Role of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis in the control of the response to stress and infection (2000)

McCann,S.M., Antunes-Rodrigues,J., Franci,C.R., Anselmo-Franci,J.A., Karanth,S., Rettori,V.

The release of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) from the corticotrophs is controlled principally by vasopressin and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Oxytocin may augment the release of ACTH under...

The role of nitric oxide in reproduction (1999)

McCann,S.M., Mastronardi,C., Walczewska,A., Karanth,S., Rettori,V., Yu,W.H.

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in reproduction at every level in the organism. In the brain, it activates the release of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH). The axons of the LHRH...

Role of leptin in hypothalamic–pituitary function

Yu, W. H., Kimura, M., Walczewska, A., Karanth, S., McCann, S. M.

A defect in the structure of the obese gene is responsible for development of obesity in the ob/ob mouse. The product of expression of the gene is the protein hormone leptin. Leptin causes weight...

Role of nitric oxide in interleukin 2-induced corticotropin-releasing factor release from incubated hypothalami.

Karanth, S, Lyson, K, McCann, S M

Stimulation of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) release from the hypothalamus by interleukin 2 (IL-2) was recently demonstrated. Cytokines induce nitric oxide synthase (NOS), an enzyme that...

Anterior pituitary hormone control by interleukin 2.

Karanth, S, McCann, S M

Several monokines, proteins secreted by monocytes and macrophages, alter release of hormones from the anterior pituitary. We report here the ability of femtomolar concentrations of interleukin 2...
