Abstract
Septic shock is characterized by vasodilation and hypotension despite increased vasoconstrictors. While nitric oxide is known to be responsible for vasodilation, failure of vascular smooth muscle to constrict may be due in part to low plasma levels of vasopressin, a neurohypophyseal hormone. In the initial phase of septic shock, vasopressin concentration usually increases but then decreases to a significantly lower concentration after onset of septic shock. In this review, we discuss the neural mechanisms for the regulation of vasopressin secretion during septic shock.

Association between Diabetes Mellitus and natural product complementary applications: State of the arts
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) represents a significant global health challenge, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The increasing prevalence of DM, alongside its associated complications, has prompted researchers and healthcare professionals to explore a variety of management strategies beyond conventional pharmacotherapy. Among these ...read more
Chronic inflammation and Disorders/Cancers
Chronic inflammation is fundamental cause of variety of disorders. Many lifestyle-related diseases including metabolic syndrome, obesity, impairment of immune responses, sepsis, mental illness, and other disorders are caused by chronic inflammation. Prevention of chronic inflammation is related to antiaging effects of our body. Proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α is associated ...read more
