Cardiac injury initiates repair mechanisms and results in cardiac remodeling and fi-brosis,which appears to be a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases.Cardiac fi-brosis is characterized by the accumulation of extra...
Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM)experience multiple episodes of hypoglycemia,resulting in dysfunctional counter-regulatory responses with time.The recent experimental study by Jin et al explored the role o...
Fishes exert stress response in a various ways depending on the type of the stressor.The stress responses are activated through a cascade mechanism stimulated by the stressor which involves the hypothalamus-hypophysea...
BACKGROUND When combined with vanadium salts,catecholamines strongly activate glucose uptake in rat and mouse adipocytes.AIM To test whether catecholamines activate glucose transport in human adipocytes.METHODS The up...
Background:Depression is a common,easily ignored,accompanied disease of gastric cancer(GC)patients and is often observed with elevated plasma catecholamine levels.Depression frequently promotes GC progression and lead...
Background:Caregivers of dementia patients have significantly higher levels of serum IL-6 and CRP compared to non-caregivers,and the accumulation of everyday stressors reportedly promotes the induction of inflammator...

The sympathetic nervous system is activated in the setting of heart failure(HF)to compensate for hemodynamic instability.However,acute sympathetic surge or sustained high neuronal firing rates activatesβ-adrenergic r...
We thank the staff of animal unit CREFRE, currently headed by Xavier Collet, andespecially its Rangueil satellite for housing wild type and transgenic rodents, andAnne Bouloumié for helpful discussions.
BACKGROUND Benzylamine and methylamine activate glucose uptake in adipocytes.For tyramine,this effect has even been extended to cardiomyocytes.AIM To investigate the effects of catecholamines and other amines on gluco...
Heart failure(HF)is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the activation of at least several neurohumoral pathways that have a common role in maintaining cardiac output and adequate perfusion pressure of target...
