The central noradrenergic system plays an important role in diverse physiological functions,such as attention,mood regulation,sensory processing and motor control.
Objective Two neuropeptides,orexin-A and orexin-B,have been implicated in the modulation of neuronal firing,neurotransmitter release,sleep/wake,feeding behaviors by activating two orphan G-protein-cou
Background: Alone with nitric oxide(NO)and carbon monoxide(CO),hydrogen sulfide(H2S)is regarded as the third gasotransmitter and plays an important role in the modulation of neurogenic hypertension,dr
GDF-15 is a novel member of the transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)superfamily,which plays critical roles in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Galanin,a 29-amino acid peptide(30 in humans),is an important neuropeptide and widely distributed in the nervous systems.Galanin receptor 2(GalR2),one of the three galanin receptor subtypes,is highly
Both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors play vital roles in mediating genesis and propagation of cortical spreading depression(CSD),which is migraine aura in man and may lead to migr
The purposes of this study were to investigate the potential roles of miR-200b in regulating RMP7-induced an increase in blood-tumor barrier(BTB)permeability and its possible molecular mechanisms.Micr
Objective Myocardial ischemia(MI)can induce myocardial tissues releasing large quantity of ATP,which activated P2X2 receptor in superior cervical ganglia(SCG)and made the SCG postganglionic neurons ex
