Changes in epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine levels in different brain nuclei of the August rats were studied after 6.5-hr immobilization. The linkage between the BP dynamics under emotional stress and changes of catecholamines content was observed in epinephrinsynthetizing area A1, norepinephrinsynthetizing area A6 (locus Coeruleus) and dopaminsynthetizing area A9 (substantia nigra). Sharp increase of the BP in the August rats was related to obvious decrease of epinephrine content in A1, norepinephrine in locus coeruleus and dopamine in substantia nigra. The data obtained suggest that deficit of the catecholamines due to the metabolic changes during emotional stress may result in distutbances of the cardiovascular functions control in the August rats.

Objectives: To explore the mechanism of Granules (QDG) for alleviating brain damage in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs).
Methods: Twelve 5-week-old SHRs were randomized into SHR control group and SHR+QDG group treated with QDG by gavage at the daily dose of 0.9 g/kg for 12 weeks.

Plague, a zoonotic disease caused by Yersinia pestis, remains a major public health threat in several parts of the world, including Madagascar. Factors underlying long-term persistence and emergence of the pathogen remain poorly understood. We implemented a longitudinal survey to provide insights into plague reservoir ecology within an endemic focus.

Hypertension is a multifactorial and complex disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and it has become one of the most serious public health challenges. This study aimed to investigate the changes in hypertension based on urinary proteome. The stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSPs) model was used to examined urinary proteome changes during the development of hypertension.

The Rat-1 cell line was established as a subclone of the parental rat fibroblastoid line F2408, derived from Fisher 344 rat embryos. Rat-1 cells are widely used in various research fields, especially in cancer biology, to study the effects of oncogenes on cell proliferation. They are also crucial for investigating signal transduction pathways and play a key role in drug testing and pharmacological studies due to their rapid proliferation.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation, tissue damage, and fibrosis, significantly affecting the quality of life. While there are currently some effective treatments available, they often come with side effects. There is an urgent need to find new treatments that can further improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce side effects.
