The compartmentalized hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system: evidence for a neurohypophysial action of acetylcholine on vasopressin release.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:Abuse of toluene products (e.g., glue-sniffing) primarily occurs during adolescence and has been associated with appetite suppression and weight impairments. However, the metabolic phenotype arising from adolescent inhalant abuse has never been fully characterised, and its persistence during abstinence ...
