Cytokinins participate in local and long-distance signalling, with the same transport mechanism as purines and nucleosides. [5] Typically, cytokinins are transported in the xylem. [2] Cytokinins act in concert with auxin, another plant growth hormone. The two are complementary, [6] [7] having generally opposite effects. [2]
The most important member of the auxin family is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), [7] which generates the majority of auxin effects in intact plants, and is the most potent native auxin. And as native auxin, its equilibrium is controlled in many ways in plants, from synthesis, through possible conjugation to degradation of its molecules, always ...
A "pharmacologic dose" or "supraphysiological dose" of a hormone is a medical usage referring to an amount of a hormone far greater than naturally occurs in a healthy body. The effects of pharmacologic doses of hormones may be different from responses to naturally occurring amounts and may be therapeutically useful, though not without ...
The following is a list of hormones found in Homo sapiens.Spelling is not uniform for many hormones. For example, current North American and international usage uses [citation needed] estrogen and gonadotropin, while British usage retains the Greek digraph in oestrogen and favours the earlier spelling gonadotrophin.
A 2015 experiment showed that a high-tryptophan diet can decrease serum levels of IAA in mice, but that in humans, protein consumption has no reliably predictable effect on plasma IAA levels. [7] Human cells have been known to produce IAA in vitro since the 1950s, [8] and the critical biosynthesis gene IL4I1 has been identified. [9] [10]
Nitric oxide interactions have been found within signaling pathways of plant hormones such as auxin, [67] ethylene, [63] [68] [69] Abscisic acid [61] and cytokinin. [70] Atmospheric nitric oxide can enter the stomates of most vascular species, and can have effects ranging from leaf blemishing, to stunting of growth, to necrosis. [71]
Kinetin is often used in plant tissue culture to induce callus formation (in conjunction with auxin) and regenerate shoot tissues from callus (with lower auxin concentration). For a long time, it was believed that kinetin was an artifact produced from the deoxyadenosine residues in DNA , which degraded when standing for long periods or when ...
Therapeutic effects of acupuncture may be related to the body's ability to suppress a range of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), IL-1B, IL-6, and IL-10. [ 22 ] Estrogen has been shown to promote healing by decrease the production of various proinflammatory cytokines like IL-6, [ 23 ] TNF-α, [ 24 ] and ...
