## Abstract Gap‐junction plaques are often observed with tight‐junction strands of vascular endothelial cells but the molecular interaction and functional relationships between these two junctions remain obscure. We herein show that gap‐junction proteins connexin40 (Cx40) and Cx43 are colocalized a

## Abstract The median eminence is one of the seven so‐called circumventricular organs. It is located in the basal hypothalamus, ventral to the third ventricle and adjacent to the arcuate nucleus. This structure characteristically contains a rich capillary plexus and features a fenestrated endothel
Cell culture studies have revealed that metabolic functions of the adult hepatocyte are related to cell density. Development of the glycogenic response to insulin under glucocorticoid control was investigated in 15-and 18-dayold fetal rat hepatocytes plated at different cell densities. After culturi
