Melatonin modulates baroreflex control via area postrema
Pineal gland and its hormone melatonin have been implicated in modulation of cardiovascular system. We aimed at studying the effects of melatonin on baroreflex sensitivity and the role of area postrema, as a component modulator of baroreflex arch. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded in conscious freely moving rats. Baroreceptor reflex sensitivity was assessed by deter...
متن کاملMelatonin modulates visual function and cell viability in the mouse retina via the MT1 melatonin receptor.
A clear demonstration of the role of melatonin and its receptors in specific retinal functions is lacking. The present study investigated the distribution of MT1 receptors within the retina, and the scotopic and photopic electroretinograms (ERG) and retinal morphology in wild-type (WT) and MT1 receptor-deficient mice. MT1 receptor transcripts were localized in photoreceptor cells and in some in...
متن کاملVisfatin regulates genes related to lipid metabolism in porcine adipocytes.
Visfatin is a visceral adipose tissue-specific adipocytokine that plays a positive role in attenuating insulin resistance by binding to the insulin receptor. Visfatin has been suggested to play a role in the regulation of lipid metabolism and inflammation; however, the mechanism remains unclear. We investigated the effects of visfatin on the regulation of gene expression in cultured porcine pre...
متن کاملWolbachia Modulates Lipid Metabolism in Aedes albopictus Mosquito Cells
UNLABELLED Certain strains of the intracellular endosymbiont Wolbachia can strongly inhibit or block the transmission of viruses such as dengue virus (DENV) by Aedes mosquitoes, and the mechanisms responsible are still not well understood. Direct infusion and liquid chromatography-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry-based lipidomics analyses were conducted using...
متن کاملRole of melatonin and its receptors in the vertebrate retina.
Melatonin is a chemical signal of darkness that is produced by retinal photoreceptors and pinealocytes. In the retina, melatonin diffuses from the photoreceptors to bind to specific receptors on a variety of inner retinal neurons to modify their activity. Potential target cells for melatonin in the inner retina are amacrine cells, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, and ganglion cells. Melatonin i...
