Manipulation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase within the paraventricular nucleus using adenovirus and antisense technology.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is characterized by impaired cardiovascular reflexes and increased neurohumoral drive. The long-term sympatho-excitation increases the progression and risk of mortality during CHF. The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus is a very important central site for integration of sympathetic outflow and cardiovascular function. Within the PVN, nitric oxide (...
متن کاملYawning: role of hypothalamic paraventricular nitric oxide.
Yawning is a phylogenetically old, stereotyped event that occurs alone or associated with stretching and/or penile erection in humans, in animals from reptiles to birds and mammals, under different conditions. Several neurotransmitters and neuropeptides are involved in its control at the central level. One of these at the level of the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVHN) is nitric oxide ...
متن کاملProlactin promotes oxytocin and vasopressin release by activating neuronal nitric oxide synthase in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei.
Prolactin (PRL) stimulates the secretion of oxytocin (OXT) and arginine AVP as part of the maternal adaptations facilitating parturition and lactation. Both neurohormones are under the regulation of nitric oxide. Here, we investigate whether the activation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system mediates the effect of PRL on OXT and AVP release and wh...
متن کاملdystrophin-associated protein complex and neuronal nitric oxide synthase expression in the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei
DP71 is the major cerebral dystrophin isoform and exerts its multiple functions via the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC), also comprised of b-dystroglycan (b-DG) and a1-syntrophin (a1-Syn). Since DP71 disruption leads to impairment in the central control of the osmoregulatory axis, we investigated: 1) the DAPC composition in the hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricu...
متن کاملAltered GABAA α5 subunit expression in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus of hypertensive and pregnant rats
A characteristic of both hypertension and pregnancy is increased sympathetic nerve activity. The level of sympathetic activation is determined, in part, by a tonic GABAergic inhibition arising from the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). In hypertension, decreases in GABAergic inhibition and increases in glutamatergic excitation within the PVN contribute to this sympatho-excitation. In ...
