Physiology and pharmacology of corticothalamic stimulation-evoked responses in rat somatosensory thalamic neurons in vitro.
Whole cell current- and voltage-clamp recording techniques were employed in a rat thalamocortical slice preparation to characterize corticothalamic stimulation-evoked responses in thalamic neurons. Three types of corticothalamic stimulation-evoked responses were observed in thalamic neurons. Of thalamic neurons, 57% responded to corticothalamic stimulation with purely excitatory synaptic respon...
متن کاملPhysiology, pharmacology, and topography of cholinergic neocortical oscillations in vitro.
Rat neocortical brain slices generated rhythmic extracellular field [microelectroencephalogram (micro-EEG)] oscillations at theta frequencies (3-12 Hz) when exposed to pharmacological conditions that mimicked endogenous ascending cholinergic and GABAergic inputs. Use of the specific receptor agonist and antagonist carbachol and bicuculline revealed that simultaneous muscarinic receptor activati...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid exposure in late gestation in the rat permanently programs gender-specific differences in adult cardiovascular and metabolic physiology.
Glucocorticoid overexposure in utero may underlie the association between low birth weight and subsequent development of common cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies. Previously, we have shown that prenatal dexamethasone (DEX) exposure in rat reduces birth weight and programs the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia in adult males and hypertension in adult m...

Glucocorticoid overexposure in utero may underlie the association between low birth weight and subsequent development of common cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies. Previously, we have shown that prenatal dexamethasone (DEX) exposure in rat reduces birth weight and programmes the hypothalamic-pituitary-axis (HPA) and fasting and postprandial hyperglycaemia in adult males and hypertension i...
متن کاملLong-term hypoxia increases leptin receptors and plasma leptin concentrations in the late-gestation ovine fetus.
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that long-term hypoxia (LTH) increases fetal plasma leptin and fetal adipose or placental leptin expression and alters hypothalamic and adrenocortical leptin receptor (OB-R) expression. Pregnant ewes were maintained at high altitude (3,820 m) from day 30 to approximately 130 days of gestation. Reduced Po2 was maintained in the laboratory by nitroge...
