Although the model of cerebral hypoperfusion in rats has been a matter of many investigations over the years, the exact intracellular and biochemical mechanisms that lead to neuron loss and memory decline have not been ...

We studied the effect of HCMV (AD-169) on the regulation of PAR1 reporter activity in HUVEC. In HUVEC, HCMV significantly induced activation of PAR1 reporter constructs carrying AP-2-like and two complexes of AP-2/Sp1-binding ...

The aim of this study was to examine whether the thermogenic potential of rat interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) changes in response to acute and/or chronic exposure to non-thermal stressors (immobilization and ...

In the present study, we examined gross changes in the mass of whole adrenal glands and that of the adrenal cortex and medulla in mature male Wistar rats subjected to three different stress types: acute, chronic, and ...

Interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) is an energy storing organ involved in the maintenance of homeostasis in stress conditions when the balance of energy supplies is disturbed. The major regulator of IBAT activity ...

It is well known that antidepressants affect central monoaminergic neurotransmission and that they also modulate hormone release in peripheral tissues. Repeated maprotiline (a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor) and fluoxetine ...
