Endotoxic fever is regulated by endogenous factors that provide pro-and anti-pyretic signals
at different points along the febrigenic pathway, from the periphery to the brain. Current …

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is a transcriptionally regulated enzyme that
synthesizes nitric oxide from L–arginine1 that has a key role in the pathophysiology of …

The classical view of fever production is that it is modulated in the ventromedial preoptic
area (VMPO) in response to signaling by pyrogenic cytokines elaborated in the periphery by …

During infection, bacterial and viral products, such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS),
cause the release of cytokines from immune cells. These cytokines can reach the brain by …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an unusual chemical messenger. NO mediates blood vessel relaxation
when produced by endothelial cells. When produced by macrophages, NO contributes to the …

The effects of noradrenaline (NA) and nitric oxide (NO) on prostaglandins (PGs) and
progesterone (P4) secretion during the development of the bovine corpus luteum (CL) were …

The release of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) from the corticotrophs is controlled principally by
vasopressin and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Oxytocin may augment the release …

Review article induced response and did not substantially alter the amthamine-evoked
ACTH and corticosterone secretion. COX blockers did not significantly affect the CRH …
