A REVIEW of protein kinase recognition sequences is both long overdue and premature. It is
overdue because many of the approaches and applications of this field are more than a …

Insulin and the insulin-like growth factors (I and II) are homologous peptides essential to
normal metabolism as well as growth. These peptide hormones are present in the brain …

The HIGHLY COMPLEX function of the ver-tebrate nervous system is supported structurally
by its sophisticated cellular diversity and architecture. This is generated largely during …

Past studies have shown that the yolk of the canary (Serinus canaria) egg contains maternal
testosterone, that its concentrations increase in the subsequently formed eggs of a clutch …

Aim/hypothesis Embryonic stem (ES) cells have been proposed as a potential source of

The hormonal control of growth in poultry and other species is complex. The available
evidence supports the concept that growth hormone and the thyroid hormones are the …

Using a solution‐hybridization assay and specific oligonucleotidic probes, we have studied
IGF‐I and insulin receptor mRNAs in the rat central nervous system during development …

In fish, growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL) and somatolactin (SL) are three major peptide
hormones produced in the pituitary gland. Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain …

Mice were made diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin or alloxan. Germinal
