Angiotensin (Ang) II plays a critical role in cardiovascular homeostasis and neuroendocrine regulation. Little is known about whether central angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is functional in the fetal brain. We investigated cardiovascular and neuroendocrinological responses to intracerebroventricular (icv) application of Ang I in the chronically prepared near-term ovine fetus in utero and e...

The supraoptic nucleus (SON) is part of the central osmotic circuitry that synthesises the hormone vasopressin (Avp) and transports it to terminals in the posterior lobe of the pituitary. Following osmotic stress such as dehydration, this tissue undergoes morphological, electrical and transcriptional changes to facilitate the appropriate regulation and release of Avp into the circulation where ...

Introduction: The magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) play a crucial role in control of physiological and pathophysiologiccal condition due to two peptides that they synthesize, i.e. Oxytocin (OXT) and Vasopressin (AVP). The activity of MCNs is regulated by a variety of excitatory and inhibitory inputs. Opioid receptors are one of the important receptors in SON synap...

Il y a pire. Est-ce qu’avoir un métier, ça veut dire faire quelque chose qu’on n’aime pas (beaucoup), dans des rapports de hiérarchie, dans un cadre horaire qui ne nous corresponde pas. Est-ce que les intermittents, c’était trop l’envers de ça ? Etre artiste c’est bricoler, créer dans la société avec son insubordination, son inadaptation, son irrespect, son cannibalisme, son irrésolution, son i...

We describe properties of the nonstandard q-deformation U ′ q (son) of the universal enveloping algebra U (son) of the Lie algebra son which does not coincide with the Drinfeld–Jimbo quantum algebra Uq(son). In particular, it is shown that there exists an isomorphism from U ′ q (son) to Uq(sln) and that finite dimensional ir-reducible representations of U ′ q (son) separate elements of this alg...

An extrachromosomal factor, termed son-killer (sk), affects the sex ratio in a parasitoid wasp, Nasonia (=Mormoniella) vitripennis. The factor is maternally transmitted and alters the secondary sex ratio of an infected female through mortality of approximately 80% of the male embryos. No effect on the primary (zygotic) sex ratio is observed. Ninety-five percent of the daughters of an infected f...

This article was presented by the author at the Third Iranian Congress of Radiology - University of Isfahan. Les explorations arteriographiques des kystes hydatique du foie et sa comparaison avec Ia scintigraphie hepatique L' auteur present quatre cas de quarante six cas d'angiographie coeliaque et mesentrique sup2-rieure en portant son attention sur les resultats obtenus de cet examen et de...

Reality therapy is a particular approach in adolescent development and independence that repeatedly emphasized on the disagreeable relationships and self-control to encourage personal growth. Unfortunately, we could not find any study in the context of effectiveness of training reality therapy concepts on parent-child conflicts and self-efficacy. Therefore, this study were done with the purpose...

Light chains of the serologically and chemically defined V region sub-subgroup kappa IIIb are preferentially associated with several types of human IgM kappa (monoclonal) autoantibodies and are remarkably homologous in primary structure, as evidenced by partial amino acid sequence data. To establish the extent of homology among such proteins, we have determined the complete variable region (V) ...
