BACKGROUND: It has been shown that interleukin-1β(IL-1β) can induce fever by activating vascular endothelial cells and macrophages of the supraoptic crest to generate prostaglandin E2, which binds with receptors ...
The unit firing activities of neurons in the preoptic area (POA) of ground squirrel hypothalamic tissue slices were recorded and the metabolism of NA in hypothalamus was measured with high performance liquid chromatog...
In the structure of brain the medial preoptic area (MPO) and ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus (VMN)are the two parts where the estrogen receptors concentrate but have opposite effects on sexual behavior. Recently ...
Several studies showed that sex hormone receptors are in close relationship with classical neurotransmitter neurons especially catecholaminergic(CA) neurons. There are many gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) neuro...
Many research works through out the world show that the preoptic area(POA) is a region concerned with analgesia. Electric stimulation to this region could enhance markedly pain threshold and exert an analgesic effect....
