Hyperglycemic effect of neurotensin.

Hyperglycemic effect of neurotensin.

Mechanisms of hyperglycemic action of neurotensin were investigated in anesthetized dogs. The intravenous administration of neurotensin 1.0 microgram/kg for 5 min induced an immediate decrease in arterial blood pressure and increases in levels of blood glucose, glucagon and insulin. Although blood levels of glucagon and insulin were greatly reduced and not elevated by neurotensin in the presenc...

Neurotensin Modulates the Migratory and Inflammatory Response of Macrophages under Hyperglycemic Conditions

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are characterized by an unsatisfactory inflammatory and migratory response. Skin inflammation involves the participation of many cells and particularly macrophages. Macrophage function can be modulated by neuropeptides; however, little is known regarding the role of neurotensin (NT) as a modulator of macrophages under inflammatory and hyperglycemic conditions. RAW 26...

Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors Mediate the Gastroprotective Effect of Neurotensin

Objective(s) Several lines of evidence indicate that neuropeptides exhibit protective properties against gastroduodenal ulcers. Neurotensin, a gut-brain neuropeptide, is implicated in a number of physiological processes in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues including gastrointestinal tract. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the gastroprotective potential of either p...

effect of oral presentation on development of l2 learners grammar

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...
