Emotional control in selected somatic and psychiatric diseases.

The Aim: was to assess the level of subjective control of emotional states among patients treated for dermatological and gastrointestinal somatic diseases compared to those with depressive and anxiety disorders. The results were related to the analyzed dimensions of emotion regulation in healthy subjects.

Materials And Methods: The reports of the conducted studies were compiled for a total of 310 people, including 120 patients diagnosed with a somatic disease (psoriasis, rosacea, irritable bowel syndrome, and gastroesophageal reflux), as well as 96 patients diagnosed with depressive disorders and 30 patients with anxiety disorders.

Adiponectin affects uterine steroidogenesis during early pregnancy and the oestrous cycle: An in vitro study.

Reproduction in females is an energetically demanding process. We assumed that adiponectin (ADPN), known for its role in energy balance maintenance, is also engaged in the regulation of uterine steroidogenesis in the pig. We determined the impact of ADPN alone or in combination with insulin (INS) on testosterone (T), estrone (E) and estradiol (E) secretion by porcine endometrium and myometrium, uterine expression of CYP17A1 and CYP19A3 genes, and endometrial abundance of P450 and P450 proteins during the peri-implantation period and the oestrous cycle, using radioimmunoassay, qPCR, and Western Blot, respectively.

Effects of orexin A on PTGS2, PTGES, CBR1 and PGFS mRNA transcript abundances and prostaglandin E and F concentrations in culture medium of pig uterine explants collected during early gestation and the estrogenic cycle.

In this study, aims were to evaluate orexin A (OXA) effects on mRNA abundance of important enzymes involved in prostaglandin production, such as cyclooxygenase 2 (PTGS2), microsomal PGE synthase-1 (PTGES), PGF synthase (PGFS) and carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1), as well as prostaglandin E (PGE) and F (PGF) culture medium concentrations for endometrial and myometrial explants. Tissues were collected from gilts during specific phases of the estrogenic cycle or early gestational period. There were greater concentrations of PGE with OXA treatments of endometrial tissues collected on days 12-13 and 27-28, as well as PGF on days 10-11 of the gestational period.
