Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion Associated with Pramipexole in a Patient with Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) can be caused by a variety of drugs. Dopaminergic drugs might enhance the secretion of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin by reducing γ-amino butyric acid release through the

Cells can release the free amino acid taurine through volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs), and it has been hypothesized that taurine released from glial cells is capable of inhibiting action potential (AP) firing by activating neuronal glycine ...

Relative number and distribution of murine hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin neurons innervating distinct target sites. [PDF]
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons send projections widely throughout the brain consistent with their role in regulating numerous homeostatic processes and mediating analgesia and reward.

Fluorescent visualization of oxytocin in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system
Oxytocin (OXT) is well known for its ability to the milk ejection reflex and uterine contraction. It is also involved in several other behaviors, such as anti-nociception, anxiety, feeding, social recognition and stress responses.

The organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis and subfornical organ: regulation of thirst
Thirst and water intake are regulated by the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT) and subfornical organ (SFO), located around the anteroventral third ventricle, which plays a critical role in sensing dynamic changes in sodium and water ...

Topographical development of the supraoptic nucleus of the rat.
Topographical changes in the development of the principal part of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the rat were studied by analyzing its tridimensional images, from the intrauterine to the senescent stage. Evaluation of the growth rate of the SON was also made possible by this procedure.

PIP2 alters Ca2+ currents in acutely dissociated supraoptic oxytocin neurons
Magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) occupying the supraoptic nucleus (SON) contain voltage‐gated Ca2+ channels that provide Ca2+ for triggering vesicle release, initiating signaling pathways, and activating channels, such as the potassium channels ...

Secretin is a 27-amino acid brain-gut peptide from duodenal S-cells. We tested the effects of systemic administration of secretin to simulate its postprandial release on neuroendocrine neurons of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) in urethane-anesthetized ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide secretion during development of the rat supraoptic nucleus
Since a relationship between atrial natriuretic peptide and oxytocin was recently demonstrated in the heart (Gutkowska et al., 1997), the aim of this study was to determine whether a relationship between the two peptides is present also in the rat ...
