Objective(s): In the present study the effect of stress on monkeys that had learned to retrieve food from a five-chamber receptacle, as well as the relationship between their behavior and the serum cortisol and epinephrine levels and relative size of the amygdala was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Six male rhesus monkeys were individually given access to the food reward orderly. They could e...

The combination of graphene and nickel oxide nanoparticles yields nanostructured electrochemical sensor formed a novel kind of structurally uniform and electrocatalytic activity material. In cyclic voltammetry studies, in the presence of epinephrine, nickel oxide / graphene  composite modified electrode shows a significantly higher current response for epinephrine oxidation. Based on differenti...

The effect of epinephrine on triacylglycerol secretion was investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. The effect appeared at concentrations of more than 1 µM and reached a plateau at 10 µM. Epinephrine concentration for half of the maximal bioeffect (EC50) was about 1 µM. Epineplrrine at a concentration of 10 µM suppressed triacylglycerol secretion by 33% and increased its cellular content b...

Background: Many efforts are made to find new and more effective treatments for psoriasis. Intralesional 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) +epinephrine is a cheap option which can be administered with long intervals. The effectiveness of Pulse Dye Laser (PDL) on psoriasis has been already assessed. We decided to evaluate the effectiveness of 5-FU+epinephrine and compare it to betamethasone and PDL.</...

introduction: ghrelin is a potent orexigenic agent in rodents and humans. some studies have shown that ghrelin participates in the adaptive response to weight loss and plasma concentration of ghrelin rises with dieting. on the other hand, weight loss and fasting is accompanied by increased levels of epinephrine and cortisol. in this study, we investigated the effects of epinephrine and cortisol...

introduction: several researches have reported that stress is able to inhibit the development of morphine tolerance via activating of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis. in the present study we tried to examine the effect of epinephrine, the product of adrenal medulla, on the development of morphine tolerance. methods: analgesic tolerance was induced by intrathecal (i.t.) injection of mo...
