Effects of combined administration of vasopressin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pigs.

TL;DR: Vasopressin with or without epinephrine and norepinephrine resulted in higher myocardial and cerebral perfusion than epine dopamine alone, but there was no benefit in adding nore Alpinephrine to vasopressingin and epinechery with regard to cardiac and cerebral blood flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Data supporting a new physiological role for brain apelin in the regulation of hypothalamic oxytocin neurons in lactating rats.

TL;DR: The inhibitory role of apelin as an autocrine/paracrine peptide acting on OXY neurons during breastfeeding is highlighted, which is correlated with a decrease in the amount of milk ejected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anatomical remodelling of the supraoptic nucleus: changes in synaptic and extrasynaptic transmission.

TL;DR: Observations indicate that the glial environment of supraoptic neurones influences synaptic glutamatergic transmission, as well as extrasynaptic forms of communication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attenuated cocaine-seeking after oxytocin administration in male and female rats.

TL;DR: Data indicate that OXT neurons in PVN and SON may be involved in cocaine-seeking during ED1 and support OXT as a possible therapeutic to decrease cocaine- seeking during initial abstinence and in response to cocaine-associated cues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxytocin synthesis within the normal and neoplastic breast: First evidence of a local peptide source

TL;DR: Data altogether suggest the existence of a local OT source within the normal as well as within the neoplastic breast, and that such synthesis can be modulated by E2.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The anatomy of neuropeptide-Y-containing neurons in rat brain.

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.
