Research
570-600 / 1000+ results research Modulating mechanosensory afferent excitability by an atypical mG luR
A compound named ZCZ90 can increase muscle spindle firing, potentially helping treat muscle spasms and hypertension.
research Increased levels of prostaglandin-like material in the canine blood during arterial hypotension produced by hydralazine, dihydralazine and minoxidil
These drugs raise prostaglandin-like material in dog blood, possibly causing blood vessel widening.
research SAT320 Cyclic Cushing Syndrome Caused By An ACTH-Producing Pheochromocytoma
A woman's cyclic Cushing syndrome was caused by a tumor in her adrenal gland that produced ACTH.
research Expanding the therapeutic potential of neuro(active)steroids: a promising strategy for hyperdopaminergic behavioral phenotypes
Neurosteroids may help treat disorders with too much dopamine activity.
research Compassion and suppression in caregivers: twin masks of tragedy and joy of caring
More compassion satisfaction reduces emotional exhaustion in caregivers.
research Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
research Allopregnanolone mediates the exacerbation of Tourette-like responses by acute stress in mouse models
Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone levels.
research Minoxidil overdose with hypotension effectively managed with norepinephrine, rather than dopamine
research Tackling Adverse Effects
research Empathic disequilibrium is related to lower levels of hair oxytocin in humans
research LBODP010 A Case of Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome
The patient likely has Chrousos syndrome, a rare condition causing insensitivity to glucocorticoids, requiring high-dose dexamethasone treatment.
research Overexpression of neurotrophin 4 in skin enhances myelinated sensory endings but does not influence sensory neuron number
Increasing neurotrophin 4 in skin boosts nerve endings but not sensory neuron count.
research ODP056 The Treatment of Opioid Addiction Leading to Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency
Long-term treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone for opioid addiction may lead to secondary adrenal insufficiency.
research P-017 CUSHING'S SYNDROME DUE TO PRIMARY BILATERAL MACRONODULAR ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA AND METACRONOUS PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA
A rare case of Cushing's syndrome and pheochromocytoma requires careful re-evaluation to avoid complications.
research ς1Receptor-Related Neuroactive Steroids Modulate Cocaine-Induced Reward
Neuroactive steroids affect cocaine's rewarding effects through the ς1 receptor.
research An off-the-shelf bioactive EV delivering cryogel orchestrating immunomodulatory reprogramming and angiogenesis for diabetic ulcer healing
BOOST is a promising, easy-to-use treatment for diabetic foot ulcers that improves healing by reducing inflammation and promoting blood vessel growth.
research Depletion of cortical allopregnanolone potentiates stress-induced increase in cortical dopamine output
Lower allopregnanolone levels increase stress-related dopamine release in the brain.
research Increased plasma renin by vasodilators promotes the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm
Vasodilators may worsen abdominal aortic aneurysm.
research Increased expression of the gene for the Y1 receptor of neuropeptide Y in the amygdala and paraventricular nucleus of Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice in response to restraint stress
Acute stress increases Y1 receptor gene expression in certain brain areas, but repeated stress does not.
research TSPO activation modulates the effects of high pressure in a rat ex vivo glaucoma model
Activating TSPO helps protect the retina from damage caused by high eye pressure in glaucoma.
research Conversion of C57Bl/6 mice from a tumor promotion-resistant to a -sensitive phenotype by enhanced ornithine decarboxylase expression
Increased ornithine decarboxylase makes normally tumor-resistant mice more sensitive to tumors.
research Steroidogenic response of adrenal tissues after administration of ACTH to dogs with hypercortisolemia
High adrenal sex hormones in dogs with hypercortisolemia can mislead adrenal hyperplasia diagnosis.
research Conversion of C57Bl/6 mice from a tumor promotion–resistant to a –sensitive phenotype by enhanced ornithine decarboxylase expression
Increased ODC expression makes normally tumor-resistant mice more prone to tumor development.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Hormonal Control of Cardiac Action Potential Phase 1 Currents in the Brugada Syndrome
Androgens may increase arrhythmias in Brugada Syndrome, while Finasteride could reduce them.
research Androgen-induced norepinephrine release in male accessory sex organ smooth muscle growth and differentiation
Androgens increase norepinephrine release, promoting smooth muscle growth in male sex organs, which may contribute to benign prostatic hypertrophy.
research Sensations Evoked by Microstimulation of Single Mechanoreceptive Afferents Innervating the Human Face and Mouth
Microstimulation of certain facial and mouth nerves can evoke specific sensations, while deeper nerves may require multiple stimulations to affect perception.
