Effects of irradiation on the sensitivity of melatonin release to norepinephrine in cultured pineal bodies of rats.

Abstract:

:We measured levels of basal and norepinephrine (NE) -induced melatonin release in cultured pineal bodies of rats just after and 2 days after irradiation (20 or 200 Gy) or sham-irradiation. On the day of irradiation, basal and NE-induced melatonin release were not affected by irradiation. Two days after irradiation, basal melatonin levels in both irradiated groups were significantly lower than those in control group, whereas NE-induced melatonin levels in the irradiated groups were higher than those in the control group. These results suggested that irradiation decreases basal melatonin synthesis in pineal glands but that melatonin response to NE is increased after irradiation.

  • Short-term effects on postural control can be evidenced using a seesaw.

    abstract::Postural control strategies are frequently assessed through posturography on a firm surface. Their motor efficiency is related to the coordination between center-of-gravity (CG) and center-of-pressure (CP) movements, which results from long-term training. However, when standing on a seesaw favoring pitching body motio...
