Pituitary-Adrenal Axis by Cytokines: Actions and Mechanisms of Action. Physiol. Rev. 79: 1 …

I. Introduction D ISRUPTION of reproductive functions in mammals is a well known
consequence of stress. The changes undergone by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal …

Administration of cytokines to animals can elicit many effects on the brain, particularly
neuroendocrine and behavioral effects. Cytokine administration also alters …

The dynamic patterns of basal and stimulated hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activity
of freely moving female Lewis and Fischer 344 rats were compared using an automated …

We explored how two independent variables, one genetic (ie, specific rat strains) and
another environmental (ie, a developmental excitotoxic hippocampal lesion), contribute to …

In this study we describe, to our knowledge, the first experiment using the microdialysis
technique for studying the release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the proximal tibia …

This study investigated the role of prostaglandins (PGs) on the neuronal activity and the
transcription of corticotropin‐releasing factor (CRF) in the brain of conscious immune …

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is postulated to be a central mediator of fever. It is generally
believed that it is produced in the preoptic area of the anterior hypothalamus (POA) …

Immune stimulation increases the activity of the HPA axis, a phenomenon directly or
indirectly mediated through cytokines. We have used two models, the peripheral …

Previously, we have reported that interleukin-1 β (IL-1) induces changes in dopaminergic
(DA) and serotonergic systems in the core of nucleus accumbens (NAc). We have also …
