Yang M, Roman K, Chen D, Wang Z, Lin Y, Stephens Jr R
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol . 2011 Mar; 300(6):F1353-9. PMID: 21429971
Glutamatergic pathways mediate transmission of pain. Strategies to reduce glutamatergic neurotransmission may have beneficial effects to mitigate nociception. Recent work revealed that overexpression of the astrocytic glutamate transporter (GLT-1) by...

Hacimuftuoglu A, Handy C, Goettl V, Lin C, Dane S, Stephens Jr R
Behav Brain Res . 2006 Aug; 173(2):211-6. PMID: 16919817
An emerging theme in the study of the pathophysiology of chronic and persistent pain is the role of pro-oxidant substances. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in contributing to...

Varanasi S, Chi J, Stephens Jr R
Am J Physiol . 1997 Dec; 273(5):R1607-11. PMID: 9374800
Serotonin (5-HT) interacts with thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) at the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) to augment TRH-induced stimulation of gastric acid secretion. To investigate the 5-HT receptor family involved in the...

Chen C, Stephens Jr R, Rogers R
Neurogastroenterol Motil . 1997 Jun; 9(2):109-16. PMID: 9198086
The pancreatic polypeptide family of hormones and neurotransmitters including pancreatic polypeptide (PP), peptide YY (PYY) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) are emerging as potent central regulators of gastric function. There is,...

LePard K, Mohammed J, Stephens Jr R
Gen Pharmacol . 1997 Mar; 28(3):415-20. PMID: 9068983
1. The purpose of this study was to examine the change in gastric acid output and gastric erosion formation produced by inducing gastric enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell hyperplasia in female rats....

LePard K, Chi J, Mohammed J, Gidener S, Stephens Jr R
Am J Physiol . 1996 Oct; 271(4 Pt 1):E669-77. PMID: 8897854
Despite many reports that serotonin (5-HT) inhibits gastric acid output, the role and mechanism of action of endogenous 5-HT to modulate gastric secretion remain unclear. Vagal stimulation enhanced the basal...

Chi J, Kemerer J, Stephens Jr R
Am J Physiol . 1996 Aug; 271(2 Pt 2):R368-72. PMID: 8770136
Convergent evidence suggests that thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is a principal regulator of several vagally mediated gastric responses. Serotonin (5-HT) interacts with TRH in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) to augment...

Chen C, Rogers R, Stephens Jr R
Regul Pept . 1996 Feb; 61(2):95-8. PMID: 8852810
Peptide YY (PYY) has been shown to effectively regulate gastrointestinal function when administered intravenously. In the present study, the effect of intracisternal (i.c.) injection of rat PYY on the rate...

Mohammed J, Saska T, Chi J, Stephens Jr R
Brain Res . 1995 Oct; 695(1):100-3. PMID: 8574642
Serotonin interacts with TRH at the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) to augment gastric functional parameters. To ascertain physiologic relevance, patterns of stimulated release at the terminal field were characterized. Stimulation...
