Tissue promoters

A low PO2 in peripheral tissues promotes the synthesis in erythrocytes of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) from the glycolytic intermediate 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. 

Foetal development promotes growth and differentiation of foetal cells and organogenesis Promotes longitudinal body growth and increased body weight Promotes enhanced functioning of the male and female reproductive tissue Promotes growth and differentiation of neuronal tissue... 

I suggest that variable plant chemistry, by restricting resource availability and focusing the activities of herbivores on a few tissues, promotes compromises between food-finding and risks from natural enemies which are not readily countered by most insects. The spatial and temporal heterogeneity which appears to be common in forest trees is the most important part of the tree s defensive system, and is the only way a plant s chemical defenses can remain effective over evolutionary time. This variable impact on natural enemies may be more important in regulating consumption than any single factor can be. 

Oxytocin is secreted from the posterior pituitary and targets the uterus (stimulating uterine contraction) and mammary tissue (promoting lactation). The oxytocin receptor couples via a Gas to activate adenylyl cyclase and increase cAMR... 

Human growth hormone hGH Liver, adipose tissue Promotes growth lipid and carbohydrate metabolism... 

Astringents (ad, to, and stringo, I bind).— Agents which cause a contraction of muscular tissue, promote the coagulation of albuminous fluids, and check secretion. 

To promote tissue growth, a biologically active agent can be added. This may be either a hard or soft tissue promoting substance or combinations thereof. Suitable tissue growth promoting agents are shown in Table 8.10. 

Liposomes were introduced into commercial cosmetics and face creams about 1987, and have potential value in medicinal creams and ointments as tissue promoters. Because of their high water content, moisturising properties are claimed. Liposomes containing dyestuffs in their aqueous core are used for diagnostic tests in immunology.

Peptide nanofibers Bladder tissue Promotes bladder smooth muscle cells attachment. Harrington et al. 

The half-life of HA ranges from 12-24 h in both the dermis and the epidermis. The presence of HA in epithelial tissues promotes keratinocyte proliferation and increases the presence of retinoic acid, causing skin hydration. HA interaction with CD44 antigen drives collagen synthesis and normal skin frmction. Present in the ECM of basal keratinocytes, HA is critical to the structural integrity of the dermal collagen matrix.
