Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter endogenously found in the central nervous system, has recently been suggested to act as a signalling molecule in the brain having beneficial effects on cardiovascular function. This study was thus undertaken to investigate the effect of NaHS (an H2S donor) in the subfornical organ (SFO), a central nervous system site important to blood pressure regulati...

OBJECTIVES Voice and speech alternations that can occur after total thyroidectomy are usually due to recurrent or superior laryngeal nerve injury. These alterations may also be associated with other extralaryngeal factors, such as neck muscle dysfunction and scar contracture of the neck. We performed a prospective acoustic analysis on speech changes after surgery, in the absence of laryngeal ne...

Amylin, a peptide hormone secreted by pancreatic β-cells after food intake, contributes to metabolic control by regulating nutrient influx into the blood, whereas insulin promotes nutrient efflux and storage. We now report that amylin activates neurons in the subfornical organ (SFO), a structure in which the lack of a functional blood-brain barrier and the presence of a high density of amylin r...

Due to the constraint of cost and size for mobile wireless communication terminals, many orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based systems required the same crystal driving the sampling and the channel frequencies, which leads to the challenge of a more comprehensive sampling clock synchronization scheme needed. In this article, the effect of sampling clock error on the system per...

Residual carrier frequency offset (CFO) and sampling frequency offset (SFO) in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission result in loss of orthogonality between the subcarriers, which severely degrades system performance. This makes effective CFO and SFO estimation methods essential for such systems. In this work, we address the joint estimation of CFO and SFO, focusing on ...

The phenomenon of water intake reduction during the 1(st) day of hypobaric hypoxia has been known for a long time. However, the reason for the same is yet unknown. The transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels, including TRPV1 and TRPV4, are located in the subfornical organ (SFO). These are calcium permeable cationic channels gated by various stimuli such as cell swelling, low pH, ...

Hepcidin, which is mainly produced by the liver, is the key regulator in iron homeostasis. Hepcidin expression is up-regulated by iron loading in vivo, but the mechanism underlying this process is not completely understood. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism, following the hypothesis that hepcidin production in response to iron loading is regulated by extra-hepatic iron sensors...

Agonist activation of cytosolic Ca21 in subfornical organ cells projecting to the supraoptic nucleus. Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol 280: R1592–R1599, 2001.— The subfornical organ (SFO) is sensitive to both ANG II and ACh, and local application of these agents produces dipsogeni...

In order to assess the sunflower oil (SFO) oxidative stability that was added by essential oils extracted from Lonicera japonica flower buds (LJEO) during deep-frying at 180 °C for 30 h, we clarified compound/compounds of LJEO improved SFO. The results displayed addition (0.06 g/kg) could significantly restrict elevation or reduction in levels total polar compounds (TPC), thiobarbituric acid (T...

Workload prediction is essential in cloud data centers (CDCs) for establishing scalability and resource elasticity. However, the workload accuracy center could be better due to noise, redundancy, low performance prediction. This paper designs a hierarchical tree-based deep convolutional neural network (T-CNN) model with sheep flock optimization (SFO) enhance CDCs’ power efficiency The kernel me...
