Background: Arterial hypertension and, less often, postural hypotension are frequently associated with diabetes mellitus, and with diabetic complications and death.Aim: To review data on the relationship between hypertension ...

In primary cultures of mesencephalon small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (SK) are expressed in dopaminergic neurons. We characterized SK-mediated currents (ISK) in this system and evaluated their role ...

Fencamfamine (FCF) is a CNS stimulant that facilitates central dopaminergic transmission primarily through blockade of dopamine uptake. In the present study we evaluated the relationship between plasma FCF concentration ...

Ethanol abuse potential is mainly due to its reinforcing properties, crucial in the transition from the recreational to pathological use. These properties are mediated by mesocorticolimbic and nigrostriatal dopaminergic ...

Core body temperature is a result from the balance between heat production and heat dissipation, and it is regulated within a narrow rangeregardless of changes in ambient temperature. Projections from the POA to the ...

Abstract: Midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons are slow pacemakers that maintain extracellular DA levels. During the interspike intervals, subthreshold slow depolarization underlies autonomous pacemaking and determines its ...

Previous work indicates that peptide neurotensin inhibits synaptosomal membrane Na+, K+-ATPase activity. Anatomical and biochemical evidences indicate a relationship between neurotensinergic and dopaminergic systems and ...
