Opioids are important in reward processes leading to addictive behavior such as self-administration of opioids and other drugs of abuse including nicotine and alcohol. Opioids are also involved in a broadly distributed neural network that regulates eating behavior, affecting both homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms. In this sense, opioids are particularly implicated in the modulation of highly p...

Several lines of evidence have indicated that many nuclei in the brain including preoptic nucleus, AV3V, subfornical organ, septal area and lateral hypothalamus are the targets of efferents from chemo-sensitive and pressure-sensitive systems. These areas may concern with regulation of fluid homeostasis. In the present study, intracerebroventricular injections were carried out in all experiments...

OBJECTIVE Ionic magnesium (Mg(2+)) depletion has long been known to cause hyperexcitability with convulsive seizures in rodents, effects that have been reversed by treatment with magnesium (Mg). Metabolic disorders and genetic alterations are suspected in this pathology, in which Mg(2+) transport and intracellular distribution may be reduced without change in serum Mg(2+) concentrations. We eva...

BY AUTOMATIC FDI DESIGN Mattias Nyberg ISY, Link oping University, S-581 83 Link oping, Sweden. Fax: +46-13-282035, e-mail:[email protected] Abstract: Because of environmentally based legislative regulations, diagnosis of automotive engines has become increasingly important. In the design of diagnosis systems, it is important to strive for optimum performance and at the same time, minimize the...

Sirt1 is an evolutionarily conserved NAD(+) dependent deacetylase involved in a wide range of processes including cellular differentiation, apoptosis, as well as metabolism, and aging. In this study, we investigated the role of hypothalamic Sirt1 in energy balance. Pharmacological inhibition or siRNA mediated knock down of hypothalamic Sirt1 showed to decrease food intake and body weight gain. ...

The mobilization, storage and utilization of the different energy substrates is regulated by sensitive and very specific hormonal and neural mechanisms. Increased parasympathetic activity leads to storage of glucose and free fatty acids (FFA) while activation of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) results in the mobilization of FFA and glucose from storage tissues. The ...

Engines equipped with camless valve trains will have greater space for performance optimization. In this paper, based on the electromagnetic actuated valve train system, one-dimensional and three-dimensional simulation models on engine thermodynamic cycle and in-cylinder charge motion are established, respectively. With the application of early-intake-valve closing (EIVC) strategy，unthrottled l...

this research was conducted to study the performance of barley green fodder (bgf) yield in hydroponic system fed to fattening lambs. in a 16 week experiment, barley grain was grown in hydroponic system, during 5 and 7 days growing periods and the green fodder was included in the diet of fattening lambs, within two different feeding trials. the first trial was aimed to compare the bgf with barle...
