Hypothalamic MSG-obese rats show hyperinsulinemia and tissue insulin resistance, and
they display intense parasympathetic activity. Current analysis investigates whether early …

AIMS: We investigated the contribution of the cholinergic nervous system to dexamethasone-
induced insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in rats. METHODS: Seventy-day-old Wistar …

Ingestion of amniotic fluid or placenta by rats has been shown to enhance opioid-mediated
analgesia induced by morphine injection, footshock, vaginal/cervical stimulation, or late …

Subdiaphragmatic vagotomy has been repeatedly shown to attenuate the febrile response
to peripherally injected pyrogens. In the present study, we investigated whether vagotomy …

The vagus nerve (VN) and spleen represent a complex interface between neural and
immunological functions, affecting both energy metabolism and white adipose tissue (WAT) …

Involvement of autonomic nervous system (ANS) neurotransmitters on insulin secretion in
rats submitted to protein malnutrition during lactation was studied. During the first 2/3 of …

Obesidade hipotalâmica pode ocorrer em humanos e pode ser reproduzida,
experimentalmente, por lesão do VMH em ratos. Esta obesidade pode ser revertida por …

The effect of vagotomy and gastric resection on insulin secretion was examined by the
glucagon stimulated C-peptide test in gastrectomy patients (n= 11) without truncal vagotomy …
