization study [20].
• The distribution of the vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein, calbindin, was mapped in the brachial spinal cord and in the 15th dorsal root ganglion of the domestic fowl, using fluorescence immunohistochemistry [21].
• 1. Oxygen consumption, respiratory frequency, and the PO2 of expiratory and interclavicular air sac gases were continuously monitored in six female domestic fowl trained to exercise on a treadmill for 10 min periods at normal or elevated air temperatures [22].

Associations of Poultry with chemical compounds

• Adrenocortical cell function in the hypophysectomized domestic fowl: effects of growth hormone and 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine replacement [23].
• Interorgan metabolism of amino acids, glucose, lactate, glycerol and uric acid in the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) [24].
• The enzymes were also similar with respect to their affinity for taurine, although the enzyme from domestic fowl would not bind glycine [25].
• Purification and characterization of cholyl-CoA: taurine N-acetyltransferase from the liver of domestic fowl (Gallus gallus) [25].
• The enzyme from domestic fowl had a mol.wt. of 63000-65000 by both gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis [25].

Gene context of Poultry

• In the adult domestic fowl hpGRF stimulated a greater increase in the plasma concentration of GH than did thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) [26].
• Synthetic human pancreatic Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor (hpGRF) elevated the plasma concentration of growth hormone (GH) in young and adult domestic fowl [26].
• The effect of synthetic ovine CRF on ACTH secretion of dispersed, domestic fowl pituitary cells was investigated [27].
• Immunoreactivity for photopigments is reduced during the posthatching development of chicken, whereas neuron-specific enolase (NSE)-immunoreactive pinealocytes increase remarkably in number in the end-vesicle of the domestic fowl with age, followed by a gradual expansion toward the proximal portion [28].
• Together, these data establish the presence and functional relevance of SR in domestic fowl as well as provide a system for investigating the mechanisms controlling Th1/Th2 pathways in chickens [29].
