Vasopressin vs Terlipressin in Treatment of Refractory Shock.
G Scarpati,O Piazza +1 more
TL;DR: Differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics between AVP and Terlipressin (TP) in treatment of refractory shock are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permissive effect of centrally administered oxytocin on the excitatory response of oxytocin neurones to ventral tegmental stimulation in the suckled lactating rat.
TL;DR: Previous in vitro studies suggesting that centrally released oxytocin may act as a modulator of afferent transmission to the magnocellular nuclei are supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequent Preservation of Neurologic Function in Brain Death and Brainstem Death Entails False-Positive Misdiagnosis and Cerebral Perfusion.
TL;DR: Some patients who have been diagnosed as "dead by neurologic criteria" continue to exhibit certain brain functions, most commonly, neuroendocrine functions, which raises the concern as to whether additional areas of neural tissue may remain viable, including areas in the brainstem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular effects of noradrenaline microinjected into the insular cortex of unanesthetized rats
TL;DR: Results suggest that pressor response evoked by microinjection of noradrenaline into the IC involve the activation of IC α(1)-adrenoceptors to cause the release of vasopressin into the circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
TFF3 induced Fos protein expression in the magnocellular oxytocin neurons of the hypothalamus.
Abigail Derbyshire,Mike Ludwig +1 more
TL;DR: Fos protein expression was significantly increased in both the SON and PVN after TFF3 injections and double labeling studies showed that the Fos signal was predominantly in oxytocin neurons.

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.

The anatomy of neuropeptide-Y-containing neurons in rat brain.
Bibie M. Chronwall,Debora A. DiMaggio,V.J. Massari,V.J. Massari,Virginia M. Pickel,David A. Ruggiero,Thomas L. O'Donohue +6 more
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.
