Leptin impairs cardiovagal baroreflex function at the level of the solitary tract nucleus.

19 Sep 2009 Circulating leptin is elevated in some forms of obesity-related hypertension, associated with impaired baroreflex function. Leptin receptors are present on vagal afferent fibers and neurons within the solitary tract nucleus, providing an anatomic ... Read more...

Transcriptional upregulation of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 protects against oxidative stress-associated neurogenic hypertension.

15 Sep 2009 RATIONALE: Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) belong to a superfamily of mitochondrial anion transporters that uncouple ATP synthesis from oxidative phosphorylation and mitigates mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production. OBJECTIVE: We ... Read more...

Microinjection techniques for studying mitosis in the Drosophila melanogaster syncytial embryo.

13 Sep 2009 This protocol describes the use of the Drosophila melanogaster syncytial embryo for studying mitosis. Drosophila has useful genetics with a sequenced genome, and it can be easily maintained and manipulated. Many mitotic mutants exist, and transgenic ... Read more...
