(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1997-11-01)
Neuroendocrine challenge studies are frequently used to study the pathophysiology of psychiatric illnesses and the effects of psychotropic drug treatment on brain monoamine function. Moclobemide, a reversible inhibitor of ...
Metabolically healthy obese individuals present similar chronic inflammation level but less insulin-resistance than obese individuals with metabolic syndrome
(Public Library of Science, 2017-12)
The Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, usually accompanied by the presence of insulin resistance (IR) and a systemic subclinical inflammation state. Metabolically healthy obese (MHO) ...
Neural activity changes to emotional stimuli in healthy individuals under chronic use of clomipramine
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2010)
Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies examined neural activity responses to emotive stimuli in healthy individuals after acute/subacute administration of antidepressants. We now report the effects ...
