Molecular cloning, pharmacological characterization and brain mapping of the melanocortin 4 receptor in the goldfish: Involvement in the control of food intake
Download2003
Schioth, H.B., Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E., Ringholm, A.
We report cloning, pharmacological characterization, tissue distribution, detailed brain mapping, and role in control of food intake of melanocortin 4 receptor in goldfish (gMC4R). The gMC4R protein has 68% identity with the human ortholog and is conserved in important functional domains....

γ-Aminobutyric Acid Up-Regulates the Expression of a Novel Secretogranin-II Messenger Ribonucleic Acid in the Goldfish Pituitary
Download1998
Docherty, K., Chang, J.P., Blázquez, M., Trudeau, V.L., Bosma, P.T.
An RNA-arbitrarily primed PCR differential display strategy was used to identify candidate genes in the pituitary that are up-regulated by endogenously activated g-aminobutyric acid (GABA) systems that may also be involved in the control of reproduction. Goldfish were injected with the GABA...

Endogenous hypothalamic somatostatins differentially regulate growth hormone secretion from goldfish pituitary somatotropes in vitro
Download2003
Davis, P.J., Peter, R.E., Chang, J.P., Graves, C., Smith, S., Rivier, J.E., Yunker, W.Y., Unniappan, S.
Using Southern blot analysis of RT-PCR products, mRNA for three different somatostatin (SS) precursors (PSS-I, -II, and -III), which encode for SS14, goldfish brain (gb)SS28, and [Pro2]SS14, respectively, were detected in goldfish hypothalamus. PSS-I and -II mRNA, but not PSS-III mRNA, were also...

Structural and functional analysis of transmembrane segment VI of the NHE1 isoform of the na+/H+ exchanger
Download2009-01-01
Tzeng, Jennifer, Lee, Brian L., Sykes, Brian D., Fliegel, Larry
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 is a ubiquitously expressed integral membrane protein. It resides on the plasma membrane of cells and regulates intracellular pH in mammals by extruding an intracellular H+ in exchange for one extracellular Na+. We characterized structural and functional aspects of...

Hypophysiotropic action of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) in the goldfish: Immunohistochemical demonstration of PACAP in the pituitary, PACAP stimulation of growth hormone release from pituitary cells, and molecular cloning of goldfish pituitary type I PACAP receptor
Download1998
Shea, W.L.C., Wong, A.O.L., Chang, J.P., Tse, L.Y., Leung, M.Y., Chow, B.K.C.
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a member of the glucagon/secretin peptide family, and its molecular structure is highly conserved in vertebrates. In this study, the functional role of PACAP in regulating GH release in the goldfish was investigated. Using...

Oxidative stress mediates estrogen receptor independent killing and contributes to tamoxifen resistance
Download2016
Godbout, Roseline, Brindley, David N., McMullen, Todd, Mackey, John R., Benesch, Matthew, Mi, Si, Venkatraman, Ganesh, Liu, Rong-Zong, Curtis, Jonathan M., Tang, Xiaoyun, Bekele, Raie T.
Tamoxifen is the accepted therapy for patients with estrogen receptor-α (ERα)-positive breast cancer. However, clinical resistance to tamoxifen, as demonstrated by recurrence or progression on therapy, is frequent and precedes death from metastases. To improve breast cancer treatment it is vital...

Sherwood, N.M., Craig, A.G., Park, M., Powell, J.F., Carolsfeld, J., Chang, J.P., Fischer, W.H., Rivier, J.E.
The evolution of GnRH and the role of multiple forms within the brain are examined. Three forms of GnRH were purified from the brain of Pacific herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) and characterized using Edman degradation and mass spectrometry. Two forms correspond with the known structures of...

Primary structure of a novel gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the brain of a teleost, Pejerrey
Download2001
Somoza, G.M., Rivier, J.E., Fischer, W.H., Park, M.K., Chang, J.P., Craig, A.G., Montaner, A.D., Sherwood, N.M.
The neuropeptide GnRH is the major regulator of reproduction in vertebrates acting as a first signal from the hypothalamus to pituitary gonadotropes. Three GnRH molecular variants were detected in the brain of a fish, pejerrey (Odontesthes bonariensis), using chromatographic and immunological...

Structural and functional analysis of transmembrane XI of the NHE1 isoform of the na+/H+ exchanger
Download2009-01-01
Lee, Brian L., Li, Xiuju J., Liu, Yongsheng, Sykes, Brian D., Fliegel, Larry
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 is a ubiquitously expressed integral membrane protein that regulates intracellular pH in mammals by extruding an intracellular H+ in exchange for one extracellular Na+. We characterized structural and functional aspects of the critical transmembrane (TM) segment XI...

Using EEG to examine inhibitory abilities in children: The effects of time pressure, physical activity, and emotion
DownloadFall 2018
The ability to inhibit inappropriate actions and irrelevant information is crucial for adaptive functioning. Inhibitory skills emerge early in life, with significant growth occurring during the period of early and middle childhood. The objective of this dissertation was to utilize...
