Brain angiotensin II (Ang II) inhibits pituitary prolactin release by an indirect mechanism requiring stimulation of dopamine formation and release. We report that [125I]Sar1-Ang II binding to AT1 receptors and AT1A receptor mRNA expression increase selectively in the dorsomedial arcuate nucleus of 17beta-estradiol-primed ovariectomized rats after treatment with progesterone. In hormone-treated...

Purpose: We compared visual field progression among patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), normal tension (NTG), and angle-closure (PACG).Methods: A total of 115 POAG, 123 NTG, 92 PACG eyes were retrospectively analyzed. Global VF was evaluated by calculating the changes mean deviations. To examine local deterioration, scotoma enlargement deepening analyzed in superior, inferior arcu...

The arcuate nucleus is a prominent cell group in the human hindbrain, characterized by its position on the pial surface of the pyramid. It is considered to be a precerebellar nucleus and has been implicated in the pathology of several disorders of respiration. An arcuate nucleus has not been convincingly demonstrated in other mammals, but we have found a similarly positioned nucleus in the C57B...

Aluminium is a blocker of voltage sensitive cakcium channels which intere the body from different soueces.this ion interferes with biological function of Ca++ion.because GnRH synthesis,secretion and spermatogenesis on vas deferens and epididymis sperm count and weight of these organs in male rats.the study was performed on four group of rats(n=49),in whom the arcuate nuleus was bilateraly cannu...

Median arcuate ligament syndrome is a rare disorder that is clinically characterized by the triad of postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, and often an abdominal bruit due to compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament. Given the nonspecific symptoms, this is a rare and difficult diagnosis to obtain. We present a patient with nonspecific abdominal pain in whom etiology w...

The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus is a primary site for sensing blood borne nutrients and hormonal messengers that reflect caloric status. To identify novel energy homeostatic genes, we examined RNA extracts from the microdissected arcuate nucleus of fed and 48-h fasted rats using oligonucleotide microarrays. The relative abundance of 118 mRNA transcripts was increased and 203 mRNA transc...

This study examined the effects of anterior arcuate and dorsomedial frontal cortex lesions on visually guided eye movements in three rhesus monkeys. Lesions of the anterior bank of the arcuate, where the frontal eye fields reside, produced major deficits in the execution of saccadic eye movements to sequentially presented targets that did not recover even after 1 year after the lesions. Ablatio...

The influence of serotonin afferents on tyrosine hydroxylase expression in differentiating neurons of the rat arcuate nucleus was studied in vivo and in vitro. In the in vivo study, pchlorophenylalanine inhibited serotonin synthesis in fetal brain from the 11th to the 20th embryonic day. We then used semiquantitative immunocytochemistry to evaluate tyrosine hydroxylase levels in neurons of the ...

The extension of back-arc basins and formation marginal seas following the subduction oceanic lithosphere are usually attributed to rollback subducting slabs distorted mantle convection. However, for Japan Sea, largest sea in northwestern Pacific, its opening is unlikely only resulted from Pacific plate because coeval Philippine arcuate arc volcanic zone. Therefore, present-day thermal structur...
