  • Considerable differences were found for the abundance of proenkephalin A mRNA in the various tissues: from 0.023% in the adrenal medulla to 0.00002% in the adenohypophysis [21].
  • Diazoxide opens ATP-sensitive K+ channels in adenohypophysis cells as it does in pancreatic beta cells and also induces a hyperpolarization (approximately 30 mV) that is also suppressed by antidiabetic sulfonylureas [22].
  • Here, we review how the release of Ca(2+) from inositol trisphospate (IP(3))-sensitive stores contributes differently to the stimulus-secretion coupling in three types of secretory cells (acinar cells of the pancreas, gonadotrophs, and corticotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland) [23].
  • Here, in identifying the molecular nature of the pia mutation, we investigate the role of the zebrafish achaete-scute homologue ascl1a during development of the adenohypophysis, an endocrine derivative of the placodal ectoderm [24].
  • Using a series of gene-specific oligonucleotide probes, we have explored the developmental pattern of expression of six members of the rat kallikrein gene family (PS, S1, S2, S3, K1, and P1) in the submandibular gland (SMG) and kidney of both sexes, the prostate and testis of the male, and the anterior pituitary gland (AP) of the female rat [25].
