The assessment of adrenergic modulation of sweating as assessed via pharmacologic administration of α- and β-adrenergic receptor blockers during exercise has yielded mixed findings. However, the underlying mechanisms for this disparity remain unresolved. We investigated the effects of separate and combined blockade of α- and β-adrenergic receptors on forearm sweating induced by a 30-min moderate-intensity exercise bout ( = 17, ) and the administration of adrenergic agonists epinephrine and norepinephrine ( = 16, ) in the heat.

Hair follicles (HFs) represent a route of interest to drug delivery for treating several skin conditions. Iontophoresis, on the other hand, is a physical method to enhance drug permeation by applying a low electrical current to the formulation. HFs can be targeted following topical iontophoretic application, as they represent a pathway of lower electrical resistance, as well as a drug reservoir, in particular useful for nanoparticles (NPs), which can preferably accumulate in these structures.

Dacarbazine (DTIC) is the drug of choice for melanoma treatment, but its systemic administration is related to several adverse effects. Here, DTIC topical delivery stimulated by iontophoresis is proposed to overcome such drawbacks. Hence, this work analyzed the impact of anodal iontophoresis on DTIC cutaneous delivery to provide an innovative topical alternative for melanoma treatment.

Conductive hydrogels feature reasonable electrical performance as well as tissue-like mechanical softness, thus positioning them as promising material candidates for soft bio-integrated electronics. Despite recent advances in materials and their processing technologies, however, facile patterning and monolithic integration of functional hydrogels (e.g.

The majority of somatosensory DRG neurons express GABAA receptors (GABAAR) and depolarise in response to its activation based on the high intracellular chloride concentration maintained by the Na-K-Cl cotransporter type 1 (NKCC1). The translation of this response to peripheral nerve terminals in people is so far unclear. We show here that GABA (EC50 = 16.
