β¦ Synopsis
From the clinical editor:
Sprague-dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with nanosized aluminum oxide, (nsao); non-nanoscaled aluminum oxide, or vehicle (saline). the numbers of ed1+, gfap+, and nestin+ cells in cortex and hippocampus were significantly higher in nsao-treated rats than nnsao- or vehicle-treated rats; thus, nsao has potential effects on the innate immune system of rat brain.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous neurotransmitter that may mediate a decrease in sympathetic output to the periphery. This implication predicts that NO-producing neurons in the brain are activated in animals experiencing increased levels of sympathetic activity. To test this prediction, we subjected t
