Cell Protective Effect of Stress- Regulatory Peptide Urocortin in the Endogenous Adaptation Mechanisms of Myocardium

Homeostatic regulation of neuroendocrine stress by the CRF/Urocortin peptide family and their receptors

[email protected] All living organisms struggle towards maintaining a dynamic equilibrium called homeostasis. Physiological or psychological stimuli that disrupt the organism’s homeostatic equilibrium are known as stressors. The stressors trigger a series of coordinated physiological and behavioral responses, known as the stress response, aimed to enhance the probability of survival by p...

New targets of urocortin-mediated cardioprotection

The urocortin (UCN) hormones UCN1 and UCN2 have been shown previously to confer significant protection against myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying their action are poorly understood. To further define the transcriptional effect of UCNs that underpins their cardioprotective activity, a microarray analysis was carried out using an in vivo ra...

Mechanisms of vasoactive intestinal peptide-mediated vasodilation in human skin.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is known to induce histamine release in human skin and to include a nitric oxide (NO)-dependent dilation in several other vascular beds. However, the relative contribution of histamine and NO to VIP-mediated vasodilation in human skin is unknown. Forty-three subjects volunteered to participate in two studies designed to examine the mechanism of VIP-mediated v...
