A Review of Thyroid Hormones and Graves’ Disease
(2018-05)There are two different types of thyroid hormones, T3 and T4. These two types mostly differ in their concentrations and potencies, with T3 being approx. 3x more potent than T4, and T4 being approx. 4x more prevalent in the ... -
Development of high yield Switchgrass Cultivar by Agrobacterium-Mediated transformation with InsP-5-Ptase Gene
(2018-05)InsP-5-Ptase gene is involved in the phosphoinostide pathway which functions as a mechanism of drought response. The protein products of this gene hydrolyze soluble inositol phosphates terminating the signal of InsP3 ... -
Soybean Transformation with Cysteine Protease Inhibitor (CPI1) Gene for Resistance and Tolerance
(2018-05)Soybeans (Glycine max) are one of the major agricultural important crops in the United States. These legumes have a variety of uses, including food and industrial applications. Soybean growth is susceptible to drought, ... -
Development of Tissue Culture System for Transformation System in Hops (Humulus lupulus)
(2018-05)Hop (Humulus lupulus) is widely used in the brewing industry because the female flower improves the aroma and flavor of beer. It is challenging to cultivate hops in New York state since the hop is very sensitive to fungi ... -
A Review of Cortisol: The “Stress Hormone”
(2018-05)Cortisol, also known as hydrocortisone, is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland of mammals. The zona fasciculata is the tissue that produces this glucocorticoid in response to stimulation ... -
‘Fight or Flight Response’ hormone——Adrenaline
(2018-05)Adrenaline is a hormone secreted by the body. When people experience certain stimuli, such as excitement, fear, and stress, they release adrenaline, which causes the heart to beat faster, blood flow faster, and breathing ... -
