## Abstract Corticotropin‐releasing factor agonists exert inhibitory effects in stomach functions possibly through peripheral routes. We have previously reported the expression of Urocortin (Ucn) I, an endogenous ligand of both CRF receptor types CRF~1~ and CRF~2~, in the human stomach. We examined

## Abstract Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) appears to be critical for the control of important aspects of the behavioral and physiological response to stressors and drugs of abuse. However, the extent to which the different brain CRF neuronal populations are similarly activated after stress a
The addition of dexamethasone (dex) to human fibroblast cultures has been found to elicit enhanced proliferation. This enhancement is manifested by an increase in the initial growth rate, saturation density, and proliferative life span of WI-38 fibroblast cultures grown in the presence of dex. We ex
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Antagonists of growth hormone‐releasing hormone (GH‐RH) can inhibit the proliferation of various tumors either indirectly through the suppression of the pituitary growth hormone/hepatic insulin‐like growth factor I (__IGF‐I__) axis and the lowering of serum __IGF‐I__ conc
Prostate tumor cells preferentially metastasize to bony sites and lymph nodes at a frequency in excess of that which would be predicted by random tumor cell dissemination. In order to determine whether chemoattractants in these organs promote organ-specific metastasis, we utilized human cell lines d
