Since the crucial evolutionary change from an aqueous to a terrestrial environment, all living
organisms address the primordial task of equilibrating the ingestion/production of water and …

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) can be used to induce experimental endotoxic shock, which is
characterized by a significant decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and a decreased …

Metabolic endotoxemia contributes to low-grade inflammation in obesity, which causes insulin
resistance due to the activation of intracellular proinflammatory pathways, such as the c-…

Context: Interindividual variation and tissue specificity of glucocorticoid (GC) sensitivity may
occur in healthy subjects. Objective and Participants: The objective of this study was to …

Nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) are gaseous
molecules produced by the brain. Within the hypothalamus, gaseous molecules have been …

Anxiety and salivary cortisol were measured in subjects performing simulated public
speaking (SPS), a procedure that has been neurobiologically related to panic disorder. The …

High-fat diet consumption causes hypothalamic inflammation, dysregulating the leptin
pathway, which, in turn, compromises the modulation of hypothalamic neuronal activities and …

Deficiency of 21-hydroxylase is the most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH-21OH).
We determined by allele-specific PCR the frequency of microconversion in the …

Several forebrain and brainstem neurochemical circuitries interact with peripheral neural and
humoral signals to collaboratively maintain both the volume and osmolality of extracellular …

Nitric oxide (NO) negatively modulates the secretion of vasopressin (AVP), oxytocin ( OT )
and atrial natriuretic peptide ( ANP ) induced by the increase in extracellular osmolality, …
