Temperature has a significant effect on all physiological processes of animals. Suitable
temperatures promote responsiveness, movement, metabolism, growth, and reproduction in …

Aim: Catecholamines, which are physiologically important neurotransmitters and hormones,
apparently decrease in the brain and plasma as some species age. Because this …

The detection of environmental temperature and regulation of body temperature are integral
determinants of behaviour for all animals. These functions become less efficient in aged …

[Purpose] To determine whether resveratrol improves the adverse effects age on vascular
function in mesenteric arteries (MAs), and diminishes the hyperactivity in adrenal gland with …

Both age and exercise training are associated with tissue specific alterations in the
catecholaminergic system. We examined the effect of short-term exercise training on …

The effect of aging and melatonin on 24-h rhythms in tyrosine hydroxylase activity and 3H−
choline conversion into 3H− acetylcholine were examined in cervical, stellate, coeliac …

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the first step in catecholamines synthesis. We studied
the impact of reduced TH in brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation. In adult heterozygous …

Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used to treat inflammatory conditions. However,
chronic use of GCs can lead to hypertension. The cause of this undesired side effect …

Short-term pharmacological melanocortin activation deters diet-induced obesity (DIO)
effectively in rodents. However, whether central pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene transfer …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease which is characterized
by a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. A most reliable …
