The Effect of Being Aerobically Active vs. Inactive on Cutaneous Vascular Conductance during Local Heat Stress in an Older Population

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Objective: To test the hypothesis that long- term aerobically trained elderly individuals have a greater amount of bioavailable nitric oxide (NO) and have a larger cutaneous vasodilation during local heat stress compared to their inactive elderly ...

Quantifying skin microvascular function responses to distinct forms of heat stress in humans using optical coherence tomography

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables visualization and quantification of the cutaneous microvasculature, yet no study has compared responses to distinct forms of heating in humans. We hypothesized that local skin heating (LH) would evoke larger responses in microvascular diameter, velocity, flow and density than passive whole‐body ...

Astrocytic LRP1 mediates brain Aβ clearance and impacts amyloid deposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Accumulation and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain represent an early and perhaps necessary step in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Distinct Effects of Nonselective Rho‐Kinase Inhibitor Fasudil and Selective Rho‐Kinase 2 Inhibitor KD025 on Serotonin and Dopamine Release in the Nucleus Accumbens of Mice

open access: yesNeuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 2, June 2026.
Fasudil perfusion in the NAc increased basal extracellular serotonin but not dopamine, and suppressed depolarization‐evoked release of both. In contrast, KD025 showed minimal effects on basal levels and selectively suppressed evoked serotonin release. ABSTRACT Recent studies have indicated that the Rho GTPase family and Rho‐kinases are associated with ...

Repeated \u3cem\u3eN\u3c/em\u3e-Acetylcysteine Administration Alters Plasticity-Dependent Effects of Cocaine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Cocaine produces a persistent reduction in cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc− in the nucleus accumbens that may contribute to pathological glutamate signaling linked to addiction.

Combined Inhibition of TRPM4/NMDA Receptor Complex and Extrasynaptic NMDA Receptors Is Candidate Therapeutic Target for Suppression of Epileptic Seizures and Improvement of Cognitive Impairments

open access: yesPharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cognitive impairments are important therapeutic targets in epilepsy medication; however, effective pharmacological treatments for epilepsy patients with comorbid cognitive impairment have not been established. Effects of chronic administration of MK‐801 (noncompetitive NMDA receptor inhibitor), memantine (low‐affinity extrasynaptic‐NMDA ...

Cerebral microdialysis: research technique or clinical tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Cerebral microdialysis is a well-established laboratory tool that is increasingly used as a bedside monitor to provide on-line analysis of brain tissue biochemistry during neuro-intensive care.
