Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that develops after a psychological trauma usually caused by a situation perceived as deeply threatening to a person's life or integrity. Complex neurobiological changes triggered by such a traumatic and stressful experience may explain a wide range of PTSD symptoms and provide the rationale for psychopharmacological treatment. Sele...

In order to study the aging changes of intramitochondrial DNA synthesis of mouse adrenal cells, 8 groups of developing ddY mice, each consisting of 3 individuals, total 24, from fetal day 19 to postnatal newborn at day 1, 3, 9, 14, adult at month 1, 2 and 6, were injected with 3H-thymidine, sacrificed 1 hr later and the liver tissues were fixed and processed for electron microscopic radioautogr...

Acute hemorrhagic gastroduodenal ulcers are frequently induced by various types of stress. With the purpose of studying the central nervous system factors and gastric mucosal local factors involved in the development of such ulcers, Wistar strain rats were subjected to restraint and cold exposure for 120 minutes, and the intragastric pH, and the noradrenarin, 5-hydroxytryptamine and histamine c...

Amaç: Antidepresanlar reseptör özelliklerine göre kardiak otonomik sinir sistemi işleyişi üzerine farklı etkiler gösterebilir. Bu nedenle farklı gruplardaki antidepresanların değişen boyutlarda kardiak değerleri etkilemesi beklenebilir. Bu çalışma bir serotonin ve noradrenalin geri alım inhibitörü olan venlafaksin ile bir seçici noradrenalin geri alım inhibitörü olan reboksetinin elektrokardiyo...

PURPOSE Specific anthocyanin-rich dietary factors have been shown to improve metabolic functions associated with thermogenesis in animal studies. Aronia melanocarpa, commonly known as wild chokeberry, contains a high level of anthocyanin that would be expected to maintain body temperature through thermogenesis. We here investigated the effects of Aronia melanocarpa extracts on body temperature ...

For the purpose of clarifying the aging changes of DNA synthesis of mouse mitochondria in adrenal medullary cells, 10 groups of aging mice, each consisting of 3 individuals, total 30, from fetal day 19 to postnatal newborn at day 1, 3, 9, 14, adult at month 1, 2, 6, 12 and 24, were injected with 3 H-thymidine, sacrificed 1 hr later and the adrenal tissues were fixed and processed for electron m...

All animals constantly negotiate external with internal demands before and during action selection. Energy homeostasis is a major internal factor biasing action selection. For instance, in addition to physiologically regulating carbohydrate mobilization, starvation-induced sugar shortage also biases action selection toward food-seeking and food consumption behaviors (the counter-regulatory resp...

case presentation: Male, 57 years old. Until one week before admission had asymptomatic history, no angina or CHF symptoms. In the last week described complaints of upper respiratory symptoms with influenza-like fever. Risk factors: Dyslipidemia, NIDDM, smoker. The patient arrived to the ER with severe dyspnea a week after initial symptoms. Extensive anterior wall MI was diagnosed. Echocardiogr...

The interaction of adrenergic agonists and/or antagonists with the adrenergic receptors expressed on immunologically active cells including macrophages plays an important role in regulation of inflammatory responses. Our study investigated the effects of carvedilol, a unique vasodilating beta-adrenergic antagonist, and endogenous adrenergic agonists (adrenalin, noradrenalin, and dopamine) and/o...
