From autism to eating disorders and more: the role of oxytocin in neuropsychiatric disorders [PDF]
Oxytocin (oxy) is a pituitary neuropeptide hormone synthesized from the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei within the hypothalamus. Like other neuropeptides, oxy can modulate a wide range of neurotransmitter and neuromodulator activities. Additionally,

Renal pericytes: regulators of medullary blood flow [PDF]
Regulation of medullary blood flow (MBF) is essential in maintaining normal kidney function. Blood flow to the medulla is supplied by the descending vasa recta (DVR), which arise from the efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary glomeruli.

Mirtazapine decreases stimulatory effects of reboxetine on cortisol, adrenocorticotropin and prolactin secretion in healthy male subjects [PDF]
Reboxetine is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, whereas mirtazapine acts as an antagonist at noradrenergic alpha(2), serotonin (5-HT2), 5-HT3 and histamine H-1 receptors.

Effects of arginine vasopressin on migration and respiratory burst activity in human leukocytes
Arginine vasopressin can bind to high-affinity vasopressin V1a receptors in human leukocytes. This study aims to investigate the effects of arginine vasopressin on migration and chemotaxis of neutrophils and oxygen free radical release by human ...

Comparison of natural and artificial vasopressin deficiency: why the latter is lethal?
The transgenic mouse technology is widespread, however, untill now 22.0 % of tested null mutations was found to be lethal. The complete lack of vasopressin (AVP) resulted also in preweaning lethality.
