Effects of Cholecystokinin in the Supraoptic Nucleus and Paraventricular Nucleus are Negatively Modulated by Leptin in 24-h Fasted Lean Male Rats

TL;DR: Results suggest that leptin dampens the effects of CCK on Fos expression in the SON and PVN, independently from NTS pathways, and this may reflect a direct action on magnocellular neurones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nav1.9 expression in magnocellular neurosecretory cells of supraoptic nucleus

TL;DR: It is shown that Nav1.9 is expressed by vasopressin- and oxytocin-producing MSC of the rat supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the SON, and that cultured MSC exhibit sodium currents that have characteristics of Nav 1.9 channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cannabinoids modulate synaptic activity in the rat supraoptic nucleus.

TL;DR: The results indicate that cannabinoids modulate the activity of magnocellular neurosecretory neurones by presynaptic inhibition of both excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission.

Short-term modulation of GABA(A) receptor function in the adult female rat

TL;DR: Adding plasticity in short-term regulatory mechanisms of postsynaptic receptor function before and after parturition is focused on, i.e. alterations in metabotropic and allosteric modulation of GABAA receptor activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Central administration of kisspeptin-10 inhibits natriuresis and diuresis induced by blood volume expansion in anesthetized male rats

TL;DR: Central administration of kisspeptin-10 inhibited VE-induced natriuresis and diuresis, and this effect was likely mediated by increasing AVP release independent of plasma ANP concentration and renal sympathetic nerve activity.

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.
