  2. Eosinophil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil

    Cationic granule proteins and their release by degranulation [14] [15] [16] Reactive oxygen species such as hypobromite, superoxide, and peroxide (hypobromous acid, which is preferentially produced by eosinophil peroxidase) [17] Lipid mediators like the eicosanoids from the leukotriene (e.g., LTC 4, LTD 4, LTE 4) and prostaglandin (e.g., PGE 2 ...

  3. Eosinophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilia

    A class of steroid hormones secreted by the adrenal gland, glucocorticoids, inhibit eosinophil proliferation and survival. In adrenal insufficiency, low levels of these hormones allow increased eosinophil proliferation and survival. This leads to increases in blood eosinophil levels, typically eosinophilia and, less commonly, hypereosinophilia.

  4. Eosinophilic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic

    Eosin is usually combined with a stain called hematoxylin to produce a hematoxylin- and eosin-stained section (also called an H&E stain, HE or H+E section). It is the most widely used histological stain for a medical diagnosis. [3] When a pathologist examines a biopsy of a suspected cancer, they will stain the biopsy with H&E.

  5. Eosinophil cationic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil_cationic_protein

    Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) also known as ribonuclease 3 is a basic protein located in the eosinophil primary matrix. [4] In humans, the eosinophil cationic protein is encoded by the RNASE3 gene. [5] ECP is released during degranulation of eosinophils. This protein is related to inflammation and asthma because in these cases, there are ...

  6. Major basic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_basic_protein

    PRG2 is a 117-residue protein that predominates in eosinophil granules. It is a potent enzyme against helminths and is toxic towards bacteria and mammalian cells in vitro. The eosinophil major basic protein also causes the release of histamine from mast cells and basophils, and activates neutrophils and alveolar macrophages.

  7. Paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus - Wikipedia

    The axons of the parvocellular neurosecretory neurons of the PVN project to the median eminence, a neurohemal organ at the base of the brain, where their neurosecretory nerve terminals release their hormones at the primary capillary plexus of the hypophyseal portal system. The median eminence contains fiber terminals from many hypothalamic ...

    As for the orgasm connection, oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus (i.e., the control center of the brain), which is yet another region activated—both in the posterior and anterior—during ...

  9. Neuroendocrinology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroendocrinology

    The hypothalamus produces the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin in its endocrine cells (left). These are released at nerve endings in the posterior pituitary gland and then secreted into the systemic circulation. The hypothalamus releases tropic hormones into the hypophyseal portal system to the anterior pituitary (right).
