Diurnal variations of hormonal secretion, alertness and cognition in extreme chronotypes under different lighting conditions

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Apiparn Borisuit, Lenka Maierova

Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior are modulated by external factors such as light or temperature. We studied whether self-selected office lighting during the habitual waking period had a different impact on alertness, cognitive performance and h ...

Intestinal steroidogenesis controls PPAR expression in the colon and is impaired during ulcerative colitis

Johan Auwerx

Background and aims Immune tolerance breakdown during UC involves the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- (PPAR), a key factor in mucosal homoeostasis and the therapeutic target of 5-aminosalycilates, which expression is impaired during UC. Here we ...

Impact of HSD11B1 polymorphisms on BMI and components of the metabolic syndrome in patients receiving psychotropic treatments

Pierre Magistretti, Murielle Bochud, Aurélie Delacrétaz

Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) associated with psychiatric disorders and psychotropic treatments represents a major health issue. 11 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 beta-HSD1) is an enzyme that catalyzes tissue regeneration of active cor ...

Evidence that the Lunar Cycle Influences Human Sleep

Endogenous rhythms of circalunar periodicity (similar to 29.5 days) and their underlying molecular and genetic basis have been demonstrated in a number of marine species [1, 2]. In contrast, there is a great deal of folklore but no consistent association o ...

An in vivo neovascularization assay for screening regulators of angiogenesis and assessing their effects on pre-existing vessels

Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Marcin Stefan Zielinski

Therapeutic regulation of tissue vascularization has appeared as an attractive approach to treat a number of human diseases. In vivo neovascularization assays that reflect physiological and pathological formation of neovessels are important in this effort. ...

Local glucocorticoid production in the mouse lung is induced by immune cell stimulation

Kristina Schoonjans

Background: Glucocorticoids (GC) are potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive steroid hormones, mainly produced by the adrenal glands. However, increasing evidence supports the idea of additional extra-adrenal sources of bioactive GC. The lung epithe ...

HoxD cluster scanning deletions identify multiple defects leading to paralysis in the mouse mutant Ironside

Denis Duboule

A spontaneous semidominant mutation (Ironside, Irn) was isolated in mice, leading to severe hindlimb paralysis following multiple deletions in cis at the HoxD locus. To understand its cellular and molecular etiology, we embarked on a comparative analysis u ...

Prior exposure to a single stress session facilitates subsequent contextual fear conditioning in rats. Evidence for a role of corticosterone

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana

Previous studies showed that exposure of rats to chronic restraint stress for 21 days enhances subsequent contextual fear conditioning. Since recent evidence suggest that this effect is not dependent on stress-induced neurodegenerative processes, but to el ...

Glucocorticoid involvement in memory formation in a rat model for traumatic memory

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana

Contextual fear conditioning under training conditions involving high stressor intensities has been proposed as an animal model for traumatic memories. The strength of memory for this task has been related to the intensity of the conditioning stressor and ...
