Central glucocorticoid receptors modulate the expression and function of spinal NMDA receptors after peripheral nerve injury.
Central glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) and NMDA receptors (NMDARs) have been shown to play a significant role in the mechanisms of neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury; however, how central GRs and NMDARs interact in this process remains unknown. Here we show that the expression and function of spinal NMDARs after peripheral nerve injury were modulated by central GRs. Chronic constric...
متن کاملMitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channels modulate cardiac mitochondrial function.
Discovered in the cardiac sarcolemma, ATP-sensitive K+(KATP) channels have more recently also been identified within the inner mitochondrial membrane. Yet the consequences of mitochondrial KATP channel activation on mitochondrial function remain partially documented. Therefore, we isolated mitochondria from rat hearts and used K+ channel openers to examine the effect of mitochondrial KATPchanne...
متن کاملPeripheral benzodiazepine receptors and mitochondrial function.
For over 20 years, numerous investigations have focused on elucidating the function of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR). This relatively small protein (18kDa) arouses great interest because of its association with numerous biological functions, including the regulation of cellular proliferation, immunomodulation, porphyrin transport and heme biosynthesis, anion transport, regulation...
متن کاملMineralocorticoid receptors modulate vascular endothelial function in human obesity.
Obesity increases linearly with age and is associated with impaired vascular endothelial function and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. MRs (mineralocorticoid receptors) contribute to impaired vascular endothelial function in cardiovascular disease; however, their role in uncomplicated human obesity is unknown. Because plasma aldosterone levels are elevated in obesity and adipocytes may...
متن کاملForebrain glucocorticoid receptors modulate anxiety-associated locomotor activation and adrenal responsiveness.
Stress potently modulates anxiety- and depression-related behaviors. In response to stressors, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is activated, resulting in the release of glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex. These hormones act peripherally to restore homeostasis but also feed back to the CNS to control the intensity and duration of the stress response. Glucocorticoids act in lim...
