Nerve Centers Affecting the Function of the Cardiovascular System

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, 2021
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The activity of the cardiovascular system is carried out by the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). ANS itself is controlled by multiple nerve centers.

Central neuromechanisms underlying control of intragastric pressure through acupuncture at Zusanli (ST36) in rats: the upper cervical cord is the key link between the ascending and descending pathways

Neural Regeneration Research, 2016
Sensory inputs stimulated by Zusanli (ST36) acupuncture in the abdomen are known to converge in the upper cervical cord. However, it is unclear whether these inputs are subsequently conveyed to the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus and what kind of ...

The orexigenic effect of ghrelin is mediated through central activation of the endogenous cannabinoid system. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate appetite, this effect possibly being mediated by the activation of hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key enzyme in appetite and metabolism regulation.

Pregnancy decreases GABAergic inhibition of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus [PDF]

Physiology & Behavior, 2009
Depressor responses to peripheral or central infusion of Angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor antagonists (AT(1)X) are greater in pregnant (P) compared to nonpregnant (NP) animals. AT(1) and ionotropic excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors contribute to pressor responses to GABA(A) receptor blockade with bicuculline (Bic) in the paraventricular ...

NMDA Receptor Plasticity in the Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus Contributes to the Elevated Blood Pressure Produced by Angiotensin II

Journal of Neuroscience, 2015
Hypertension induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) is associated with glutamate-dependent dysregulation of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN).

GABAergic Projections from Lateral Hypothalamus to Paraventricular Hypothalamic Nucleus Promote Feeding

Journal of Neuroscience, 2015
Lesions of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) cause hypophagia. However, activation of glutamatergic neurons in LH inhibits feeding. These results suggest a potential importance for other LH neurons in stimulating feeding.

Topography of somatostatin gene expression relative to molecular progenitor domains during ontogeny of the mouse hypothalamus

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011
The hypothalamus comprises alar, basal and floor plate developmental compartments. Recent molecular data support a rostro-caudal subdivision into rostral (terminal) and caudal (peduncular) halves. In this context, the distribution of neuronal populations

Depolarizing actions of hydrogen sulfide on hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus neurons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a novel neurotransmitter that has been shown to influence cardiovascular functions as well and corticotrophin hormone (CRH) secretion.

Leptin Activates Oxytocin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus in Both Control and Diet-Induced Obese Rodents

PLoS ONE, 2013
The adipocyte-derived hormone leptin acts in the brain to reduce body weight and fat mass. Recent studies suggest that parvocellular oxytocin (OXT) neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) can mediate body weight reduction through ...

Abnormal Paraventricular Nucleus of Hypothalamus and Growth Retardation Associated with Loss of Nuclear Receptor Gene COUP-TFII

Scientific Reports, 2017
The paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus plays important roles in the regulation of energy balance and fetal growth. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its formation and function have not been clearly elucidated.
