Aging and aerobic fitness affect the contribution of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves to the rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating [PDF]
Sedentary aging results in a diminished rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating. We investigated whether this diminished response was due to altered contributions of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves; assessing 1) the age-related decline and,

The amygdala is essential for generating emotional-affective behaviors. It consists of several nuclei with highly selective, elaborate functions. In particular, the central extended amygdala, consisting of the central amygdala (CEA) and the bed nucleus ...

A stress hormone sends mixed signals to immune cells, according to a study on page 1527. Wheway and colleagues show that neuropeptide Y (NPY) activates antigen-presenting cells (APCs) but shuts off T cells. If correctly sequenced, these activities would both turn on and then limit certain immune responses.NPY is an abundant neuropeptide that is ...

Neurochemical characterisation of lamina II inhibitory interneurons that express GFP in the PrP-GFP mouse [PDF]
Background Inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn play important roles in modulating sensory transmission, and these roles are thought to be performed by distinct functional populations. We have identified 4 non-overlapping classes among

Wwox deletion leads to reduced GABA-ergic inhibitory interneuron numbers and activation of microglia and astrocytes in mouse hippocampus [PDF]
The association of WW domain-containing oxidoreductase WWOX gene loss of function with central nervous system (CNS) related pathologies is well documented.

Comparison of Plasma NPY and Zinc Levels of Elite Weightlifters and Sedentaries
Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a strong stimulant of nutrition, and zinc, which has an important effect on nutrition regulation, have attracted the attention of many researchers.

Ornithine has been identified as a potential satiety signal in the brains of neonatal chicks. We hypothesized that brain nutrient signals such as amino acids and appetite-related neuropeptides synergistically regulate food intake. To test this hypothesis,
