...Randall R. Sakai; Li Y. Ma; Dian M. Zhang; Bruce S. McEwen; Steven J. Fluharty The amygdala contains mineralocorticoid (MR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR) involved in the arousal of salt appetite. In the present investigation, MR antisense oligonucleotides injected into the amygdala inhibited...

... were also measured from these samples. Salt appetite was assessed during a 5-min daily session of operant conditioning. Food and water was always available. Unilateral parotid duct fistulation was effected under xylazine analgesia and halothane/Ch anaesthesia. To prevent a sodium deficit developing...

...Louis R. Lucas; Claudia A. Grillo; Bruce S. McEwen Background/Aims: Acute sodium depletion by the combination of pharmacological natriuresis via furosemide administration and a sodium-deficient diet results in a strong induction of salt appetite in rats. Recent evidence suggests that acute...

...Louis R. Lucas; Claudia A. Grillo; Bruce S. McEwen Acute treatment with the diuretic furosemide (Lasix) produces a reduction in plasma Na + and volume as well as increased thirst and salt appetite. The resulting hypovolemia stimulates the well-known counter-regulatory physiological response from...

De Nicola Salt appetite, a conditioning factor for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, is produced when high doses of mineralocorticoids are given to experimental animals. A commonly used...

...Louis R. Lucas; Pierluigi Pompei; Bruce S. McEwen Chronic administration of the mineralocorticoid deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) induces a steady and robust increase in salt appetite and plasma Na + over the course of treatment. Interestingly, salt appetite behavior persists in rats even...

...Suresh G. Shelat; Jennifer L. King; Loretta M. Flanagan-Cato; Steven J. Fluharty Mineralocorticoids, such as deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA), and angiotensin II (AngII) act synergistically in the brain to elicit salt appetite. Glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone (DEX), also may enhance...
