Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus Modulates Sympathetic Excitation
Aldosterone stimulates the sympathetic nervous system by binding to a select population of brain mineralocorticoid receptors (MR). These MR have an equal affinity for corticosterone that is present in substantially higher concentrations, but are held in reserve for aldosterone by activity of the enzyme 11 -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11 -HSD-2), which converts corticosterone to an inac...
متن کاملOrexin depolarizes rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus neurons.
Orexins, also called hypocretins, are newly discovered hypothalamic peptides that are thought to be involved in various physiological functions. In spite of the fact that orexin receptors, especially orexin receptor 2, are abundant in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), the effects of orexins on PVN neurons remain unknown. Using a whole cell patch-clamp recording technique, we inves...
متن کاملLeptin depolarizes rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus neurons.
Leptin, the protein product of the ob/ obgene, is thought to have a central site of action, presumably within the hypothalamus, through which it regulates feeding behavior. The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is one structure that has been implicated in regulating feeding behavior. Using patch-clamp recording techniques, this study examines the direct membrane effects of leptin on neurons in a co...
متن کاملCentral administration of resistin into the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) produces significant cardiovascular responses
Introduction: Resistin, a complex multimeric structure which is secreted by adipose tissue and circulates in the blood, acts on the hypothalamus to increase sympathetic nerve activity, inhibit appetite and is associated with obesity, insulin resistance and cardiovascular disorders. In this study, we survey the cardiovascular effects of direct injection of resistin into specific cell group of th...
متن کاملInfluence of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on heart rate variability (HRV) in rat hearts via electronic lesion.
Previous literatures have indicated that hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons are important for regulating the level of sympathetic and vagal nervous activity. Sympathovagal balance is closely related to heart rate variability (HRV). However, it still requires further elucidation regarding the effect of PVN on HRV by regulating sympathovagal balance. To detect the influence of the...
