Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]
, 2017 The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

The Evolution of Fangs, Venom, and Mimicry Systems in Blenny Fishes [PDF]
, 2017 Venom systems have evolved on multiple occasions across the animal kingdom, and they can act as key adaptations to protect animals from predators. Consequently, venomous animals serve as models for a rich source of mimicry types, as non-venomous ...

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1997 Recent data support the view that neuropeptide mediators, in particular opioid peptides, participate in the control of hematopoiesis. The main arguments are: neuropeptides modulate the functions of lymphoid cells, macrophages and mature granulocytes; they control cell proliferation and differentiation in many tissues, particularly during embryogenesis;

Racecadotril for acute diarrhoea in children: systematic review and meta-analyses [PDF]
, 2015 OBJECTIVE Racecadotril is an antisecretory agent that can prevent fluid/electrolyte depletion from the bowel as a result of acute diarrhoea, without affecting intestinal motility. An up-to-date systematic review is indicated to summarise the evidence on

Dynamics of the Mammalian Placental Metabolome in Placentogenesis and Embryonic Development
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies three metabolic stages (E8.5, E9.5–10.5, E11.5–14.5) and two transition periods (E8.5–9.5, E10.5–11.5) in mouse placental development. NAD(H) emerges as a key dynamic metabolite that enhances embryonic growth through accelerated segmentation and increased proliferation of mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC)‐induced presomitic ...

Dopamine-D1 and δ-opioid receptors co-exist in rat striatal neurons [PDF]
, 2006 Cocaine’s enhancement of dopaminergic neurotransmission in the mesolimbic pathway plays a critical role in the initial reinforcing properties of this drug. However, other neurotransmitter systems are also integral to the addiction process.
