Abstract Chronic visceral pain is a key symptom of irritable bowel syndrome. Modulation of voltage‐gated calcium and potassium channels by G protein‐coupled receptors plays a key role in dampening nociceptive transmission. Both baclofen and the analgesic peptide α‐conotoxin Vc1.1 activate GABAB receptors (GABABR), resulting in inhibition of CaV2.2 and ...

Ultrastructure of astrocytes using volume electron microscopy: A scoping review
Abstract figure legend A complete overview on astrocyte ultrastructure with volume electron microscopy. The morphology of astrocytes under physiological and pathological conditions plays a role in brain homeostasis, synaptic activity and structural support, but their morphological complexity and heterogeneity are still poorly quantified.

Abstract figure legend This study aimed to determine whether early sensorimotor restriction (SMR) alters mitochondrial enzyme activities in rat muscles and brain structures. SMR was induced via immobilizing the hind limbs of pups for 16 h per day during the dark phase from birth to postnatal day (PND) 28.

Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia augments left ventricular contractility
Abstract figure legend Twenty‐four healthy adults were studied to determine the effects of an acute session of 40 min of intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia on cardiac performance. Cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography at rest and during graded stages of lower‐body negative pressure before and after the intervention to quantify load ...
