Pheromones are chemical cues, which are released by animals and act on members of the same species to regulate their social interactions and the size of their populations (Halpem and Martinez-Marcos 2003 Brennan and Zufall 2006). Pheromone effects in rodents range from intermale aggression to sexual behaviors and longterm neuroendocrine alterations. Although the original description of a pheromone...

Ultimately, the current view of both American psychiatry and the World Health Organization is the soundest public statement yet about sexual orientation that bisexuality and homosexuality are natural sexual variations, that individual sexual orientations lie on a continuum, and that they are based on gene and/or environment-dependent neuroendocrine alterations of sexual brain organization. This set of ideas derives from... 

Multiple neuroendocrine and metabolic finks exist between arterial hypertension and hypothyroidism. Metabolic and neuroendocrine alterations may be associated with arterial hypertension, inducing both adjunctive cardiovascular risk and vascular, cerebral, renal and cardiac pathologies (so-called hypertensive target organ damage ). A hypothyroid dysfunction may interact with all these factors and conditions.

The normal prostate is composed of acinar secretory cells arranged in a radial shape and surrounded by a foundation of supporting tissue. The size, shape, or presence of acini are almost always altered in the gland that has been invaded by prostatic carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma, the major pathologic cell type, accounts for more than 95% of prostate cancer cases.15 Much rarer tumor types include small cell neuroendocrine cancers, sarcomas, and transitional cell carcinomas.

Treatment-related altered serum th5Toid hormone levels indicate that chlorine dioxide and chlorite may exert toxic effects that are mediated through the neuroendocrine axis. Changes in thyroid hormones have been reported in laboratory animals that were either directly exposed to chlorine dioxide (repeated doses as low as 9 mg/kg/day), or exposed to chlorine dioxide or chlorite via their mothers (maternal doses of chlorine dioxide and chlorite as low as 13 and 9 mg/kg/day, respectively) during pre- and postpartum development (Bercz et al. 1982 Carlton and Smith 1985 Carlton et al. 1987, 1991 Mobley et al. 1990 Orme et al. 1985).
