Mounting evidence suggests that acute and chronic stress, especially the stress-induced
release of glucocorticoids, induces changes in glutamate neurotransmission in the prefrontal …

In recent years, the distribution of dopamine receptor subtypes among the principal neurons
of the neostriatum has been the subject of debate. Conventional anatomical and …

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator 1α (PGC-1α) promotes mitochondrial
biogenesis and slow fiber formation in skeletal muscle. We hypothesized that activation of …

PGC-1α is a transcriptional coactivator induced by exercise that gives muscle many of the
best known adaptations to endurance-type exercise but has no effects on muscle strength or …

The transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α)
is a key integrator of neuromuscular activity in skeletal muscle. Ectopic expression of …

Major histocompatibility complex class II ( MHC ‐ II ) molecules are expressed on the surface
of professional antigen‐presenting cells where they display peptides to T helper cells, …

We tested the hypothesis that activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1)
by capsaicin prevents adipogenesis. TRPV1 channels in 3T3-L1-preadipocytes and …

Skeletal muscle satellite cells are adult stem cells responsible for postnatal skeletal muscle
growth and regeneration. Paired-box transcription factor Pax7 plays a central role in satellite …

The physiological state of the cell is controlled by signal transduction mechanisms which
regulate the balance between protein kinase and protein phosphatase activities 1 . Here we …

Chronic stress could trigger maladaptive changes associated with stress-related mental
disorders; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we found that …
