J Cardiovasc Transl Res 13(5):769-782. doi: 10.1007/s12265-019-09947-5 PMID: 31848881

Objective: To the effects of moderate intense endurance exercise on heart and kidney function and morphology in a rat model of abdominal venous congestion.

Summary: The implementation of moderate intense endurance exercise reduces abdominal venous pressure and is beneficial to kidney function.

Usage: estern blot; to investigate whole kidney renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) protein expression, the membrane was incubated overnight at 4 °C in the presence of AT-1R antibody 1:2000

Objective: To clarify the role of septal input in the development of long-term potentiation (LTP) in this synapse.

Summary: Elimination of septal cholinergic neurons by 192-IgG-SAP abolished LTP development in both experimental series. This suppression of LTP in animals with a cholinergic deficit was not due to loss of hippocampal neurons.

Usage: Rats received intraseptal injections of 192-IgG-SAP (1.5 μg).

Summary: This study reviews the characterization of fever and sickness behavior regulated by cytokines during infection.

Usage: IL-1β-saporin or unconjugated Saporin as control (icv or ip, 1.75 μg) eliminated IL-1R1-expressing cells in the hippocampus and indicated these neurons mediate the function of peripheral IL-1β induced hypophagia.

Biomolecules 10(9):1340. doi: 10.3390/biom10091340 PMID: 32962160

Objective: The authors use zebrafish to conduct a deeper analysis of the potential adverse effects of DPZ on the short-term memory and behaviors of normal zebrafish by performing multiple behavioral and biochemical assays.

Summary: Chronic waterborne exposure to donepezil (DPZ) can severely induce adverse effects on normal zebrafish in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective: The authors investigated the peripheral and spinal mechanisms responsible for prolonged itch in a mouse model of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) induced by squaric acid dibutylester (SADBE).

Summary: Targeting gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) and natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPRA) may provide effective treatments for ACD associated chronic pruritus.

Usage: A single dose of Bombesin-SAP (400 ng) and Blank-SAP (400 ng) or two doses of Nppb-SAP (BNP-SAP; 650 ng) and Blank-SAP (650 ng) were administered via intrathecal injection.

Objective: To whether sensitivity to angiotensin II (Ang II) is enhanced in offspring of renovascular hypertensive animals and whether hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can attenuate the increased response to Ang II in offspring.

Summary: Prenatal or postnatal administration of H2S attenuated AngII-induced sympathetic excitation in offspring of hypertensive rats.
