Background: Aberrant sympathetic nerve activity exacerbates cardiovascular risk in hypertension
and diabetes, which are common comorbidities, yet clinically sympathetic nerve activity …

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a neurohypophysial hormone regulating hydromineral
homeostasis. Here we show that the mRNA encoding cAMP responsive element-binding protein-3 …

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted virus that has caused significant public health
concerns around the world, partly because of an association with microcephaly in babies born …

Salt loading (SL) and water deprivation (WD) are experimental challenges that are often
used to study the osmotic circuitry of the brain. Central to this circuit is the supraoptic nucleus (…

While several studies have shown a role for autophagy in the replication of dengue virus (DENV),
these studies have been performed in directly infected cells. However, in severe cases …

This study has examined whether the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) plays a role in control
of stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1), the dominant calcium regulatory hormone of fish, comparable …

The Na-K-2Cl cotransporter 2 (NKCC2) was thought to be kidney specific. Here we show
expression in the brain hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system (HNS), wherein upregulation …

The hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus (SON) is a core osmoregulatory control centre that
deciphers information about the metabolic state of the organism and orchestrates appropriate …

Background Arginine vasopressin (AVP), a neuropeptide hormone that functions in the
regulation of water homeostasis by controlling water re-absorption at kidneys, is synthesised in …

Introduction: Water homoeostasis is achieved by secretion of the peptide hormones arginine
vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT) that are synthesized by separate populations of …
