• Protein signal is crucial for accurate control of insect size

  Two independent groups of researchers have identified a hormone that is responsible for keeping the growth and development of insects on track. The results, which are reported in Science, suggest that Dilp8 provides an important signal to slow body growth and delay insect development. This braking e more

• Gene therapy for epilepsy could stop seizures, UF researchers say

  Sparking production of a hormone in the brain that people with epilepsy often lack could prevent debilitating seizures, University of Florida researchers have discovered.  The researchers used gene therapy in rats to stimulate production of somatostatin, a seizure-stopping chemical that naturally oc more

• Heart hormone helps shape fat metabolism
  

  It's well known that exercising reduces body weight because it draws on fat stores that muscle can burn as fuel. But a new study at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) suggests that the heart also plays a role in breaking down fat. In their study, published in the Journal of more

• GC-C-IRMS Determination of Hormones
  

  By amending methodology to utilize eVol® for sample preparation processes for GC-C-IRMS C isotope ratio analysis, the ISORA department has: improved sample preparation conditions and the GC-C-IRMS analysis results by removing the risk of ghost peaks, and increased their workflow, been able to work more rapidly while maintaining ergonomic practice for laboratory staff, increased liquid handling accuracy more

• Interference and HAMA problems
  

  Immunoassays are bioanalytical methods based on antibodies. These include ELISA, EIA, RIA, Western blotting, protein arrays, lateral flow assays (immuno-chromatography), immunohistochemistry or immuno-PCR. Antibodies detect the substances (analytes) in immunoassays. This detection is always highly specific and only the analytes are detected and bound. This is the theory! Practically any antibody not only binds its analyte. It also binds several other substances, but with very different affinities. more

• To Probe or Not to Probe
  

  In our efforts to measure the expression levels of the thyroid hormone receptor ß2 in small areas of mouse brain, we encountered primer-dimer prob­lems when using SYBR Green I assays. With the Universal ProbeLibrary and the LightCycler® 2.0 Instrument we were able to solve the primer-dimer problem, increase PCR efficiency, and continue our investigations. more

• Structural and biochemical characteristics of various white adipose tissue depots

  Abstract It is now widely accepted that white adipose tissue (WAT) is not merely a fuel storage organ, but also a key component of metabolic homoeostatic mechanisms. Apart from its major role in lipid and glucose metabolism, adipose tissue is also involved in a wide array of other biological proc more

• Paired‐related homeodomain proteins Prx1 and Prx2 are expressed in embryonic pituitary stem/progenitor cells and may be involved in the early stage of pituitary differentiation.

  Abstract: We recently cloned a paired‐related homeodomain protein Prx2 as a novel factor in the pituitary. Here, we investigated ontogenic profiles of Prx2 and another cognate Prx1 in the rat embryonic pituitary. Quantitative Real‐Time PCR showed low expression of Prx2 and marked increase of Prx1 more
