Regulation of Pituitary Thyrotropin Production in Red Drum
(2011-01-11)
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin, is a pituitary hormone which stimulates the thyroid gland to synthesize and secrete the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). In tetrapod ...
Sodium-Iodide Symporter in Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) Tissues
(2013-02-06)
Thyroid hormones play crucial roles in regulation of growth, metabolism, reproduction, and other essential physiological processes. In mammals, thyroid hormone synthesis is dependent on uptake of iodine from the blood into ...
Differential Expression of the Sodium-Iodide Symporter in Two Species of Teleost Fish, Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(2015-09-23)
In all vertebrates thyroid hormones are essential for normal growth, metabolism, and development. Thyroid hormones are unusual in that they require iodine to function. While the pathway of iodide uptake in terrestrial ...
Thyroid Hormone Regulation of Deiodinase in Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus)
(2011-05-04)
The thyroid gland is known to be important in the regulation of metabolism,growth, and reproduction in both mammalian and non-mammalian species. However, little information is available how thyroid hormones act on target ...
