    • A putative role for hypothalamic glucocorticoid receptors in hypertension induced by prenatal undernutrition ... 
      Pérez, Hernán; Soto Moyano, Rubén; Ruiz, Samuel; Hernández, Alejandro; Sierralta, Walter; Olivares, Ricardo; Núñez, Héctor; Flores, Osvaldo; Morgan, Carlos; López Valladares, Luis; Gatica, Arnaldo; Flores, Francisco J. (2010)
      Prenatal undernutrition induces hypertension later in life, possibly by disturbing the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis through programming decreased expression of hypothalamic glucocorticoid receptors. We examined the ...
    • Administration of high doses of copper to capuchin monkeys does not cause liver damage but induces ... 
      Araya, Magdalena; Núñez, Héctor; Pavez, Leonardo; Arredondo, Miguel; Méndez, Marco; Cisternas, Felipe; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Sierralta, Walter; Uauy Dagach-Imbarack, Ricardo; González, Mauricio (2012)
      Liver cells respond to copper loading upregulating protective mechanisms. However, to date, except for liver content, there are no good indicators that identify individuals with excess liver copper. We hypothesized that ...
    • Effect of prenatal protein malnutrition on long-term potentiation and BDNF protein expression in the rat ... 
      Hernández, Alejandro; Burgos, Héctor; Mondaca, Mauricio; Barra, Rafael; Núñez, Héctor; Pérez, Hernán; Soto Moyano, Rubén; Sierralta, Walter; Fernández, Victor; Olivares, Ricardo; López Valladares, Luis (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
      Reduction of the protein content from 25 to 8% casein in the diet of pregnant rats results in impaired neocortical long-term potentiation (LTP) of the offspring together with lower visuospatial memory performance. The ...
    • Influence of estrogens on copper indicators: In vivo and in vitro studies 
      Arredondo, Miguel; Núñez, Héctor; López, Guadalupe; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Ayala, Mariana; Araya, Magdalena (2010)
      Classic copper indicators are not sensitive and specific for detecting excess copper exposure when this is higher than customary but not markedly elevated. Serum copper and ceruloplasmin (Cp) are the most commonly used ...
    • Prenatal undernutrition decreases the sensitivity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis in rat, as ... 
      Navarrete, Mario; Núñez, Héctor; Ruiz, Samuel; Soto Moyano, Rubén; López Valladares, Luis; White Ortiz, Allan; Pérez, Hernán (2007)
      Prenatal undernutrition is known to disturb the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, possibly through the programming of decreased expression of hypothalamic and pituitary glucocorticoid receptors. To test this ...
    • β-Adrenoceptor blockade depresses molecular and functional plasticities in the rat neocortex 
      Flores, Osvaldo; Núñez, Héctor; Pérez, Hernán; Morgan, Carlos; Soto Moyano, Rubén; Valladares Boasi, Luis; Burgos, Héctor; Olivares, Ricardo; Hernández, Alejandro (2010)
      β-Adrenergic receptor stimulation can significantly facilitate synaptic potentiation in the hippocampus and enhance memory processes, but its effect on neocortical plastic mechanisms is less conclusive. In the present study ...
