Tissue-specific expression of the human neuropeptide Y gene in transgenic mice
(Elsevier, 1992-06)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is the most abundant neuropeptide detected in the mammalian brain, and is found throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. This peptide is a proposed regulator of appetite, blood pressure, ...
Quisqualate- and NMDA-sensitive [ 3 H]glutamate binding in primate brain
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1990-12)
Excitatory amino acids (EAA) such as glutamate and aspartate are probably the neurotransmitters of a majority of mammalian neurons. Only a few previous studies have been concerned with the distribution of the subtypes of ...
Processing of pro-opiomelanocortin-derived amidated joining peptide and glycine-extended precursor in monkey pituitary
(Elsevier, 1991-04-01)
The molecular forms of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) derived amidated and C-terminal glycine-extended joining peptide from monkey (Macaca mulatta) pituitary were determined. The predominant forms of joining peptide found were ...
Stimulation by voluntary exercise of adrenal glucocorticoid secretion in mature female hamsters
(Elsevier, 1992-04)
The possibility that habitual voluntary running induces a chronic change in adrenal glucocorticoid synthesis and secretion was examined in freely running mature female hamsters, in whom this behavior accelerates growth, ...
The gustatory competence of the lingual epithelium requires neonatal innervation
(Elsevier, 1993-04-16)
The rat vallate papilla is bilaterally innervated by the IXth nerve whose axons are required for the normal development of its several hundred taste buds. Temporary denervation during the developmental sensitive period for ...
The long-term effects of neurotoxic doses of methamphetamine on the extracellular concentration of dopamine measured with microdialysis in striatum
(Elsevier, 1990-03-02)
The extracellular concentrations of dopamine (DA), dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the striatum were measured by in vivo microdialysis in freely moving ...
Subcellular localization of [alpha]-tubulin and opsin mRNA in the goldfish retina using digoxigenin-labeled cRNA probes detected by alkaline phosphatase and HRP histochemistry
(Elsevier, 1993-11)
This paper describes a method for non-radioactive in situ hybridization providing subcellular localization of mRNA in 3 [mu]m cryosections. We used two alternative colorimetric reactions to detect digoxigenin-labeled cRNA ...
Physiological properties of newly formed synapses between sympathetic preganglionic neurons and sympathetic ganglion neurons
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1991-04)
We have examined the physiological properties of transmission at newly formed synapses between sympathetic preganglionic neurons and sympathetic ganglion neurons in vitro . Chick neurons were labeled with fluorescent ...
A comparison of D1 receptor binding and mRNA in rat brain using receptor autoradiographic and in situ hybridization techniques
(Elsevier, 1992-02)
D1, a subtype of the dopamine receptors, is widely distributed in the nervous system and has been shown to be positively coupled to adenylate cyclase. Using a combination of in vitro receptor autoradiographic and in situ ...
Magnesium reduces (NMDA)-mediated brain injury in perinatal rats
(Elsevier, 1990-02-05)
We evaluated the neuroprotective effects of systemically administered magnesium against (NMDA)-mediated brain injury in perinatal rats. Postnatal day (PND) 7 rats received unilateral intrastriatal injections of 25 nmol ...
