  2. .../L). Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive sleepiness that can be or not associated with cataplexy (reduced muscle tonus without loss of consciousness) and hallucinations. The mechanism of narcolepsy is attributed to the decrease in the concentration of hypocretin, a neuropeptide responsible...

A baseline control group (nZ7) was sacrificed at vector...
  4. ...that there are other sources for synthesizing 5-MIAA. In this study, a radioimmunoassay (RIA) has been developed in our laboratories for the analysis of 5-MIAA, used to measure the regional distribution of IR 5-MIAA levels in the rat brain: hypothalamus, mid-brain, cortex, cerebellum, and hind-brain. Rats were adapted...
  5. ...understanding of the physiological systems that regulate food intake and body weight has increased immensely over the past decade. Brain centres, including the hypothalamus, brainstem and reward centres, signal via neuropeptides which regulate energy homeostasis. Insulin and hormones synthesized by adipose...

  9. ...and cancer. In this review, we will summarize the recent findings of adipose tissue in the control of metabolism, focusing on its endocrine and thermogenic function. Introduction Adipose tissue, which is primarily composed of adipocytes as well as pre-adipocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts...

Specifically, it has been indicated that peripheral (stomach) AG could act via vagus nerve to increase GHRH and neuropeptide Y (NPY) release, while centrally (hypothalamus) injected AG stimulates GHRH secretion and antagonizes somatostatin (SST...
