Voluntary locomotor activity promotes myogenic growth potential in domestic pigs

Activation of Stat3 signaling in AgRP neurons promotes locomotor activity.

Leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, acts on hypothalamic neurons located in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus to regulate energy homeostasis. One of the leptin-regulated neuronal subtypes in the ARC are agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons, which are involved in the regulation of food intake and are directly inhibited by leptin. Leptin activates the signal transducer a...

Vestibular evoked myogenic potential : recording methods in humans and guinea pigs Summary

Vestibular evoked myogenic potential: recording methods in humans and guinea pigs.

UNLABELLED The vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a clinical test that assess the vestibular function by means of an inhibitory vestibulo-neck reflex, recorded in body muscles in response to high intensity acoustic stimuli. AIM To check and analyze the different methods used to record VEMPs in humans and in guinea pigs. MATERIALS AND METHODS We researched the following databases...

The influence of voluntary tonic EMG level on the vestibular-evoked myogenic potential.

Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are proposed as a reliable test to supplement the current vestibular test battery by providing diagnostic information about saccular and/or inferior vestibular nerve function. VEMPs are short-latency electromyograms (EMGs) evoked by high-level acoustic stimuli and recorded from surface electrodes over the tonically contracted sternocleidomastoid mus...
