Water intake is one of the most basic physiological responses and is essential to sustain life.
The perception of thirst has a critical role in controlling body fluid homeostasis and if …

Interaction between the autonomic nervous system and the neuroendocrine system is critical
for maintenance of homeostasis in a wide variety of physiological parameters such as body …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is used as therapy for treatment-resistant depression or
epilepsy. This study used immunohistochemistry for biomarkers of short-term (c-Fos) and …

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) models repetitive bouts of arterial hypoxemia that occur in
humans suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. CIH has been linked to persistent activation …

Fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5) and androgen receptor (AR) are critical promoters of
prostate cancer. In the present study, the effects of knocking out the FABP5 or AR genes on …

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXY) are released by magnocellular
neurosecretory cells that project to the posterior pituitary. While AVP and OXY currently …

Exercise training (ExT) normalizes the increased sympathetic outflow in heart failure (HF),
but the underlying mechanisms are not known. We hypothesized ExT would normalize the …

We studied c-Fos staining in adult male rats after 48 h of water deprivation and after 46 h of
water deprivation with 2 h of access to water or physiological saline. Controls were allowed …

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) increases mean arterial pressure (MAP) and FosB/ΔFosB
staining in central autonomic nuclei. To test the role of the brain renin-angiotensin system …

We studied cFos and FosB staining in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) the organum
vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT) and the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO) in …
