Pimozide was compared with carbamazepine in a double-blind crossover trial 48 patients trigeminal neuralgia who were refractory to medical therapy. treatment produced greater reduction symptoms than treatment. All of the pimozide-treated improved, while only 56% carbamazepine-treated relieved their pain. Although both drugs provoked some adverse effects, it not necessary interrupt any case. After this 24-week trial, all began receiving pimozide and followed up according an open-label study...
Dietary tannins can affect protein digestion and absorption, be toxic, influence food selection by being astringent bitter tasting. Animals that usually ingest may regularly secrete tannin‐binding salivary proteins (TBSPs) to counteract the negative effects of or TBSPs production induced a tannin‐rich diet. In wild, many primates eat diet contains leaves unripe fruit it has been speculated they have physiological ability cope with dietary tannins; however, details their strategy remains...
In May and June 2024, a die-off of Mexican mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata mexicana) occurred in southern Mexico. This commentary documents the event, attributing it to extreme heatwaves, drought, wildfires, habitat impoverishment. Despite their reported resilience disturbances, monkey mortality rate some areas reached 31%. Key evidence points heatstroke as primary cause death, exacerbated by limited hydration reduced dietary diversity disturbed habitats. Immediate responses...
Helodermin is a new peptide isolated from the venom of Heloderma suspectum. Its effects on rat pancreatic acini were compared with those secretin and vasoactive intestinal (VIP). Four classes receptors decreasing affinity for (S1, S2, S3, S4) first delineated. Occupancy S1 S2 by was responsible biphasic adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) response. S3 VIP preferring so that VIP-induced increase in cAMP could be inhibited VIP-(10 --28). allowed elevation, protein phosphorylation, weak...
Background Saliva contains a very complex mixture of proteins for defense against microbiological pathogens and oral food perception. Howler monkeys are Neotropical primates that can consume mostly leaf diet. They well known to thrive in highly disturbed habitats where they may cope with diversity dietary challenges infection risks. We aimed describe the salivary proteome howlers contribute better understanding their physiology. Methods analyzed wild black howler ( Alouatta pigra ), by...
Abstract SARS‐CoV‐2 can infect pets under natural conditions, which raises questions about the risk factors related to susceptibility of these animals infection. The status pet infection by in Mexico is not well‐understood. We aimed estimate frequency positive household cats and dogs viral RNA antibodies for during second wave human infections Mexico, recognize major host ownership behaviour. evaluated two study groups, from COVID‐19‐infected/‐suspected households ( n = 44) those admitted...
The GABA A antagonist bicuculline, intracranially infused into the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), facilitated expression of maternal behavior (MB) in virgin Wistar female rats. Behavioral effects were observed 24 hours after infusion and injection dependent. Pheromonal stimuli, generated by pups, are thought to exert an inhibitory effect on vomeronasal nuclei involved MB present study investigated possibility that a decrement AOB output, resulting from long‐term compensatory synaptic...
Fawn-Hooded (FH) rats show central and peripheral abnormalities in serotoninergic functions have attracted attention as an animal model of some pathologies, including depression hypertension. In addition, these a reduced growth rate. As the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been implicated both hypertension, hypothalamic-somatotrophic (HSM) major role growth, two endocrine axes were characterised FH compared with outbred Sprague-Dawley (SD) basal conditions. showed normal serum...
Abstract The sensitivity to cholesterol depletion of calcium handling by rat submandibular glands was investigated. were digested with collagenase. After homogenization, the lysate extracted at 4°C 0.5% Triton X‐100 and extract submitted an ultracentrifugation in a sucrose discontinuous gradient. A population detergent‐resistant membranes (DRM) collected 5%–35% interface. DRM had higher content cholesterol, saturated long‐chain fatty acids. Caveolin‐1 α q/11 located these membranes. They...
Abstract Phenolics, like tannins, are plant‐specialized metabolites that play a protective role against herbivory. Tannins can reduce palatability and bind with proteins to digestibility, acting as deterrents feeding impacting nutrient extraction by herbivores. Some assays measure tannin total phenolics content in plants but lack determination of their biological effects, hindering the interpretation function herbivory its impacts on animal behavior ecology. In this study, we successfully...
