Melatonin Receptor (Mt1 and Mt2) Proteins Expression in Thyroid Gland and Level of Thyroxin (T4), Thyrotropin (Tsh) Hormone During Progression of Age in Male Swiss Albino Mice
Abstract:Advancement of age is related with a progressive declining in most of the physiological activities. The activity of thyroid gland is also disturbed with increment of age in the organism. Melatonin regulates most of the physiological activities through its membrane bound MT1 and MT2 receptors in mammals. Melatonin receptors were localized on thyroid gland but their abundance on thyroid gland along with progression of age was unknown. In present study we investigated the age related changes in serum T4, TSH leve… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
