There is a physiological decline in food intake with aging. The reasons for the decline in
food intake are multifactorial and involve both peripheral and central mechanisms. Altered …

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) exists in three established isoforms. NOS I (NOS1, ncNOS) was
originally discovered in neurons. This enzyme and splice variants thereof have since been …

The hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system (HNS) is the major peptidergic neurosecretory
system through which the brain controls peripheral physiology. The hormones vasopressin …

The identification of nitric oxide (NO) as a gaseous, nonconventional neurotransmitter in the
central nervous system has led to an explosion of studies aimed at learning about the roles …

Obesity is one of the major social and health problems globally and often associated with
various other pathological conditions. In addition to unregulated eating behaviour …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an unusual chemical messenger. NO mediates blood vessel relaxation
when produced by endothelial cells. When produced by macrophages, NO contributes to the …

Of the three established isoforms of NO synthase, the gene for the neuronal-type enzyme
(NOS I) is by far the largest and most complicated one. The genomic locus of the human …

The production and release of the corticosteroids, namely the glucocorticoids and the
mineralocorticoids, are regulated by various stimuli, including stress. Previous studies from …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an unstable gas that is produced in brain tissues involved in the control
of the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Transcripts for constitutive …

Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is associated with various short-and long-term
physiological and neurochemical changes and has been shown to confer an increased …
