TRH-like immunoreactivity in urine, serum and extrahypothalamic brain: non-identity with synthetic
Abstract:
TRH-like immunoreactive substances obtained from several areas of rat brain and from human serum and urine were chromatographically separated by TLC and the resulting immunoreactive 'elution profiles' compared with that obtained for pyroglu-hist-pro-NH2 (TRH). For hypothalamus and septal-preoptic samples TRH was present, but represented less than 100% of the immunoreactive substances. For cortex, amygdala, brain stem, serum and urine, no TRH was detectable in the immunoreactive substances from those samples. The implications of these findings in relation to 'TRH' distribution studies and validation of small peptide RIAs are discussed.

Enzyme-linked Receptors
Neurotrophin (NT) receptors are a family of RTKs, including trkA, trkB, and trkC (tropomyosin-related kinase) receptors. TrkA is specific for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-6, and neurotrophin-7. TrkB binds...
Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The iodine is then...
