Central GPR109A Mediates Neuronal Oxidative Stress and Pressor Response in Conscious Rats
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)The primary goal of this study was to characterize the role of GPR109A in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) in blood pressure (BP) regulation and to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the hypertensive response ... -
The Central Places of Albemarle Sound : Examining Transitional Maritime Economies Through Archaeological Site Distribution
(East Carolina University, 2011)Historical evidence shows that the Albemarle Sound region has a long history of maritime trade. As technologies improved, early settlers moved beyond simple subsistence farming to expand extensive maritime trade networks ... -
Central Santa Catarina coastal dunefields chronology and their relation to relative sea level and climatic changes
(2015)During the past decades, there have been contrarian explanations for the formation and stabilization of coastal dunefields: while many authors believe the dunes formation would be enhanced by falling sea level, others argue ... -
CENTRAL SENSORIMOTOR CHANGES DUE TO PERIPHERAL NERVE INJURY: ROLE OF DOPAMINERGICS AND OPIOIDS
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-28)Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) is a disease typically resulting from injury to the central or peripheral nervous system. CNP has a prevalence of 12-15% in the population, but current treatments are not highly efficacious ... -
Central α-Klotho is a Novel Regulator of Arcuate Neurons and Peripheral Metabolism
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-20)The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) is a critical nexus of neuron populations that interpret peripheral signals of energy status and deliver diverse efferent outputs to metabolically active tissues. These neurons ... -

Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Increases Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Levels by An Indomethacin-Sensitive Mechanism
(1998-01-01)In anesthetized piglets, endothelial and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (eNOS and nNOS, respectively) levels were investigated after global cerebral ischemia. Increased intracranial pressure was used to produce 5 or 10 ... -
Cerebrovascular Reactivity Remains Intact after Cortical Depolarization in Newborn Piglets
(1999-01-01)Cerebrovascular reactivity is severely affected by ischemia, and changes in vascular responses have been reported after cortical spreading depression and head trauma as well. Cortical depolarization (CD) occurs during ... -
