Relaxin and the Paraventricular Nucleus of the Hypothalamus

TL;DR: Neither relaxin nor relaxin-3 had an effect on the vasopressin release, however the RXFP3 specific agonist, R3/I5, induced vasoppressin release and the effect of the relaxin peptides on the electrical activity of neurons in the paraventricular nucleus was evaluated.

Beneficial effects of natural products on female sexual dysfunction: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the study of the efficacy of natural products on FSD was conducted. And preliminary evidence suggests that Tribulus terrestris and Panax ginseng may be effective as alternative treatments for FSD in clinical setting.

Osmotic perception of GABAergic synaptic transmission in the supraoptic nucleus of rats.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that two coordinated mechanisms may play an important role in the regulation of a wide range of physiological functions of VP: the modulation of GABAA receptor properties by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-induced tyrosine kinase B receptor-mediated signaling under hypertonic conditions, and cell swelling-induced activation of whole-cell anion currents under hypotonic conditions.

Uso de la vasopresina en el estado de choque

TL;DR: El tratamiento con vasopresina exogena incrementa la resistencia vascular sistemica, the presion of perfusion and el aporte of oxigeno a los tejidos perifericos lo cual hace posible the disminucion and suspension of los vasopreores e incrementa the supervivencia.

The physiological role of endogenous nitric oxide in the magnocellular neurosecretory system

TL;DR: The role ofNO in the regulation ofneurohypophysial 38 hormone secretion, and involvement of NO in pregnancy and parturition 42, is explained.

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.
