31. For example, sometimes the presence of a support figure can lead to increased neuroendocrine and physiological activity. 32. Furthermore, all CVOs contain neural tissue, allowing them to play a role in the neuroendocrine system. 33. Some neuroendocrine tumor cells possess especially strong hormone receptors, such as somatostatin receptors and uptake hormones strongly. 34. Imaging with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose ( FDG ) PET may be valuable to image some neuroendocrine tumors. 35. It is now also an official journal of the European Neuroendocrine Association and of the International Neuroendocrine Federation. 36. It is now also an official journal of the European Neuroendocrine Association and of the International Neuroendocrine Federation. 37. The HPG, and HPT axes are three pathways in which the hypothalamus and pituitary direct neuroendocrine function. 38. There is sufficient evidence linking cardiovascular, neuroendocrine , and immune system function with higher levels of social support. 39. According to this group, all properties and qualities of experience are mediated by our body s neuroendocrine systems. 40. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the chromogranin / secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins.
