Thyroid hormones inhibit growth hormone secretion in domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus)

Abstract

The influence of thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3) on the secretion of GH in immature fowl was investigated. In birds pretreated with i.m. injections of T4 (100 micrograms/day for 10 days or 250 micrograms/kg for 7 days) or T3 (250 micrograms/kg for 7 days) the basal plasma GH level was markedly reduced. A similar reduction in the basal plasma GH level was also observed 60 min after a single injection or T3 (25 and 250 micrograms/kg) or T4 (250 micrograms/kg). In control birds the concentration of plasma GH was greatly increased (greater than 450 micrograms/l) within 10 min of an i.v. injection of thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH; 10 micrograms/kg). In birds pretreated with T3 or T4 the increase in GH concentration after TRH treatment was significantly less than that in the controls. In birds pretreated for 60 min with T3 or T4 the GH response to TRH was inversely dose-related and lowest in T3-treated birds. These results demonstrate that T3 and T4 inhibit GH secretion in birds, which is an effect not observed in mammalian species.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
