The regional hemodynamic consequences of inhibiting vascular endothelial nitric oxide
generation with NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) were studied in conscious Long-Evans …

Sepsis causes muscle atrophy and insulin resistance, but the underlying mechanisms are
unclear. Therefore, the present study examined the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐…

We report four human tachykinins, endokinins A, B, C, and D (EKA–D), encoded from a single
tachykinin precursor 4 gene that generates four mRNAs (α, β, γ, and δ). Tachykinin 4 gene …

Since the identification of nitric oxide (NO) as an important mediator of endothelium-dependent
relaxation, it has become clear that there is an additional endothelial relaxant factor, …

Homozygous male Brattleboro rats were given a solution of N G -monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA;
1 mg ml −1 ) to drink for a period of 7 days. There was a persistent elevation of mean …

We recently provided evidence suggesting a role for cytokine‐mediated inhibition of Akt/Forkhead
box O 1 (FOXO1) signalling in the induction of muscle atrophy and impairment of …

Homozygous Brattleboro (ie vasopressin‐deficient) rats were chronically instrumented with
pulsed Doppler probes and intravascular catheters to permit continuous monitoring of …

Maternal diet can significantly skew the secondary sex ratio away from the expected value of
0.5 (proportion males), but the details of how diet may do this are unclear. Here, we altered …

The hemodynamic effects of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, exendin-4,
and putative underlying mechanisms were assessed in conscious male Sprague-Dawley …

The Western diet is typically high in salt and fructose, which have pressor activity. Maternal
diet can affect offspring blood pressure, but the extent to which maternal intake of excess salt …
