Does the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide ( PACAP ) protect adrenal function in septic rats administered etomidate?
In septic conditions, the PACAP protects the adrenal gland by regulating peripheral inflammation, which slightly relieves the toxic effects of etomidate on adrenal function.
Chick retinal cells, most of which were glial cells mixed with a small number of neurons, produced TIMP-1 and TIMP-2. Their production was enhanced by cyclic mechanical stretching.
