Active deformation in Alborz range is due to N-S convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This paper provides geomorphic traces of regional deformation in NW Iran in order to characterize active faulting on major faults. Soltanieh and North Zanjan fault systems are involved in convergence boundary extent between South Caspian Basin and Central Iran. Soltanieh and North Zanjan faults are major re...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastrointestinal symptoms and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction are frequently observed in patients with major depression. The primary aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between HPA-axis function and self-perceived functional gastrointestinal symptoms in major depression. METHODS Patients with major depression (n = 73) and controls represe...

objective(s) the mechanism(s) by which antidepressants regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis remain elusive. the endocannabinoid system (ecbs) which exhibits antidepressant potential, appears to regulate the hpa axis activity. therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of the ecbs in the action of doxepin including its effect on the hpa axis. materials and methods male wistar ...

Abstract To address the challenges in fault location distribution networks, of magnetic field under overhead line and its relationship with three-phase currents are explored this paper. At same time, considering influence sensor installation position, sag galloping on field, a grounding method an based dual-axis trajectory is proposed. The analytical expressions x -axis y obtained by least squa...

BACKGROUND Eating disorders (ED) are classified into Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and eating disorder not otherwise specified. Prospectively, the diagnostic instability within ED is high, but it is not clear which factors may account for this instability. So far, there is no evidence of whether psychiatric comorbidity may play a role in ED diagnostic crossover. We sought to determine poss...

We report new radio continuum observations with an angular resolution of 2 ′′ .1 at 1.4 GHz (20 cm) and 0 ′′ .28 at 8.4 GHz (3.6 cm), of the barred galaxy NGC 3367. In the map at 1.4 GHz, the central nuclear region connects to the SW lobe, with a projected structure of at a position angle of P.A.∼ 230 • , forming a jet-like structure. The map at 8.4 GHz shows a compact unresolved source (smalle...

UNLABELLED Results on hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function in fibromyalgia are heterogeneous and studies that integrate psychological and biological mechanisms in the search for pathways to fibromyalgia are rare. The goal of the study was to evaluate cortisol release and HPA axis feedback regulation in fibromyalgia and its association with psychopathology and pain. Beneath assessme...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to explore the differences in serum CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, ACTH and cortisol among patients with major depressive disorder with or without metabolic syndrome (MS) compared to a healthy control group. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The MDD study group consisted of 80 patients (mean age of 50.03±9.55 years). The control group was recruited from the hospital personne...

introduction: numerous studies have demonstrated that kisspeptin, a peptide from the kiss1 gene, plays an important role in regulating the secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh). also, there is some evidence suggesting that kisspeptin can interact with other neuropeptides for the control of the reproductive axis. in the present study, we have investigated the effect of central admin...

nimodipine, an l-type calcium channel blocker, can induce analgesia. however, it is not clear that this analgesic effect is at the level of spinal or supraspinal pain pathway. in addition, it has been reported that the analgesic effect of nifedipine, another l-type calcium channel blocker is related to the hpa axis, but there is no report indicating the role of this axis in the analgesic effect...
