Effects of estrogen agonists on amphetamine-stimulated striatal dopamine release
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-08)
Based upon the observation that estrogen acts in the striatum to rapidly modulate dopamine (DA) neural transmission and DA-mediated behaviors, it has been postulated that these effects of estrogen are mediated by a specific, ...
The cloned butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) gene maps to a single chromosome site, 3q26
(Elsevier, 1991-10)
Human tissues have two distinct cholinesterase activities: acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase functions in the transmission of nerve impulses, whereas the physiological function of ...
Interaction of five -mannose-specific lectins with a series of synthetic branched trisaccharides
(Elsevier, 1991-06-25)
The interaction of a series of synthetic, branched trisaccharides with five -mannose-specific lectins was studied by precipitation-inhibition assay. The branched methyl [alpha]--mannotrioside, [alpha]--Manp-(1-->3)-[[ ...
Lesions of the central nucleus of the amygdala I: Effects on taste reactivity, taste aversion learning and sodium appetite
(Elsevier, 1993-12-31)
Bilateral damage to the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeAX) in the rat blunts need-induced NaCl intake and abolishes daily need-free NaCl intake when measured with a two-bottle test. Such a deficit could be the result ...
A novel gene containing a trinucleotide repeat that is expanded and unstable on Huntington's disease chromosomes
(Elsevier, 1993-03-26)
The Huntington's disease (HD) gene has been mapped in 4p16.3 but has eluded identification. We have used haplotype analysis of linkage disequilibrium to spotlight a small segment of 4p16.3 as the likely location of the ...
Androgen receptor immunoreactivity in the male and female Syrian hamster brain
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-06-05)
To investigate potential mechanisms for sex differences in the physiologic response to androgens, the present study compared the hormonal regulation of intracellular androgen receptor partitioning and the distribution of ...
Effects of morphine treatment on pro-opiomelanocortin systems in rat brain
(Elsevier, 1990-06-11)
In previous studies to determine whether chronic opiate administration might negatively feedback upon endogenous opioid systems in the CNS, investigators found no changes in steady-state concentrations of opioid peptides ...
Inhibitory and excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter binding sites in cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) cervical spinal cord
(Elsevier, 1993-02-26)
Autoradiography of inhibitory and excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter binding sites in the cervical spinal cord of M. fascicularis spinal cord revealed inhomogenous distribution of all binding sites in spinal gray matter. ...
Excitatory and inhibitory amino acid binding sites in human dentate nucleus
(Elsevier, 1991-09-27)
Autoradiography of excitatory and inhibitory amino acid binding sites in human dentate nuclei indicated virtually no binding to N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) or [gamma]-aminobutyric acidB (GABAB) binding sites, and a low ...
