16. Role of prolactin in the prostate gland. Studies in transgenic mouse models
Abstract : The aim of the studies in this thesis was to investigate the role of prolactin (PRL) in normal and pathophysiological conditions of the prostate gland using three different genetically modified mouse models. Benign and malignant disorders of the prostate are highly prevalent in aging men. READ MORE

17. Receptor-operated signaling pathways in normal and diabetic pancreatic islet cell function
Abstract : Loss of glucose-dependent insulin release is an early pathogenetic event in human type 2 diabetes. Impaired glucose-mediated insulin secretion from pancreatic islet β-cells leads to insulin deficiency and thus hyperglycemia. READ MORE

18. The influence of status epilepticus on adeno-pituitary hormone secretion in man : with special reference to prolactin
Abstract : Epileptic seizures as well as antiepileptic drugs (AED) may interfere with the hypothalamic pituitary axis (HPA) and have neuroendocrine effects. A transient increase of prolactin (PRL) and cortisol in serum after generalised tonic-clonic or complex partial seizures has been one of the most consistent findings, although absences and myoclonic seizures, as well as seizures of very short duration, do not seem to affect PRL levels.

19. Classification, Evolution, Pharmacology and Structure of G protein-coupled Receptors
Abstract : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are integral membrane proteins with seven α-helices that translate a remarkable diversity of signals into cellular responses. The superfamily of GPCRs is among the largest and most diverse protein families in vertebrates. READ MORE

20. Dopamine coordinates the effect of natriuretic and antinatriuretic factors
Abstract : Living organisms are dependent on a precise regulation of water and sodium. The stability of the internal environment is maintained through a series of feedback mechanisms, in response to changes within the organism as well as to changes in the external environment. READ MORE
