Mapping neuronal inputs to Kiss1 neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the mouse.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The normal function of the mammalian reproductive axis is strongly influenced by physiological, metabolic and environmental factors. Kisspeptin neuropeptides, encoded by the Kiss1 gene, are potent regulators of the mammalian reproductive axis by ...

Immunohistochemical Localization of AT1a, AT1b, and AT2 Angiotensin II Receptor Subtypes in the Rat Adrenal, Pituitary, and Brain with a Perspective Commentary

International Journal of Hypertension, 2013
Angiotensin II increases blood pressure and stimulates thirst and sodium appetite in the brain. It also stimulates secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal zona glomerulosa and epinephrine from the adrenal medulla.

The expression pattern of the Na+ sensor, NaX in the hydromineral homeostatic network: a comparative study between the rat and mouse

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2012
The Scn7a gene encodes for the specific sodium channel NaX, which is considered a primary determinant of sodium sensing in the brain. Only partial data exist describing the NaX distribution pattern and the cell types that express NaX in both the rat and ...

Severe food restriction activates the central renin angiotensin system

Physiological Reports, 2020
We previously showed that 2 weeks of a severe food restricted (sFR) diet (40% of the caloric intake of the control (CT) diet) up‐regulated the circulating renin angiotensin (Ang) system (RAS) in female Fischer rats, most likely as a result of the fall in

Subfornical organ and cardiovascular influences on identified septal neurons

, 1988
We have identified, in urethan-anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats, a polysynaptic pathway connecting the subfornical organ (SFO) with the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) with a relay neuron in the medial septum-diagonal band of Broca (MS-DBB ...

Atrial natriuretic factor antagonises angiotensin II--induced vasopressin release in rat subfornical organ

, 1994
The coexistence of Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) and Angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors in the subfornical organ suggested that ANF may influence the action of Ang II at this level. To test this hypothesis the effect of ANF pre injected into subfornical

Mechanisms of hemodynamic responses to electrical stimulation of subfornical organ

, 1986
The rat subfornical organ (SFO) is involved in the pressor response to circulating angiotensin II, and recent evidence indicates that SFO electrical stimulation also produces a pressor response.

A Single Angiotensin II Hypertensive Stimulus Is Associated with Prolonged Neuronal and Immune System Activation in Wistar-Kyoto Rats

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Activation of autonomic neural pathways by chronic hypertensive stimuli plays a significant role in pathogenesis of hypertension. Here, we proposed that even a single acute hypertensive stimulus will activate neural and immune pathways that may be ...

Targeted Ablation of Distal Cerebrospinal Fluid-Contacting Nucleus Alleviates Renal Fibrosis in Chronic Kidney Disease

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The potential function of distal cerebrospinal fluid-contacting nucleus (dCSF-CNs) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) development is poorly understood.

TMEM63B channel is the osmosensor required for thirst drive of interoceptive neurons

Cell Discovery
Thirst plays a vital role in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis and if deregulated can be life-threatening. Interoceptive neurons in the subfornical organ (SFO) are intrinsically osmosensitive and their activation by hyperosmolarity is necessary ...
