Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and an extensive array of other symptoms including disordered sleep, fatigue, depression and anxiety. Important factors involved in the pathogenic process of fibromyalgia are inflammation and oxidative stress,
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic complex musculoskeletal disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbance, memory defects and mood changes. Fisetin, a plant flavonoid polyphenol, has been reported to possess potent antioxidant, antinociceptive and
Because of the striking similarity of the clinical manifestations produced by use of the drug reserpine and seen in patients with the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), we theorized that CFS was a disorder of reduced central sympathetic drive. Because of the pharmacology of control of this central
In 64 male hypertonics the reaction and coordination functions and the condition were standardized and compared before and after a four weeks ambulatory treatment with diisopropylamine (3 times 200 mg a day) and reserpine (3 times 0.25 mg a day). The two medicaments achieved good blood pressure
The possible occurrence of non-adrenergic mechanisms in the sympathetic vascular control of the nasal mucosa was studied in vivo using reserpine-treated pigs (1 mg kg-1, i.v., 24 h earlier) in combination with pharmacological blockade of alpha-adrenoceptors by local phenoxybenzamine (1 mg kg-1,
Generalized pain and fatigue are both hallmarks of fibromyalgia, a syndrome with an indefinite etiology. The treatment options for fibromyalgia are currently limited, probably because of its intricate pathophysiology. Thus, further basic and clinical research on this condition is currently needed.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is one of the most common musculoskeletal pain conditions. Although the aetiology of FM is still unknown, mitochondrial dysfunction and the overproduction of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) are common characteristics in its pathogenesis. The reserpine experimental model can
The gamma-aminobutyric acid type B (GABAB) receptor agonist, the sodium salt of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), significantly improved pain, sleep disturbance and fatigue in fibromyalgia (FM) patients. However, the use of GABAB receptor agonists is limited by their undesirable
Depression is a psychiatric condition in which there is loss of interest in all pleasurable outlets, viz. food, sex, work, friends, hobbies and entertainment. The prevalence rate of the disease is 6-8% in women and 3-5% in men. Ayurveda, the science of life, provides systematic management principles
Traditional centrally acting antihypertensives have been associated with a high incidence of adverse effects and are no longer recommended as first-line therapy. The newer imidazoline receptor agonists must overcome this reputation if they are to gain recognition as potential first-line agents for
The importance of subcellular storage, nerve impulse rate and pattern, and feedback regulation, as well as resupply by axonal transport for the release of noradrenaline and neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity, was studied in the blood perfused pig spleen in vivo. Vasoconstrictor responses were
1. The action and interaction of noradrenaline (NA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and the sympathetic innervation was studied in the isolated taenia of the guinea-pig caecum.2. Addition of 5-HT led to a contraction of the taenia while addition of NA or perivascular nerve stimulation resulted in
The possible involvement of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in sympathetic control of renal blood flow was investigated in the pig in vivo. Exogenous NPY caused renal vasoconstriction with a threshold effect at an arterial plasma concentration of 164 pmol 6(-1). Stimulation of the renal nerves (0.59, 2 and 10
The overflows of noradrenaline (NA) and neuropeptide Y like immunoreactivity (NPY-LI) and vascular responses upon sympathetic nerve stimulation were analysed in the nasal mucosa of pentobarbital anaesthetized pigs. In controls, a frequency-dependent increase in NA overflow was observed whereas
