Despite evidence that these hormones play a relevant role in energy metabolism regulation in perceived or real stress events, little is known regarding the factors that could modify the capability...
The beneficial effects of Environmental Enrichment (EE) applied immediately after weaning or even in adulthood have been widely demonstrated. Less is known about the possible changes in behaviour and brain development of the progeny following the exposure of dams to EE. In order to further investigate this matter, female rats were reared in EE for 12weeks, from weaning until delivery. After having...
Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and nociceptin orphanin peptide (NOP) receptors represent an endogenous system modulating gastrointestinal functions and inflammation. We investigated the peripheral effect of N/OFQ and of UFP-101, the NOP antagonist, in a model of colitis induced by TNBS (2,4,6 trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid; 60mg/kg). Male rats received two intraperitoneal injections per day of N/OFQ,...
