Fluorescent microscopy and spectrofluorometry of biogenic amines were employed to study the peripheral catecholaminergic systems in immobilized rats which received sodium hydroxybutyrate. The content of catecholamines was measured in the adrenergic nerves of dura mater, vas deferens and chromaffin tissue of the adrenals. It was established that sodium hydroxybutyrate in a dose of 40 mg/kg intraperitoneally promoted returning to normal of the adrenergic mediator activity during alarm and resistance stages. The role of the peripheral catecholaminergic systems in the mechanism of the stress-protective effect of sodium hydroxybutyrate is discussed.

Nucleic acid (NA)-based drugs are promising therapeutics agents. Beyond efficacy, addressing safety concerns-particularly those specific to this class of drugs-is crucial. Here, we propose an in vitro approach to screen for potential adverse off-target effects of NA-based drugs.

However, whether peripheral neuroimmune interactions orchestrate endocrine system functions remains unexplored. After fasting, mice lacking type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) displayed disrupted glucose homeostasis, impaired pancreatic glucagon secretion, and inefficient hepatic gluconeogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- The sympathetic nervous system enhances sensory detection and prepares organs for alertness, influencing how we sense our environment.
- The study focused on noradrenaline (NA) and its effect on vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs), which are crucial for sensing pheromones and other chemical signals.
- Findings revealed that NA boosts the activity of VSNs through alpha 1 adrenergic receptors, indicating a significant role of NA in regulating sensory processing and the connection between the sympathetic system and chemosensation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how electroacupuncture stimulation (ES) affects sympathetic innervation in brown adipose tissue (BAT) through the BMP8B-NRG4-ErbB4 signaling pathway, with different effects depending on the stimulation site.
- Mice fed a high-fat diet were used to measure BAT thermogenesis and metabolism, revealing that ES on forelimbs and abdomen significantly increased sympathetic nerve activity (SNA), while hindlimb stimulation had limited effects.
- Results indicated that ES enhances catecholaminergic signals in BAT via specific neural pathways and that blocking ErbB4 disrupts the metabolic benefits of ES, highlighting the potential of ES in improving BAT function.
