Regulation of Kiss1 and dynorphin gene expression in the murine brain by classical and nonclassical estrogen receptor pathways.

20 Jul 2009 Kisspeptin is a product of the Kiss1 gene and is expressed in the forebrain. Neurons that express Kiss1 play a crucial role in the regulation of pituitary luteinizing hormone secretion and reproduction. These neurons are the direct targets for the ... Read more...

"Green odor" inhalation by rats down-regulates stress-induced increases in Fos expression in stress-related forebrain regions.

25 Jun 2009 In the present study, on rats, a quantitative analysis of Fos protein immunohistochemistry was performed as a way of investigating the effects of inhalation of green odor (a mixture of equal amounts of trans-2-hexenal and cis-3-hexenol) on the ... Read more...

Continuous bilateral infusion of GABA in the dorsomedian nucleus of the thalamus elevates the generalized seizure threshold in amygdala-kindled rats.

22 Jun 2009 In order to assess the role of continuous intracerebral infusion of GABA over the propagation of generalized seizures from the amygdala, Wistar rats were subjected to a kindling procedure at the left basolateral amygdala. Subsequently, they were ... Read more...
