Abstract

Responses of central noradrenergic (NE) neurons to stressors like immobilization (IMO), cold exposure, insulin-induced hypoglycemia, and cellular glucoprivation caused by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) were investigated in intact and long-term repeatedly immobilized (LTR, 2 h daily IMO for 41 days) rats. Expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), norepinephrine transporter (NET) and vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) genes were determined by using in situ hybridization histochemistry in brainstem A1, A2, A5 and locus coeruleus (LC) neurons. TH mRNA levels were increased by single IMO or 2-DG administration in all areas studied. Cold was effective only in LC and A2 neurons while insulin had no effect. LTR immobilization elevated TH mRNA levels in all investigated cell groups. These elevations were equally high to those elicited by a single IMO in each noradrenergic group, except the LC where LTR IMO was less effective than the single IMO. The levels of NET and VMAT2 mRNAs were elevated only in the A1 and A2 cell groups of LTR IMO rats. A newly applied IMO in LTR rats did not alter TH, NET, and VMAT2 mRNA levels in any NE cell group investigated. Novel stressors like cold and 2-DG exaggerated the increased TH mRNA levels only in the...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
