Endocrine glia: roles of glial cells in the brain actions of steroid and thyroid hormones and in the regulation of hormone secretion
LM Garcia-Segura, JA Chowen, F Naftolin - Frontiers in …, 1996 - Elsevier
The development and functioning of the nervous system are known to be influenced in
various ways by endocrine signals. In turn, neural tissue modulates internal homeostasis,
not only by electrical signaling, but also by regulating the release of endocrine messengers.
However, the mechanisms underlying these processes are not fully understood. Recent
evidence indicates that glia may play a significant role in the link between the endocrine and
nervous systems. Glial cells express nuclear receptors for both thyroid and steroid hormones …
