Association Between Systemic Inflammation, Carotid Arteriosclerosis, and Autonomic Dysfunction
Systemic inflammation is associated with arteriosclerotic disease progression and worse stroke outcome in patients with carotid arteriosclerotic disease. We hypothesize that systemic inflammation is mediated b...

Diurnal variations of short-term variation and the impact of multiple recordings on measurement accuracy
Short-term variation (STV) from computerized cardiotocogram heart rate analysis is a parameter that complements decision making, regarding the delivery of fetuses in several high-risk situations. Although stud...

Subcutaneous thigh fat area is unrelated to risk of type 2 diabetes in a prospective study of Japanese Americans
Cross-sectional research has reported a negative association between subcutaneous thigh fat (STF) and type 2 diabetes prevalence but no prospective research on this association exists using direct measurements...

Fetal Development, Nonlinear Heart Rate Dynamics, and Self-Organization
Background: The fetal precursors of mental and cardiovascular disease in later age are an important issue of developmental medicine. We investigate the question whether key parameters of fetal development refl...

Heart Rate Variability Approaches to Cholinergic Alterations in Neuropsychiatric Disorders
Both, major depression and schizophrenia, are associated with a cholinergic autonomic dysfunction. Based on previous studies we investigated the hypothesis, that this aspect of neuropsychiatric disorders can b...

Identification of fetal auditory evoked cortical responses using a denoising method based on periodic component analysis
The analysis of auditory evoked cortical responses in the MEG of preterm neonates may result in early markers of functional cerebral development. A major constraint to this approach is the very low signal-to-n...

mGluR7 facilitates extinction of aversive memories and controls amygdala plasticity
Formation and extinction of aversive memories in the mammalian brain are insufficiently understood at the cellular and molecular levels. Using the novel metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7) agonist AMN08...

Region-specific transcriptional changes following the three antidepressant treatments electro convulsive therapy, sleep deprivation and fluoxetine
The significant proportion of depressed patients that are resistant to monoaminergic drug therapy and the slow onset of therapeutic effects of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)/serotonin/nora...

Permutation entropy improves fetal behavioural state classification based on heart rate analysis from biomagnetic recordings in near term fetuses
The relevance of the complexity of fetal heart rate fluctuations with regard to the classification of fetal behavioural states has not been satisfyingly clarified so far. Because of the short behavioural state...

siRNA-mediated knockdown of the serotonin transporter in the adult mouse brain
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used antidepressant drugs that increase the extracellular levels of serotonin by blocking the reuptake activity of the serotonin transporter (SERT). A...

Autonome Funktionen beim Gesunden Autonome Steuerung von Herzkreislauf- und Lungenfunktion und deren Koordination
Neben der bekannten vertikalen Struktur des autonomen Systems mit sympathischen und parasympathischen Komponenten sind horizontale Regulationsebenen von wesentlicher funktioneller Bedeutung. Sie sind sowohl hi...

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Mixed β2/β3-Dipeptides as Somatostatin Analogs
Somatostatin (somatotropin release-inhibiting factor, SRIF) is a widely distributed tetradecapeptide with multiple functions, including modulation of secretion of growth hormone, insulin, glucagon, and gastric...

Kardiorespiratorische Desynchronisation nach akutem Myokardinfarkt
The prognosis of cardiac diseases can be estimated from the variability of regulation parameters of the cardiovascular system. Changes in the variability of a regulation parameter causes disturbances in the sy...

Cloning, expression, functional coupling and pharmacological characterization of the rat dopamine D4 receptor
It has been difficult to observe functional coupling of the D4 receptor to second messenger systems and a robust functional assay system for this receptor is still lacking. In the present study, the rat dopamine...

5-Hydroxytryptamine Receptor Histochemistry: Comparison of Receptor mRNA Distribution and Radioligand Autoradiography in the Brain
Understanding neurotransmission begins with the anatomical and cellular localisation of neurotransmitters and their receptors. Ideally the question to be answered is: which neurone contains which receptor, and...

Characterisation of human recombinant somatostatin receptors. 2. Modulation of GTPγS binding
G protein activation by somatostatin (somatotropin release inhibiting factor, SRIF), cortistatin (CST) and analogues of these neuropeptides was investigated at human somatostatin receptor subtypes 1–5 (sst1–5) s...
