Retrograde viral vector-mediated inhibition of pontospinal noradrenergic neurons causes hyperalgesia in rats.

12 Oct 2009 Pontospinal noradrenergic neurons form a component of an endogenous analgesic system and represent a potential therapeutic target. We tested the principle that genetic manipulation of their excitability can alter nociception using an adenoviral ... Read more...

Comparative effects of furnished and battery cages on egg production and physiological parameters in White Leghorn hens.

29 Sep 2009 Laboratory animal well-being can be improved by housing the animals in species-specific natural or near-to-natural environments. An enriched environment may have a similar effect on chickens. The purpose of this study was to examine if housing ... Read more...

Effects of group size and repeated social disruption on the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems in two genetic lines of White Leghorn laying hens.

29 Sep 2009 Farm practices such as increasing group size (GS) and mixing unfamiliar chickens may result in repeated social disruption (RSD) and affect the well-being of hens. To examine whether there are genetic differences in response to social stress, 2 ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Norepinephrine'

Definition: Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the adrenal medulla and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers and of the diffuse projection system in the brain arising from the locus ceruleus. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

Chemical name: 1,2-Benzenediol, 4-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-, (R)-
