Methamphetamine, a highly addictive central nervous system (CNS) stimulant, is used worldwide as an anorexiant and attention enhancer. Methamphetamine use during pregnancy, even at therapeutic doses, may harm fetal development. Here, we examined whether exposure to methamphetamine affects the morphogenesis diversity of ventral midbrain dopaminergic neurons (VMDNs). The effects on morphogenesis, viability, release mediator chemicals (such ATP), expression genes involved in neurogenesis were...
Similar to leptin, resistin acts centrally increase renal sympathetic nerve activity ( RSNA ). In high‐fat fed animals, the sympatho‐excitatory effects of leptin are retained, in contrast reduced actions on dietary intake. present study, we investigated whether were influenced by a diet. Further, because and combined can induce greater response than each alone rats normal chow diet, diet (22%) could influence this centrally‐mediated interaction. Mean arterial pressure MAP) , heart rate HR)...
What is the central question of this study? Leptin and resistin act centrally to increase renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA). We investigated whether a combination leptin could induce greater response than either alone. also used Fos protein quantify number activated neurons in brain. main finding its importance? A induced RSNA hormone This was correlated with arcuate nucleus Mean arterial pressure, heart rate were recorded before for 3 h after intracerebroventricular saline (control; n...
There is considerable interest in the central actions of insulin and leptin. Both induce sympatho-excitation. This study (i) investigated whether centrally administered leptin together elicits greater increases renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA), mean arterial pressure (MAP) heart rate (HR) than when given alone, (ii) quantified number activated neurons brain regions influencing SNA, to identify potential sites interaction. In anesthetised (urethane 1.4-1.6 g/kg iv) male Sprague-Dawley...
Abstract Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can be used to derive different neural subtypes. Current differentiation protocols generate heterogeneous subtypes rather than a specific neuronal population. Here, we present protocol separate two-deep layer cortical neurons from mouse ESCs (mESCs). mESCs were differentiated into mature Tbr1 or Ctip2-positive using monolayer-based culture for induction and neurosphere-based proliferation expansion. The relies on SMAD inhibition the use of FGF2 EGF it is...
Pregabalin is widely used as a treatment for multiple neurological disorders; however, it has been reported to have the potential misuse. Due lack of safety studies in pregnancy, pregabalin considered last option various diseases, such neuropathic pain. Therefore, abuse pregnant women, even at therapeutic doses, may impair fetal development. We primary mouse embryonic neurons investigate whether exposure can morphogenesis and differentiation ventral midbrain neurons. This study focused on...
Background: Gabapentin is widely prescribed as an off-label drug for the treatment of various diseases, including and alcohol addiction. Approximately 83-95% usage gabapentin off-label, accounting more than 90% its sales in market, which indicates alarming situation abuse. Such misuse has serious negative consequences. The safety use pregnant women always been a issue, can cross placental barriers. impact on brain development fetus not sufficiently investigated, poses difficulties clinical...
Resistin and leptin are adipokines which act in the brain to regulate metabolic cardiovascular functions some instances similar, suggesting activation of common pathways. High-fat feeding can reduce number activated neurons observed following central administration animals, but effects on resistin unknown. The present work compared distribution that by centrally administered resistin, or alone, and, combination, rats fed a high fat (HFD) normal chow diet (ND). Immunohistochemistry for...
The inhibition/degradation potential of Carissa carandas proteinaceous leaf extract against mixed bacterial biofilm Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96, Escherichia coli 1304, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 741, and Klebsiella pneumoniae 109, responsible for nosocomial infections, was evaluated. Distinct by the C. observed under a microscope, it found to be 80%. For mono-species biofilm, maximum degradation 70% S. biofilm. efficiency aqueous plant extracts inhibit in terms minimum inhibitory concentration...

Poor mood, lack of pleasure, reduced focus, remorse, unpleasant thoughts, and sleep difficulties are all symptoms depression. The only approved treatment for children adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) is fluoxetine hydrochloride (FXN), a serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor antidepressant. MDD the most common cause disability worldwide. In present research, picric acid (PA); dinitrobenzene; p-nitro benzoic acid; 2,6-dichloroquinone-4-chloroimide;...
Background Leptin is a well known hormone released from fat tissue and acts centrally to influence metabolic cardiovascular functions. It increases renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) could be an important contributor the abnormally elevated RSNA observed in obesity or overweight conditions. Resistin also elicit effects on similar those of leptin. The question arises as whether resistin can enhance leptin's actions RSNA. Although brain nuclei activated by leptin are known, there has not...
We previously showed specific microglial activation within cardiovascular control centers, in the brains of streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats. Microglial PVN STZ rats was not evident until 6 th week after treatment, and preceded by neuronal associated with chronic dehydration electrolyte imbalance (1). Furthermore, giving 1% saline to drink induction diabetes increased blood pressure (BP) (2). Therefore, we sought investigate complex relationships among activation, development complications...
Insulin receptors are widely distributed in the central nervous system and their activation by insulin elicits renal sympatho-excitatory effects. Resistin, an adipokine, promotes resistance to metabolic effects of insulin. Resistin also induces increases sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) acting brain, but whether it can influence insulin's actions on RSNA is unknown. In present study we investigated, male Sprague-Dawley rats (7-8 weeks age), administration combined with resistin following a...
