Associations of drugs routinely given in labour with breastfeeding at 48 hours: analysis of the Cardiff Births Survey.
TL;DR: This study examines whether breastfeeding rates are affected by drugs routinely administered in labour, and whether these drugs have an effect on breastfeeding.

Vasopressin: physiology and clinical use in patients with vasodilatory shock: a review
D. T. den Ouden,A E Meinders +1 more
TL;DR: Broad clinical use of vasopressin should await controlled trials to clarify its effects on clinical outcomes such as organ failure and mortality, and side effects ranging from ischaemic skin lesions to possible intestinal ischaemia should not be underestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of rhythmogenesis: insights from hypothalamic vasopressin neurons
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that vasopressin cell rhythmicity depends on feedback modulation of intrinsic membrane properties and synaptic inputs by peptides released from the dendrites of these neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vasopressin Differentially Modulates Non-NMDA Receptors in Vasopressin and Oxytocin Neurons in the Supraoptic Nucleus
TL;DR: It is concluded that vasopressin inhibits EPSCs in vasopressingin neurons via postsynaptic V1a receptors, whereas it facilitates EPSC in oxytocin neurons through oxytoc in receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel aspects of glutamatergic signalling in the neuroendocrine system.
TL;DR: The synthesis of VGLUT2 exhibits robust up‐regulation in response to certain endocrine challenges, indicating that altered glutamatergic signalling may represent an important adaptive mechanism.

Expression of c-fos protein in brain: metabolic mapping at the cellular level
TL;DR: Fos immunohistochemistry provides a cellular method to label polysynaptically activated neurons and thereby map functional pathways in response to polysynaptic activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A potent and selective endogenous agonist for the mu-opiate receptor.
TL;DR: The discovery and isolation from brain of a peptide, endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2), which has the highest specificity and affinity for the µ receptor of any endogenous substance so far described and they maybe natural ligands for this receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The organization of noradrenergic pathways from the brainstem to the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei in the rat
TL;DR: The autoradiographic material, and additional double-labeling experiments, were used to identify and to characterize projections that interconnect the A1, A2 and A6 regions, as well as possible projections from these cell groups to the spinal cord.

TL;DR: The extremely high concentrations and widespread distribution of neuropeptide Y in the central nervous system suggests a number of important physiological roles for this neurotransmitter candidate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential co-existence of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity with catecholamines in the central nervous system of the rat.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that central catecholamine neurons can be subdivided into distinct sub-groups based upon the coexistence of a specific peptide.
