Neurohypophyseal dysfunction during septic shock.

TL;DR: The neural mechanisms for the regulation of vasopressin secretion during septic shock are discussed, including the role of nitric oxide and neurohypophyseal hormone in this phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vasopressin regulation of maternal body fluid balance in pregnancy and lactation: A role for TRPV channels?

TL;DR: This paper showed that upregulation of TRPV4 heteromerization with ΔN-TRPV1 might maintain vasopressin secretion in pregnancy and lactation to expand blood volume for successful reproduction.

Neural Basis for Regulation of Vasopressin Secretion by Anticipated Disturbances in Osmolality

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that Vasopressin neuron activity is regulated by multiple anatomically and functionally-distinct neural circuits, including the lamina terminalis and hypothalamic arcuate nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salt loading reduces hypothalamic noradrenaline release after noxious stimuli.

TL;DR: The data suggest that salt loading presynaptically suppresses noradrenaline release in the hypothalamus and oxytocin release into the blood after footshocks, and does not change activation of A1 catecholaminergic neurones in the medulla oblongata.

Neural control of the posterior pituitary gland (neurohypophysis)

TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the principles of neural control of the posterior pituitary gland, where vasopressin increases peripheral vascular resistance and thus arterial blood pressure, and this can be important for restoring blood pressure in hypovolemic shock during hemorrhage and septic shock.

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.
