The Modulation Of Detrusor Contractility By Agents Influencing Ion Channel Activity
Background: This study specified the role of several significant ion channels regulating the metabolism of calcium ions in contraction and relaxation of human detrusor muscle in order to identify possible target for future drugs that are capable of ...

The role of agomelatine in appetite regulation and body weight in rats
Abstract The hypothalamic nuclei play a central role in the synthesis of anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides, which are regulated by peripheral hormones, like leptin and ghrelin. Melatonergic receptors (MT1/MT2) are prominently expressed in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus – an essential hub for appetite control – and in peripheral ...

D₂ Dopamine Receptors Colocalize Regulator of G-Protein Signaling 9-2 (RGS9-2) via the RGS9 DEP Domain, and RGS9 Knock-Out Mice Develop Dyskinesias Associated with Dopamine Pathways [PDF]
Regulator of G-protein signaling 9-2 (RGS9-2), a member of the RGS family of Gα GTPase accelerating proteins, is expressed specifically in the striatum, which participates in antipsychotic-induced tardive dyskinesia and in levodopa-induced dyskinesia. We

Imposed expiratory resistance, dynamic hyperinflation and locomotor power and fatigue
Abstract Expiratory flow limitation results in dynamic hyperinflation, dyspnoea and premature exercise intolerance. We aimed to measure whether expiratory resistance reduces locomotor power via limiting maximal voluntary motor activity, exacerbating muscle fatigue, or both.

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications
Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...

ABSTRACT β‐agonists have been used in asthma for 120 years. There are two recent changes: ultra‐long‐acting agonists for COPD and new asthma guidelines recommending formoterol/ICS inhalers phasing out short‐acting salbutamol inhalers. Few studies directly compare the molecular pharmacological properties of short (salbutamol, terbutaline, fenoterol ...
