Functional role of the striatum in motor control has been widely studied. In addition, its involvement in reward function as a brain area in the dopamine system has also been mentioned. However, neural signali...

Cortical spreading depression (CSD), an underlying mechanism of migraine aura, propagates to the hippocampus, and might explain hippocampusassociated symptoms during migraine attack. We hypothesised that this ...

Anorexia, a loss of appetite for food, can be caused by various physiological and pathophysiological conditions. In this review, firstly, clinical aspects of anorexia nervosa are summarized in brief. Secondly,...
We compared the time-course of satellite cell (SC) activation between eccentric and concentric contractions in the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle after step exercise. Young adults participated in a 30-min step u...
Lack of elasticity in the central artery causes an increase in left ventricular (LV) afterload. Although regular moderate-intensity endurance exercise improves cardiovascular function, including arterial desti...
Ischemia induces physiological alterations in neurons that lead to cell death. This study investigated the effects of pre-ischemic exercise on CA3 neurons. Rats were divided into three groups. Animals in the ...
The effects of chronic hypoxia (CH) on respiratory muscle performance have hardly been investigated, despite clinical relevance. Results from recent studies are indicative of unique adaptive strategies in hypo...
Repeated cold stress (RCS) is known to transiently induce functional disorders associated with hypotension and hyperalgesia. In this study, we investigated the effects of RCS (24 and 4 °C alternately at 30-min...
Cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptor antagonists may be useful for their potential to increase or prolong opioid analgesia while attenuating the development of opioid tolerance. The aim of this study was to invest...
The aim of this study was to explore the mechanism underlying the cardioprotection bestowed by chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in developing rats. Neonatal ...
To clarify the characteristics of the thermal control of skin blood flow (SkBF) in individuals with a cold constitution, we examined the cutaneous vasoconstrictor responses in the calf and dorsal foot during w...
We previously reported that a serotonin 4 (5-HT4) receptor agonist, mosapride citrate (MOS), increased the number of c-RET-positive cells and levels of c-RET mRNA in gel sponge implanted in the necks of rats. The...
Adaptation of morphological, metabolic, and contractile properties of skeletal muscles to inhibition of antigravity activities by exposure to a microgravity environment or by simulation models, such as chronic...
In mammals, both circadian rhythm and aging play important roles in regulating time-dependent homeostasis. We previously discovered an age-related increase element binding protein, hnRNP A3, which binds to the...
Although entrainment (and masking) of circadian rhythms by light has been extensively studied, much less attention has been given to other environmental cycles that can modulate circadian rhythms in mammals. I...
This review provides an overview of zebrafish mutants with dysfunctional acetylcholine receptors or related proteins at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The NMJ, which has served as the classical model of the...
The overactive bladder (OAB) is a syndrome-based urinary dysfunction characterized by “urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia”. Earlier we developed a mathematical mode...
We investigated the effects of menstrual cycle phase on thermal sensation, thermal pleasantness, and autonomic thermoregulatory responses during mild cold exposure. Eight healthy young women participated. Expe...
After weaning, piglets are often fed diets supplemented with high concentrations of zinc (Zn) to decrease post-weaning diarrhea. The aim of this study was to elucidate the regulation of Zn homeostasis within i...
Many investigations have demonstrated the prophylactic effect of Nigella sativa on asthma disease. One of its active constituents is α-hederin. In the present study, the preventive effect of two different concent...
Ischemic heart disease is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Ischemia is a condition in which blood flow of the myocardium declines, leading to cardiomyocyte death. However, reperfusion of ischemic re...
A substudy of ghrelin treatment in a multicenter trial previously revealed that administration of ghrelin improves the exercise capacity of underweight COPD patients. To clarify exertional dyspnea more precise...
Central arterial pulse pressure (PP), a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease, mainly consists of an incident wave generated by left ventricular ejection and a late-arriving reflected wave emanating from ...
We investigated age-induced changes in mRNA expression profiles of sex-steroidogenic enzymes and sex-steroid receptors in 3-, 12-, and 24-month-old male rat brain subregions [cerebral cortex (CC), hypothalamus...
In this study, we hypothesized that blunting of the natriuresis response to intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) microinjected cholinergic and adrenergic agonists is involved in the development of hypertension i...
Defecation is thought to be achieved not only by contraction of the colon, but also by a rise in intra-abdominal pressure. In this study we recorded the discharges of nerves innervating the abdominal (Abd) mus...
In the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel, lyotropic anions with high permeability also bind relatively tightly within the pore. However, the location of permeant anion...
The present study was designed to evaluate antioxidant effects of betaine in the brain following administration of levodopa and benserazide, which are routinely used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Sp...
Early-life stress may cause several neuropsychological disorders in adulthood. Such disorders may be induced as a result of instability of neuronal circuits and/or synaptic formation. However, the mechanisms u...
Thyroid hormones are vital for survival of mammalian species and play critical roles in growth, development, and metabolism. Both fetal hypothyroidism and sex can affect carbohydrate metabolism during adult li...
Using a three-dimensional electromechanical model of the canine ventricles with dyssynchronous heart failure, we investigated the relationship between severity of valve regurgitation and ventricular mechanical...
Astrocytes have multiple functions such as provision of nourishment and mechanical support to the nervous system, helping to clear extracellular metabolites of neurons and modulating synaptic transmission by r...
The incidence of lower extremity injury is greater in women than men, indicating gender difference in lower extremity function. Here we investigate the role of the ankle during squatting in young men and women...
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and Ca2+ levels may oscillate in harmony within excitable cells; a mathematical oscillation loop model, the Cooper model, of these oscillations was developed two decades ago....

Butyrate is a fatty acid with an important role in the maintenance of colonic homeostasis. It induces apoptosis in colonic epithelial cells and contributes to the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis. However, j...
In mouse models, CCAAT enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBPB) is necessary for M2 macrophage-mediated regeneration after muscle injury. In humans, CEBPB expression in blood was strongly associated with muscle stre...
We investigated the effects of 6 weeks of detraining on muscle size and strength in young men who had previously participated in 6 weeks (3 days/week) of 30 % of concentric one-repetition maximal (1-RM) dumbbe...
This study aimed to examine the effect of acupuncture-like stimulation on cortical cerebral blood flow (CBF) in aged rats and the contribution of the intracranial cholinergic vasodilatory system on its respons...
It is well known that ovarian function is regulated by hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian hormones. However, although several histological studies have described the autonomic innervation of the ovary, the involve...
