Background: Magnocellular neurosecretory neurons of the hypothalamic supraoptic (SON)
and paraventricular (PVN) nuclei synthesize vasopressin and oxytocin in response to …

Animals can sense their changing internal needs and then generate specific physiological
and behavioural responses in order to restore homeostasis. Water-saline homeostasis …

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) neurons in the hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus (SON) and
paraventricular nucleus (PVN) are involved in important physiological behaviors, such as …

Due to phoenixin's role in restraint stress and glucocorticoid stress, as well as its recently
shown effects on the inflammasome, we aimed to investigate the effects of …

During dehydration, responses of endocrine and autonomic control systems are triggered by
central and peripheral osmoreceptors and peripheral baroreceptors to stimulate thirst and …

The novel peptide phoenixin was shown to be involved in several physiological processes
ranging from reproduction to food intake. Interest in this protein has steadily increased over …

The rodent renovascular hypertension model has been used to investigate the mechanisms
promoting hypertension. The importance of the carotid body for renovascular hypertension …

A high-fat diet (HFD) induces an increase in arterial pressure and a decrease in baroreflex
function, which may be associated with increased expression of angiotensin type 1 receptor …

Background and Objective: The nonapeptide hypothalamic hormone vasopressin (VP),
exerts important effects on cardiovascular system via its receptors V1, V2 and V3. Patients …
