Effect of altered sensory conditions on multivariate descriptors of human postural sway
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998-09)
Multivariate descriptors of sway were used to test whether altered sensory conditions result not only in changes in amount of sway but also in postural coordination. Eigenvalues and directions of eigenvectors of the ...
The effects of menstrual phase and nicotine abstinence on nicotine intake and on biochemical and subjective measures in women smokers: a A preliminary report
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
Nicotine intake, menstrual and smoking withdrawal symptomatology, and baseline cortisol and MHPG were assessed in nine women smokers under conditions of ad lib smoking and overnight abstinence in three menstrual phases ...
Role for calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in coupling muscle activity to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene expression in rat
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-06-05)
Neurally evoked muscle electrical activity suppresses nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) gene expression in extrajunctional domains of adult muscle fibers. It has been proposed that this regulation is mediated by ...
The effects of four days of continuous striatal microdialysis on indices of dopamine and serotonin neurotransmission in rats
(Elsevier, 1991-12)
The effects of 4 days of continuous microdialysis with a small-diameter concentric-style probe on indices of striatal dopamine (DA) and serotonin neurotransmission were assessed. It was found that over 4 days of dialysis, ...
Intracellular calcium and hormone release from nerve endings of the neurohypophysis in the presence of opioid agonists and antagonists
(Springer-Verlag, 1992-09)
Rat neural lobes and isolated nerve terminals from the neurohypophysis were stimulated in the presence of different opioid agonists and antagonists. The secretion of arginine vasopressin and oxytocin and rise in cytoplasmic ...
Gene expression of the insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
Insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF I and II) are polypeptides with both growth-promoting and insulin-like metabolic effects16,27. Immunoreactive IGF I is present in the retina14 and both IGF I and II are present in ...
Stress-induced rise of body temperature in rats is the same in warm and cool environments
(Elsevier, 1990-04)
Several forms of psychological stress result in a rise in body temperature in rats. In this study, we report that rats housed at a low ambient temperature (11.1[deg]C) develop stress-induced rises in body temperature that ...
Differential distribution of messenger RNAs for cathepsins B, L and S in adult rat brain: An in situ hybridization study
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
The cysteine lysosomal proteases comprise a large family of highly conserved enzymes which are essential for intracellular protein turnover. These proteases are very efficient in their ability to degrade components of the ...
Antibodies against pax6 immunostain amacrine and ganglion cells and neuronal progenitors, but not rod precursors, in the normal and regenerating retina of the goldfish
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996-03)
Pax6 is a developmental regulatory gene that plays a key role in the development of the embryonic brain, eye, and retina. This gene is also expressed in discrete groups of neurons within the adult brain. In this study, ...
Short-Term Adrenalectomy Increases Glucocorticoid and Mineralocorticoid Receptor mRNA in Selective Areas of the Developing Hippocampus
(Elsevier, 1993-10)
In the central nervous system, adrenal steroids bind to two different types of corticosteroid receptors: glucocorticoid (GR) or mineralocorticoid (MR). In vitro biochemical and autoradiographic techniques have been used ...
