Alcohol abuse disorder is a serious condition, implicating more than 15 million people aged
12 years and older in 2019 in the United States. Ethanol (or ethyl alcohol) is mainly oxidized …

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 …

A defect in the structure of the obese gene is responsible for development of obesity in the
ob/ob mouse. The product of expression of the gene is the protein hormone leptin. Leptin …

—Nitric oxide (NO), generated by endothelial (e) NO synthase (NOS) and neuronal (n) NOS,
plays a ubiquitous role in the body in controlling the function of almost every, if not every …

J. Neurochem.(2010) 113, 563–575. Abstract The importance of stress in modifying human
behavior and lifestyle is no longer a matter of debate. Although mild stress enhances the …

Bacterial and viral products, such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), cause inducible (i)
NO synthase (NOS) synthesis, which in turn produces massive amounts of nitric oxide (NO) …

The localization and distribution of nitric oxide synthase in the hypothalamus have been
studied with an immunohistochemical technique using antibodies to neuronal rat nitric oxide …

Using a mouse model, our group recently described an association between chronic
paternal alcohol use prior to conception and deficits in offspring growth. Here, we sought to …

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-containing neurons are found in many loci throughout the
central nervous system, which include the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum, the hippocampus …

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in reproduction at every level in the organism. In the
brain, it activates the release of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH). The axons …
