Aim: Octopamine in the Drosophila brain has a neuromodulatory role similar to that of noradrenaline in mammals. After release from Tdc2 neurons, octopamine/tyramine may trigger intracellular Ca signaling via adrenoceptor-like receptors on neural cells, modulating neurotransmission. Octopamine/tyramine receptors are expressed in neurons and glia, but how each of these cell types responds to octopamine remains elusive.

Norepinephrine in vertebrates and its invertebrate analog, octopamine, regulate the activity of neural circuits. We find that, when hungry, larvae switch activity in type II octopaminergic motor neurons (MNs) to high-frequency bursts, which coincide with locomotion-driving bursts in type I glutamatergic MNs that converge on the same muscles. Optical quantal analysis across hundreds of synapses simultaneously reveals that octopamine potentiates glutamate release by tonic type Ib MNs, but not phasic type Is MNs, and occurs via the G-coupled octopamine receptor (OAMB).

The effects of (Hp)-related chronic gastritis on gastrointestinal microorganisms or brain neurotransmitters are not fully understood. Here, this study selected SPF C57BL/6 mice to set up a Hp-related chronic gastritis experiment group and a blank control group, and used omics to explore the specific effects of Hp-related chronic gastritis on gastrointestinal microorganisms and brain neurotransmitters in mice. The Tyramine (TyrA) content in the female experiment group's brain was considerably reduced compared to the female control group ( < 0.

This study aimed to compare the safety and clinical efficacy of Da Vinci robotic surgery (control group) versus traditional laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of large (tumor size >6 cm) pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas. The evaluation was based on intraoperative metrics such as operative time, blood loss, conversion to open surgery rates, postoperative drain duration, and length of postoperative hospital stay. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 29 patients (14 males and 15 females) who underwent Da Vinci robotic surgery for large (greater than 6 cm) pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas from October 2019 to September 2023.

Sensing biogenic amine (BAs) content is very important for assessing food freshness. To address the limitations such as small color difference values (ΔE) and complex preparation of probes for visualizing the freshness of seafood, a pH-responsive ratiometric fluorescent probe (EnEB) was prepared by Eu(NO), trimeric acid (BTC), and hydrochloric acid norepinephrine (Enr). EnEB emitted blue (446 nm) and red fluorescence (616 nm) originating from Enr and Eu, respectively, and exhibiting a fluorescence wavelength difference up to 170 nm.
