La carbétocine possède les mêmes propriétés pharmacologiques et cliniques que celles d'un agoniste de l'ocytocine à action prolongée. La carbétocine, comme l'ocytocine, se lie de façon sélective aux récepteurs de l'ocytocine du muscle lisse de l'utérus. Elle stimule les contractions régulières de l'utérus, augmente la fréquence des contractions déjà présentes ainsi que le tonus du muscle utérin. 2, record 1, French, - carb%C3%A9tocine

Environmental hormones, which are called endocrine disruptors or hormone mimics in scientific terminology, is a generic term for chemical substances that enter the body and mimic hormones, thus disrupting the functions of hormones naturally secreted by the body. They are difficult to decompose and have a high degree of residuality. About 70 substances are thought to be hormone disruptors, including dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyl(PCB), and bisphenol A, a plastic material widely used in daily life. 2, record 2, English, - hormone%20disrupting%20chemical

Substance [chimique, d'origine industrielle le plus souvent, que l'on retrouve dans l'environnement et] qui affecte le fonctionnement endocrinien (la production d'hormones), et peut ainsi causer des effets nocifs sur la santé d'un organisme ou de sa progéniture. 3, record 2, French, - modulateur%20endocrinien

Les modulateurs endocriniens, que l'on nomme aussi perturbateurs endocriniens ou œstrogènes environnementaux, sont des substances chimiques synthétiques et des composés végétaux naturels qui peuvent influer sur le système endocrinien, lequel se compose d'une diversité de glandes productrices de messagers hormonaux. Un système endocrinien «perturbé» peut être à l'origine de problèmes de développement, de reproduction et de santé chez les animaux sauvages et de laboratoire [ainsi que chez les humains.] 1, record 2, French, - modulateur%20endocrinien

Ce résultat confirmait l'effet œstrogénique de polluants contenus dans ces effluents : ces substances chimiques sont des «œstrogènes mimétiques» ou xénœstrogènes, car ils miment certains effets physiologiques des œstrogènes, tels que la synthèse de la vitellogénine, en interagissant avec le récepteur cellulaire des œstrogènes. 5, record 2, French, - modulateur%20endocrinien

Circulating IgG antibodies with the ability to mimic TSH(thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyrotropin) by binding to the TSH receptor of thyroid cells and activating adenylate cyclase, thus causing an increase in the level of intracellular second messenger cyclic AMP, which results in the release of thyroid hormones, thought to be responsible for most cases of Graves’ disease. 1, record 3, English, - thyroid%2Dstimulating%20immunoglobulin

C'est la mise en évidence d'un facteur IgG stimulant les fonctions thyroïdiennes, le "long acting thyroid stimulator" (LATS), qui a permis d'évoquer l'origine auto-immune de la maladie (de Basedow).
