Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and localization of the main G protein α-subunits in the human fetal adrenal gland during the second trimester of gestation. Immunofluorescence studies conducted on sections from frozen glands obtained immediately after therapeutic abortion indicated that the αs subunit of the heterotrimeric Gs protein was detected in all adrenal cell types, except for endothelial cells. The otherα -subunits had a more specific pattern of distribution. Indeed, theα i1–2 protein was restricted to the definitive zone, whereas αi3 labeling was mainly expressed in the fetal zone. The αq protein subunit was localized in vascular endothelial cells at the periphery of the adrenal gland and in fetal cells at the center. Finally, chromaffin cells expressed αs, αq, and αo1, but not αo2 nor αi. Altogether, these results indicate that the human fetal adrenal gland is not only unique in its particular morphology and expression of steroidogenic enzymes, but also by the differential expression of G protein α-subunits. Such cell specific distribution in glands from midgestational fetuses may account for the absence or the different responses to stimuli, when compared with the adult adrenal gland.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
