Intracerebroventricular injection of orexin-A stimulates monoamine metabolism but not HPA axis in neonatal chicks.
We investigated the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of orexin-A on plasma corticosterone (CORT) concentration and brain monoamine metabolism to clarify the mechanism by which ICV orexin-A induced arousal in chicks. In Experiment 1, plasma CORT concentrations were measured as an indicator of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. There was no significant differenc...
متن کاملIntracerebroventricular injection of leukotriene B4 attenuates antigen-induced asthmatic response via BLT1 receptor stimulating HPA-axis in sensitized rats
BACKGROUND Basic and clinical studies suggest that hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is the neuroendocrine-immune pathway that functionally regulates the chronic inflammatory disease including asthma. Our previous studies showed corresponding changes of cytokines and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) between brain and lung tissues in antigen-challenged asthmatic rats. Here, we investigated how the ...
متن کاملPortal glucose delivery stimulates muscle but not liver protein metabolism.
Portal vein glucose delivery (the portal glucose signal) stimulates glucose uptake and glycogen storage by the liver, whereas portal amino acid (AA) delivery (the portal AA signal) induces an increase in protein synthesis by the liver. During a meal, both signals coexist and may interact. In this study, we compared the protein synthesis rates in the liver and muscle in response to portal or per...
متن کاملEffects of intracerebroventricular injection of neuropeptide Y on energy metabolism.
Our objective was to find out if central injection of neuropeptide Y (NPY) would alter brown fat thermogenesis and white fat lipoprotein lipase activity. The following three groups of Sprague-Dawley rats received five injections over 24 h into the right lateral ventricle: 1) NPY (5 micrograms/injection) and ad libitum food; 2) NPY (5 micrograms/injection) and food restricted to control intake; ...
متن کاملEffect of lateral cerebroventricular injection of Orexin A on swimming
Introduction: Orexin A is a hypothalamic neuropeptide, widely distributed in many parts of the central nervous system and perhaps due to this reason, this neuropeptide is involved in many physiological functions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lateral cereberoventricular injection of orexin A on distance, velocity and swimming time in rats. The results were analyzed...
