Hypoxia at high altitude can constrain aerobic metabolism and elicit physiological responses that are detrimental to health and fitness. Responses of the sympathoadrenal system are vital for coping with acute hypoxia, but can become maladaptive with prolonged activation in chronic hypoxia. We examined how adrenal function is altered in high-altitude populations of deer mice (), which have evolved to overcome chronic hypoxia in their native environment.

The present study investigated the role of the neurotensin/NTS in the modulation of the lipopolysaccharide/LPS induced dysfunction of the sympatho-adrenal-medullary system/SAM using both the NTS receptor 1/NTSR agonist PD149163/PD and antagonist SR48692 /SR. Forty eight mice were maintained in eight groups; Group I/control, Groups II, III, IV, and VII received LPS for 5 days further Group III/IV/VII received PD low dose/PD, PD high dose /PD and SR for 28 days respectively. Group V/VI received similar only PD and PD dose respectively whereas Group VIII was exposed to only SR for 28 days.

Purpose: Chronic exposure to synthetic glucocorticoids/GCs, widely in use to treat many diseases, may compromise the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal/HPA axis leading to a condition of adrenal insufficiency/AI. This study demonstrates the efficacy of the melatonin/MEL in amelioration of chronic dexamethasone (DEX)-induced AI.

Methods: Mice (Parkes Strain/Male/8 weeks old/30-33 g) were maintained in four groups (10 mice/group) for 30 days: Group 1/Control received intraperitoneal (i.

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a steroid-responsive fibroinflammatory disorder with 2 clinically distinct subtypes known as type 1 autoimmune and type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis. Type 1 AIP is considered the pancreatic manifestation of immunoglobulin G4-related disease, a systemic disease often presenting with other organ involvement. Advances in understanding the unique clinical presentation, imaging findings, histopathology, and clinical course of this relatively uncommon disease have led to international consensus regarding diagnosis and treatment.

Stress is linked to oxidative imbalance, neuroendocrine system malfunction, and cognitive dysfunction. It is a recognized cause of neuropsychiatric diseases. Natural flavonoid apigenin (API) has neuroprotective and antidepressant properties, but little is known about its potential in restoring memory function under stress-related circumstances.
