Arginine vasopressin enhances GABAergic inhibition of cardiac parasympathetic neurons in the nucleus ambiguus

, 2002
Previous studies have shown that arginine vasopressin is an important neuropeptide that can modulate the reflex control of blood pressure and heart rate.

New Topics in Vasopressin Receptors and Approach to Novel Drugs: Research and Development of Conivaptan Hydrochloride (YM087), a Drug for the Treatment of Hyponatremia

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder in hospitalized patients and is associated with the risk of intractable seizures and death. The effectiveness of conventional therapies for hyponatremia is inconsistent, and the rapid correction of ...

Testosterone Acts Within the Medial Amygdala of Rats to Reduce Innate Fear to Predator Odor Akin to the Effects of Toxoplasma gondii Infection

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020
Rats infected with the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii exhibit a reduced aversion to cat odor. This behavioral change is thought to increase trophic transmission of the parasite. Infected male rats also show a greater testicular synthesis of testosterone and

The last‐step integrator thesis: Heterarchical control of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Heterarchy of control of the gastrointestinal tract. The production mechanisms (i.e. epithelial cells and muscles) are shown at the bottom in green. Above them are some of the many mechanisms that provide control inputs to these production mechanisms.

L-arginine deprivation impairs Leishmania major-specific T-cell responses. [PDF]

, 2009
The amino acid L-arginine plays a crucial role in the regulation of immune responses. We have recently shown that uncontrolled replication of Leishmania parasites at the site of pathology correlates with high levels of arginase activity in nonhealing ...

Integrated Phytochemical Characterisation, Pharmacological Evaluation and Computational Investigation of Acampe papillosa Stem Extract

Analytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, December 2026.
The pharmacological potential of the methanolic stem extract of Acampe papillosa is evaluated using in vivo and in silico approaches. The extract demonstrates significant anxiolytic, sedative, anti‐inflammatory, and antipyretic activities in experimental models, while molecular docking supports the observed biological effects through favorable ...

Müller Glia Subtypes Define Neuro‐Glial Associations and Spatial Morphogen Axes in the Zebrafish Retina

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 11, November 2026.
Zebrafish Müller glia are heterogeneous in the early larval retina. Zebrafish Müller glia subtypes define a spatial axis of retinoic acid metabolism. Neuron‐associated glial programs identified in Zebrafish Müller glia are evolutionarily conserved in mammals. ABSTRACT Müller glia are instrumental macroglia of the vertebrate retina, once thought to be a

Central diabetes insipidus [PDF]

, 2016
2016-11Central diabetes insipidus (CDI), characterized by polyuria and polydipsia, is caused by deficiency of arginine vasopressin (AVP), an antidiuretic hormone which acts on V2 receptors in kidney to promote reabsorption of free water.
