The polyamines spermidine and spermine are small, widely distributed polycations. In the
brain, they confer rectification properties upon inwardly rectifying potassium channels and …

Transient receptor potential canonical subtype 4 (TRPC4) is expressed in the magnocellular
paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus. In this …

The intention of this review is to emphasize the current knowledge about the extent and
importance of the substances co-localized with magnocellular arginine vasopressin (AVP) …

High salt loading (SL) is associated with inappropriate arginine vasopressin (AVP) release
and increased mean arterial pressure. Previous work has shown that chronic high salt intake …

Magnocellular neuroendocrine cells of the hypothalamic paraventricular and supraoptic
nuclei are responsible for most of the vasopressin and oxytocin in the peripheral blood as …

The magnocellular oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) neurons of the hypothalamo-
neurohypophysial system are exceptional cell biological models to study mechanisms of cell …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the present knowledge of the role of glial cells in
the regulation of neuronal activity in the Hypothalamo-Neurohypophysial System (HNS) and …

The oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) expressing magnocellular neurons in the
hypothalamic-neurohypophysial system (HNS) have been the most studied of all the …

The hypothalamus is comprised of heterogenous cell populations and includes highly
complex neural circuits that regulate the autonomic nerve system. Its dysfunction therefore …

1 The pharmacological profile of receptors activated by vasopressin (AVP) in freshly
dissociated supraoptic magnocellular neurones was investigated using specific V1a‐and V2 …
