| gamete | <biology, genetics> Specialised haploid cells produced by meiosis and involved in sexual reproduction. Male gametes are usually small and motile (spermatozoa), whereas female gametes (oocytes) are larger and nonmotile. (18 Nov 1997) |

| gamete intra-fallopian transfer | <gynaecology> Gamete intra-fallopian transfer is a technique that involves combining eggs and sperm outside of the body and immediately placing them into the fallopian tubes to achieve fertilization. A technique that came into use in the mid-1980's for assisted conception in infertile women with normal fallopian tubes. The protocol consists of hormonal stimulation of the ovaries, followed by laparoscopic follicular aspiration of oocytes, and then the transfer of sperm and oocytes by catheterization into the fallopian tubes. Acronym: GIFT (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenocortical hormones | Hormone's secreted by the human adrenal cortex; e.g., cortisol, aldosterone, corticosterone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenomedullary hormones | Hormones produced by the adrenal medulla, particularly the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic hormones | Peptide hormones secreted into the blood by cells in the islets of langerhans of the pancreas. The alpha cells secrete glucagon; the beta cells secrete insulin; the delta cells secrete somatostatin; and the pp cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gastrointestinal hormones | Hormones that originate in and regulate motor and secretory activity of the digestive organs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parathyroid hormones | Polypeptide hormones (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the parathyroid glands, which promote release of calcium from bone to extracellular fluid by activating osteoblasts and inhibiting osteoclasts, indirectly promote increased intestinal absorption of calcium, and promote renal tubular reabsorption of calcium and increased renal excretion of phosphates. It is a major regulator of bone metabolism. Secretion of parathyroid hormone increases when the level of calcium in the extracellular fluid is low. Its action is opposed by calcitonin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vertebrate hormones | Hormones synthesised in vertebrates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycoprotein hormones, alpha subunit | A non-covalently bound subunit of the glycoprotein hormones tsh, fsh, lh, and hcg which originates in the anterior pituitary gland and placenta. This subunit is virtually identical in structure and indistinguishable by radioimmunoassay in all of the above glycoproteins. It is present in both men and women, but is elevated in postmenopausal women and in patients with hypothyroidism, uraemia and malignant tumours. The alpha subunit may be involved directly in recognition of certain receptors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gonadal hormones | Hormones having oestrogenic (female sex hormones) or androgenic (male sex hormones) activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormone release inhibiting hormones | Polypeptide hormones produced in the hypothalamus which inhibit the release of pituitary hormones. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormone-releasing hormones | Hormones released by one structure (e.g., the hypothalamus or the thyroid gland) that effect the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormones | Hormones secreted by the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary gland and the pars intermedia, an ill-defined region between the two. Their secretion is regulated by the hypothalamus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormones, anterior | Protein, glycoprotein, or polypeptide hormones secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormones, posterior | Hormones released from the posterior lobe of the pituitary, including vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin. They are formed in the neuronal cells of the hypothalamic nuclei and stored in nerve cell endings in the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis). (12 Dec 1998) |
