The Kallikrein-Kinin System (KKS) has been associated to inflammatory and immunogenic
responses in the peripheral and central nervous system by the activation of two receptors …

The paratrigeminal nucleus is an obscure region in the dorsal lateral medulla, which has
been best characterized as a collection of interstitial cells located in the dorsal tip of the …

The paratrigeminal nucleus, which receives sensory input from trigeminal, glossopharyngeal
and vagus nerves, has efferent projections to bulbar, pontine and possibly to thalamic …

The paratrigeminal nucleus (Pa5), a constituent of the spinal interstitial system, was linked to
the pressor effect caused by bradykinin injected in the dorsal lateral medulla of the rat. The …

Bradykinin has long been known to exist in the central nervous system and has been
hypothesized to mediate specific functions. Despite an increasing understanding of the …

The paratrigeminal nucleus (PTN) receives primary visceral afferent projections through
cranial nerves IX and X and somatic afferent projections through cranial nerve V and dorsal …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews substantial anatomical data describing the
distribution of bradykinin (BK) receptors as well as that of the biochemical machinery for the …

Although numerous inflammation pathways have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease,
the involvement of the kallikrein–kinin system is still under investigation. We anatomically …

Sensory neurons of the jugular vagal ganglia innervate the respiratory tract and project to
the poorly studied medullary paratrigeminal nucleus. In the present study, we used …

Somatostatin (SST) or agonists of the SST‐2 receptor (sst2) in the rostral ventrolateral
medulla (RVLM) lower sympathetic nerve activity, arterial pressure, and heart rate, or when …
