Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Expression of melanocortin-4 receptor and agouti-related peptide mRNAs in arcuate nucleus during long term malnutrition of female ovariectomized rats [PDF]
Objective: Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP) are involved in energy homeostasis in the rat. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of MC4R and AgRP mRNAs in arcuate nucleus (ARC) during long term ...

Background Vaginal atrophy (VA) is the thinning of the vaginal epithelial lining, typically the result of lowered estrogen levels during menopause. Some of the consequences of VA include increased susceptibility to bacterial infection, pain during sexual

Characteristics of an ovariectomized osteopenic rat model
Abstract Although osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy (Ovx) in the rat has been widely used as a model for postmenopausal osteoporosis in humans, the findings of different investigators are not always consistent. This might be mainly due to differences in the age of the animals at Ovx, time after Ovx, and the variables measured ...

Estradiol affects liver mitochondrial function in ovariectomized and tamoxifen-treated ovariectomized female rats [PDF]
Given the tremendous importance of mitochondria to basic cellular functions as well as the critical role of mitochondrial impairment in a vast number of disorders, a compelling question is whether 17beta-estradiol (E2) modulates mitochondrial function. To answer this question we exposed isolated liver mitochondria to E2.

Introduction: Osteoporosis can produce a persistent state of pain known as osteoporotic pain. One proposed mechanism of this pathology is increased calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP; a marker related to inflammatory pain) expression in the dorsal ...

The Ovariectomized Rat as a Model for Studying Alveolar Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Women
In postmenopausal women, reduced bone mineral density at the hip and spine is associated with an increased risk of tooth loss, possibly due to a loss of alveolar bone.
