Role of AMPA glutamate receptors in the conditioned rewarding effects of MDMA in mice
Elsevier (2018-07-16)Currently, there is not an effective treatment for 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) dependence but pharmacotherapies targeting glutamate neurotransmission are a promising strategy. Previously, we showed that blockade ... -
Role of Exosomal miR-205-5p Cargo in Angiogenesis and Cell Migration
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) (2024-01-11)Exosomes or small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) represent a pivotal component in intercellular communication, carrying a diverse array of biomolecules. Several factors can affect sEVs release dynamics, as occurs in ... -
Role of hippocampal NF-κB and GluN2B in the memory acquisition impairment of experiences gathered prior to cocaine administration in rats
Nature Research (2021-10-08)Cocaine can induce severe neurobehavioral changes, among others, the ones involved in learning and memory processes. It is known that during drug consumption, cocaine-associated memory and learning processes take place. ... -
Role of nitric oxide in pheromone-mediated intraspecific communication in mice
Elsevier (2009-12)Nitric oxide is known to take part in the control of sexual and agonistic behaviours. This is usually attributed to its role in neural transmission in the hypothalamus and other structures of the limbic system. However, ... -
Role of retinal pigment epithelium-derived exosomes and autophagy in new blood vessel formation
Wiley (2018-08)Autophagy and exosome secretion play important roles in a variety of physiological and disease states, including the development of age‐related macular degeneration. Previous studies have demonstrated that these cellular ... -
Role of the vomeronasal system in intersexual attraction in female mice
Elsevier (2008-05)Although it is generally accepted that rodents' sociosexual behavior relies mainly on chemosignals, the specific roles played by the vomeronasal and olfactory systems in detecting these signals are presently unclear. This ... -
Sacubitril/valsartan and short-term changes in the 6-minute walk test: A pilot study
Elsevier (2018-02)Background Impaired exercise capacity is the most disabling symptom in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Despite sacubitril/valsartan showing reduced long-term morbidity and mortality ... -
Sarcoidosis presenting with acute dacryoadenitis
Taylor & Francis (2018)Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder, pathologically characterized by noncaseating epithelioid granulomas. We report a case of the disease that presented with acute dacryoadenitis followed by acute parotitis. -
SARS-CoV-2 Prevalence in Laparoscopic Surgery Filters. Analysis in Patients with Negative Oropharyngeal RT-qPCR in a Pandemic Context: A Cross-Sectional Study
MDPI (2021-10-20)Objective: Surgical societies of different specialties have lately demonstrated a growing concern regarding the potential risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission during surgery, mainly via aerosols carrying SARS-CoV-2 particles ... -
Second-hand smoke exposure in 4-year-old children in Spain: Sources, associated factors and urinary cotinine
Elsevier (2016-02)Introduction Second-hand smoke exposure (SHS) in children remains as a major pollution problem, with important consequences for children's health. This study aimed to identify the sources of exposure to SHS among ... -
Selective dopaminergic lesions of the ventral tegmental area impair preference for sucrose but not for male sexual pheromones in female mice
Wiley (2006-08)The role of the meso-accumbens dopaminergic pathway in reward-related behaviours is the subject of intense investigation. In this regard, here we analyse the effects of specific lesions of dopaminergic cells of the ventral ... -
Selenium status during pregnancy: Influential factors and effects on neuropsychological development among Spanish infants
Elsevier (2018)Selenium (Se) has been positively associated with neurodevelopment in early life. However, its margin of safety is rather narrow, and few prospective studies have evaluated its potential neurotoxic effects at intermediate ... -
Septal complex of the telencephalon of lizards: III. Efferent connections and general discussion
Wiley (1998-11)The projections of the septum of the lizard Podarcis hispanica (Lacertidae) were studied by combining retrograde and anterograde neuroanatomical tracing. The results confirm the classification of septal nuclei into three ... -
Septal complex of the telencephalon of the lizard Podarcis hispanica. II. afferent connections
Wiley (1997-07)The afferent connections to the septal complex were studied in the lizard Podarcis hispanica (Lacertidae) by means of a combination of retrograde and anterograde tracing. The results of these experiments allow us to classify ... -
Septal projections to the nucleus incertus in the rat: Bidirectional pathways for modulation of hippocampal function
Wiley (2015-03)Projections from the nucleus incertus (NI) to the septum have been implicated in the modulation of hippocampal theta rhythm. In this study we describe a previously uncharacterized projection from the septum to the NI, which ... -
Serum Malondialdehyde Concentration and Glutathione Peroxidase Activity in a Longitudinal Study of Gestational Diabetes
Public Library of Science (2016)Aims The main goal of this study was to evaluate the presence of oxidative damage and to quantify its level in gestational diabetes. Methods Thirty-six healthy women and thirty-six women with gestational diabetes ... -
Sex differences on peak oxygen uptake in heart failure
Wiley (2019-10)Women represent nearly half of the adult heart failure (HF) population and they remain underrepresented in HF studies. We aimed to evaluate the evidence about peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) for clinical stratification in ... -
Sex pheromones are not always attractive: changes induced by learning and illness in mice
Elsevier (2014-11)A male-specific major urinary protein named darcin is attractive to female mice, Mus musculus, stimulates a learned attraction to volatile components of a male's urinary odour and induces spatial learning. In this article ... -
Sex-differential effect of frailty on long-termmortality in elderly patients after an acute coronary syndrome
Elsevier (2019-12-31)Background The potential sex-differential effect of frailty in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has not been well-evaluated. We sought to examine the sex-differential association between frailty status on ...
