چکیده
There are many articles in the medical and surgical literature investigating the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of endotoxin shock. However, the information concerning catecholamine release after endotoxin is not well clarified. The present study was undertaken to describe precisely the dynamics of catecholamine release after endotoxin and, in addition, to ascertain the effect of pharmacologic doses of synthetic corticosteroids on the catecholamine response to endotoxin .

متن کاملEffect of epinephrine and cortisol on fasting-induced ghrelin secretion in male rats fed different levels of their energy requirement
Introduction: ghrelin is a potent orexigenic agent in rodents and humans. Some studies have shown that ghrelin participates in the adaptive response to weight loss and plasma concentration of ghrelin rises with dieting. On the other hand, weight loss and fasting is accompanied by increased levels of epinephrine and cortisol. In this study, we investigated the effects of epinephrine and corti...

Background and Objective: Sleep deprivation affects physiological and psychological functioning and probably increases the body's energy demand. It seems that sleep deprivation can have a negative effect on athletes' performance and affect the body's hormones secretion. This study investigated the effect of 24-hour sleep deprivation on endurance performance and hormonal responses to ...
متن کاملModulatory effects of endogenous adenosine on epinephrine secretion from the adrenal medulla of the rat.
The purpose of this study was to examine (1) whether endogenous adenosine receptors inhibit the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine from adrenal medulla in response to physiological and pharmacological stimuli and (2) whether the renin-angiotensin system modulates this effect of endogenous adenosine. We used a conscious animal model to approximate normal physiological conditions. Male Spr...
متن کاملEndotoxemia and Adrenal Hemorrhage
An experimental model that produces adrenal cortical hemorrhage with endotoxin has been described. When stimulated by thorotrast, endotoxin, or its tropic hormone (ACTH), the adrenal cortex is susceptible to the development of a hemorrhagic reaction during endotoxemia. The hemorrhagic reaction resembles that described in the Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome. A pathophysiologic mechanism for the...
