Expression of Equine Chromogranin A
In conclusion, we could confirm the expression of CGA in the equine submandibular gland. We consider that the salivary level as well as the plasma level of the CGA-LI can be a quantitative index for monitoring...

Salivary Secretion of Chromogranin A Control by Autonomic Nervous System
We have provided novel evidence that CGA-LI is stored in the cells of granular convoluted tubule, and is secreted into saliva by stimulation with NAd in the isolated and perfused rat submandibular gland. The c...

Plasma lipase, C-peptide reactivity and human pancreatic polypeptide responses after ingestion of elemental diet in patients with chronic pancreatitis
Plasma lipase, C-peptide reactivity (CPR) and human pancreatic polypeptide (HPP) responses after ingestion of elemental diet were studied in 27 patients with chronic pancreatitis. These subjects were classified i...

Development of Xenopus laevis skin glands producing 5-hydroxytryptamine and caerulein
The granular glands in Xenopus laevis skin are known to contain large quantities of biogenic amines and bioactive peptides which closely resemble mammalian brain-gut peptides. We studied the development of glands...

Immunocytochemical demonstration of IGF-II-like immunoreactivity in human paraganglioma of the craniocervical region
Insulin-like-growth factor (IGF)-II-like immunoreactivity was examined in two carotid bodies and six extra-adrenal paragangliomas with use of monoclonal antibody against rat IGF-II, which crossreacts with huma...

Transient involvement of enkephalins in both the sympathetic and parasympathetic innervations of the submandibular gland of rats
A time course study with enkephalin(Enk)-like immunoreactivity has revealed that nerve fibers intensely immunoreactive for Enk-8 appeared transiently only during the postnatal week 2 and 4 within the acini as ...

Intragranular colocalization of arginine vasopressin and methionine-enkephalin-octapeptide in CRF-axons in the rat median eminence
Ultrastructural appearances of axonal terminals containing corticoliberin (CRF) were examined in the rat median eminence prepared by a freeze-drying procedure. Immunolabeling was performed by using 5-, 8-, or ...

Subtypes of muscarinic receptors in canine pancreatic secretion in vivo and in vitro
In conscious dogs with esophageal, gastric and pancreatic fistulae, sham-feeding and meat feeding increased the pancreatic protein secretion to a peak, reaching about 39% and 69% of CCK8 maximum, and raised pl...

Ontogenesis of gastrin cells in the pyloric antrum and duodenum of the mouse
Ontogenesis of gastrin cells was studied in the pyloroduodenal mucosa of the mouse using anti-human G17 serum, R-1301, and anti-human G34(1–15) serum, R-2703. R-1301-immunostained cells first appeared in the p...

Human preprovasoactive intestinal polypeptide contains a novel PHI-27-like peptide, PHM-27
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), a 28-amino acid peptide originally isolated from porcine duodenum1, is present not only in gastrointestinal tissues but also in neural tissues, possibly as a neurotransmit...
