8 results about "Chromaffin cell" patented technology

Chromaffin cells, also pheochromocytes, are neuroendocrine cells found mostly in the medulla of the adrenal glands in mammals. These cells serve a variety of functions such as serving as a response to stress, monitoring carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations in the body, maintenance of respiration and the regulation of blood pressure. They are in close proximity to pre-synaptic sympathetic ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system, with which they communicate, and structurally they are similar to post-synaptic sympathetic neurons. In order to activate chromaffin cells, the splanchnic nerve of the sympathetic nervous system releases acetylcholine, which then binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the adrenal medulla. This causes the release of catecholamines. The chromaffin cells release catecholamines: ~80% of adrenaline (epinephrine) and ~20% of noradrenaline (norepinephrine) into systemic circulation for systemic effects on multiple organs (similarly to secretory neurones of the hypothalamus), and can also send paracrine signals. Hence they are called neuroendocrine cells.

Composition for regulating sleep rhythm homeostasis, preparation method and application thereof

The invention discloses a composition for regulating sleep rhythm homeostasis as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The composition for regulating the sleep rhythm homeostasis is prepared from the following components in percentage by weight: 5 to 18 percent of polydextrose, 9 to 15 percent of galactooligosaccharide, 1 to 10 percent of inulin, 0.4 to 2 percent of gamma-aminobutyric acid, 0.8 to 2.2 percent of L-theanine, 0.1 to 3.5 percent of magnesium citrate, 2 to 21 percent of semen ziziphi spinosae extract, 1 to 10 percent of poria cocos extract, 0.5 to 2 percent of pericarpium citri reticulatae extract, 0.3 to 1 percent of liquorice root extract and 15 to 40 percent of maltodextrin. 5-18% of coconut oil powder MCTs, and 0.5-2% of a lily extract. According to the application, a magnesium MCTs shell-core structure is delivered by maltodextrin to form a mitochondrial piezoelectric engine so as to improve prebiotics, promote flora metabolism efficiency and energy supply feedback, activate intestinal pheochromophilic cells and improve SLC6A4 gene expression so as to improve synthesis of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the brain and activate GABA energy neurons; meanwhile, through the spina date seed and poria cocos quantum dots and a pericarpium citri reticulatae and liquorice pi-pi stacking network, the blood-brain barrier penetration rate is greatly increased, and hypothalamic CRH release is adjusted.
