Acute effect of an infusion of Montanoa tomentosa on despair-like behavior and activation of oxytocin hypothalamic cells in Wistar rats

Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, 2020
Background and aim: In Mexican traditional medicine, Montanoa tomentosa (Mt) has been used as a remedy for reproductive impairments and mood swings. In pre-clinical research, both the extract and some of its active metabolites have produced oxytocinergic-

Central administered xenin induced Fos expression in nesfatin-1 neurons in rats

Brain Research Bulletin, 2023
Xenin is a 25-amino acid peptide identified in human gastric mucosa, which is widely expressed in peripheral and central tissues. It is known that the central or peripheral administration of xenin decreases food intake in rodents.

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and oxytocin-expression in the adult and mouse cerebellum [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Many studies are in the literature on the ANP and oxytocin-presence in the brain, but very few studies with controversial results are reported on the presence of these peptides in the cerebellum. This immunohistochemical study investigates on

Measuring spike coding in the rat supraoptic nucleus

The Journal of Physiology, 2004
Measuring spike coding objectively is essential to establish whether activity recorded under one set of conditions is truly different from that recorded under another set of conditions. However, there is no generally accepted method for making such comparisons. Measuring firing frequency alone only partially reflects spike patterning.

The pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide receptor and its splice variants: Unique roles in affective and motivated behavior

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a pleiotropic neuropeptide with established roles in stress, affective behavior, and motivated behavior. Its primary receptor in the brain, the PACAP type I receptor (PAC1), has multiple variants due to alternative splicing of the gene, and these variants have been found to have ...

Type III CD38 is present in the membrane of neurosecretory vesicles and has a cytosol‐facing catalytic domain in primate oxytocin neurons

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract CD38, an ADP‐ribosyl cyclase that generates cyclic ADP‐ribose (cADPR), is essential for Ca2+‐dependent oxytocin release. However, its subcellular localisation and membrane topology within oxytocin neurones have remained unclear. We investigated the distribution and orientation of CD38 in oxytocin‐producing neurones of Japanese macaques (Macaca

SRC-1 Regulates Blood Pressure and Aortic Stiffness in Female Mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Framingham Heart Study suggests that dysfunction of steroid receptor coactivator-1 may be involved in the development of hypertension. However, there is no functional evidence linking steroid receptor coactivator-1 to the regulation of blood pressure. We

Identification of a novel protein containing two C2 domains selectively expressed in the rat brain and kidney [PDF]

, 1996
We have isolated and characterized a rat brain cDNA clone which encodes a new protein of 474 amino acids in length which contains two C2 domains structurally homologous to those present in synaptotagmins.

Sex differences in neuromodulatory subcortical systems and their implications for Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Neuromodulatory subcortical systems (NSSs) are uniquely susceptible to dementia‐related pathology, leading to frequent molecular and behavioral impairments associated with altered function of these nuclei. Some of these systems display clear sex‐specific cytoarchitecture and signaling leading to distinct physiology and behavioral outputs in ...
