understood than those of vertebrates, although indirect evidence suggests the participation …

Aluminum is used in a large number of anthropogenic processes, leading to aquatic
ecosystems pollution. Diverse studies show that in mammals this metal may produce …

Although the frequency-dependent antinociceptive mechanisms of electroacupuncture (EA)
have been well demonstrated, the anti-inflammatory mechanisms that underlie the …

Electroacupuncture (EA) is used to treat a variety of inflammatory diseases; however, the
neurophysiological mechanisms underlying EA's anti-inflammatory effect remain unclear …

Chemical sympathectomy with reserpine depletes catecholamines in every neuronal or
nonneuronal cell producing a nonspecific temporal sympathectomy. After reserpine …

These studies were performed to examine the potential anti-inflammatory effect of intrathecal
(IT) clonidine (an α2-adrenoceptor agonist) on zymosan-induced leukocyte migration in a …

Chemical sympathectomy with guanethidine (Gnt) selectively destroys the postganglionic
noradrenergic neurons, whereas dopaminergic fibers and nonneural catecholamine …

Stress contributes significantly to the development of many diseases. In clinical studies, a
strong correlation between depression and immune dysfunction has been shown. Our …

Previous data from our laboratories using the mouse air pouch model demonstrated that
intrathecal injection of the cholinomimetic drug, neostigmine, produces a significant …
