Androgens, brain, and behavior.
OBJECTIVES This article defines androgens (and anabolic steroids), describes their mechanisms of action, and summarizes their behavioral effects and relevance in animals and humans. METHOD A MEDLINE-derived review of the literature on androgens and behavior was performed; pivotal earlier publications were also obtained and included in the review. RESULTS In animals, the effects of androgens...
متن کاملThe neuroprotective effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin on rat brain injury caused by chronic intermittent hypoxia
Chronic intermitted hypoxia including sleep breathing disorder leads to brain injury. This study explores the potential therapeutic effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin as a neuroprotective agent. A rat model of chronic intermittent hypoxia was employed, and the animals were given low or high doses of grape seed proanthocyanidin. The ultrastructure changes in the brain, the biochemical compon...
متن کاملDifferential effects of chronic hypoxia and intermittent hypocapnic and eucapnic hypoxia on pulmonary vasoreactivity.
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) resulting from sleep apnea can lead to pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right heart failure, similar to chronic sustained hypoxia (CH). Supplemental CO(2), however, attenuates hypoxic PH. We therefore hypothesized that, similar to CH, IH elicits PH and associated increases in arterial endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression, ionomycin-dependent vasodilation,...
متن کاملChronic intermittent hypoxia induces atherosclerosis.
RATIONALE Obstructive sleep apnea, a condition leading to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), is associated with hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, and a high cardiovascular risk. A causal link between obstructive sleep apnea and atherosclerosis has not been established. OBJECTIVES The objective of the present study was to examine whether CIH may induce atherosclerosis in C57BL/6J mice. METHO...
متن کاملChronic intermittent hypoxia increases sympathetic responsiveness to hypoxia and hypercapnia.
We sought to determine whether chronic exposure to intermittent hypoxia (CIH) increases sympathetic responsiveness to subsequent chemoreflex stimulation. Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 30 days of CIH: exposure chamber %O2 [fractional concentration of chamber O2 (FcO2)] nadir 6.5-7% with return to 21% each minute for 8 h/day during the diurnal sleep period (Exp group). Sham controls (SC gro...
