In summary, the present study unveiled a probable mechanism by which metformin may suppress autophagy in the sciatic nerve via an AMPK-dependent pathway that phosphorylates AMPK at Thr-172 to improve ...

The involuntary part of the PNS includes the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous systems. The sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous system work together to balance out ...

It may eventually reactivate and travel to the skin’s nerve pathways, causing shingles. Researchers don’t know exactly what causes shingles. But they speculate it may have to do with the body’s ...

Shingles will result when the virus reactivates and travels back up the nerve pathways and into the skin. Anyone who has ever had chickenpox is at risk of shingles later in life, usually as an older ...

Our studies provide evidence that isoproterenol enhances the effect of dexamethasone and that the enhanced effect of isoproterenol is mediated via the β 2-adrenergic receptor and the cAMP-dependent ...

Stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which ... from the adrenal gland and sympathetic postganglionic neurons. Most immune cells express ...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of varying concentrations of acetylcholine on the vasoconstriction of the perfused mesenteric arteries of the rat caused by stimulation of their ...

In this review we examine the VN’s important role in modulating the immune system through the inflammatory reflex, which involves the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, which releases ...
