Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that carbon monoxide stimulates prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase activity in rat hypothalamic explants and in primary cultures of rat hypothalamic astrocytes.

TL;DR: Evidence presented here suggests that the catabolism of endogenous or exogenously added hemin is associated with an increase in PGE2 production in the rat hypothalamus, and at least some of the biological effects of CO at the hypothalamic level might be mediated by the activation of the PGHS pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different regulation of serotonin receptors following adrenal hormone imbalance in the rat hippocampus and hypothalamus.
TL;DR: Serotonin autoreceptor down-regulation following adrenalectomy may increase 5-HT release to maintain the constancy of serotonergic transmission in the brain and 5- HT modulated CRH-ACTH release to compensate the plasma corticosteroid drop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide increases prostaglandin production by rat astrocytes via inducible cyclo-oxygenase: evidence for the involvement of nuclear factor kappaB.
G. Pistritto,Ornella Franzese,Giacomo Pozzoli,Cesare Mancuso,Giuseppe Tringali,Paolo Preziosi,Pierluigi Navarra +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that LPS produced a concentration-dependent increase in PGE2 release from astrocytes, and nuclear factor kappaB appears to play a role in the activation of COX-2 induced by LPS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Region-specific inhibition of potassium-evoked [3H]noradrenaline release from rat brain synaptosomes by neuropeptide Y-(13–36). Involvement of NPY receptors of the Y2 type
TL;DR: The results indicate that NPY Y2 receptors are present on NA terminals in all areas studied, except the parieto-occipital cortex and inhibit depolarization-evoked [3H]NA release.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropeptide Y enhances the inhibitory effects of clonidine on 3H-noradrenaline release in synaptosomes isolated from the medulla oblongata of the male rat
TL;DR: In studies on superfused synaptosomes from the rat medulla oblongata, the inhibitory effects of theα2-adrenergic agonist clonidine induced3H-noradrenaline (NA) release was potentiated by 20%, when neuropeptide Y was added to the system.
