Minimal effective concentrations (MECs), determined by radial diffusion assay, were generally lower than minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) determined by microbroth dilution. PGLa-AM1 and CPF-AM1 were particularly active against <em>Streptococcus mutans</em> and all three peptides were effective against <em>Fusobacterium nucleatum</em>, whereas <em>Enterococcus faecalis</em> and <em>Candida albicans</em> proved to be relatively resistant micro-organisms.

Hypothalamic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) mRNA (</span><em>Trh</em><span>) was increased (68%), concomitant with a reduction in type 2 deiodinase mRNA (</span><em>Dio2</em><span><span>, 30%) and no changes in MCT-8 and thyroid hormone receptor mRNA expression. NBR-KO mice exhibited a 56% higher increase in serum TSH in response to an acute single </span>intraperitoneal injection<span> of TRH concomitant with a non-significant increase in pituitary TRH receptor (</span></span><em>Trhr</em><span><span>) mRNA at basal state. The phenotype of female NBR-KO mice at the hypothalamus–pituitary axis revealed alterations in pituitary and hypothalamic gene expression, associated with reduced serum T3, and higher TSH response to TRH, with apparently normal thyroid morphology and hormonal production. Thus, results confirm that neuromedin B pathways are importantly involved in </span>secretory pathways of TSH and revealed its participation in the </span><em>in vivo</em> regulation of gene expression of TSH β-subunit and pituitary MCT8 and <em>Thrb</em> and hypothalamic TRH and type 2 deiodinase.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20853,"journal":{"name":"Regulatory Peptides","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.regpep.2014.10.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32863266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
