Journal ArticleDOI

The loss of MCP-1 attenuates cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion injury in a mouse model of pressure ulcer.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that MCP-1 may be a critical factor for macrophage recruitment and subsequent skin inflammation and injury during IR cycles, and played a role in apoptosis and injury via inducing iNOS during the reperfusion rather than the ischemic period.
Journal ArticleDOI

GABAergic neurons in the preoptic area send direct inhibitory projections to orexin neurons.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that specific pharmacogenetic stimulation of GABAergic neurons in the POA leads to an increase in the amount of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, and direct connectivity between POA GABAergic neuron and orexin neurons is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of a newly developed potent orexin-2 receptor-selective antagonist, compound 1 m, on sleep/wakefulness states in mice

TL;DR: Results suggest that an orexin-mediated suppression of REM sleep via potential activation of OX1Rs in the locus coeruleus may possibly contribute to the differential effects on sleep/wakefulness exerted by a DORA as compared to a 2-SORA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monoamines Inhibit GABAergic Neurons in Ventrolateral Preoptic Area That Make Direct Synaptic Connections to Hypothalamic Arousal Neurons.

TL;DR: Electrophysiological experiments found that GABAergic neurons in the VLPO (GABAVLPO neurons) that make direct input to orexin or histaminergic neurons are potently inhibited by noradrenaline and serotonin, suggesting that these monoamines disinhibit histamine and Orexin neurons.
