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, ...
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Metastatic to the Dura: Report of Two Cases
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-09)
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) originating in the salivary and lacrimal glands usually spreads to the intracranial space by following cranial nerves into the cavernous sinus, temporal bone and cerebellopontine angle. We ...
cDNA and derived amino acid sequence of rabbit nasal cytochrome P450NMb (P450IIG1), a unique isozyme possibly involved in olfaction
(Elsevier, 1991-02-15)
Olfactory-specific cytochrome P450NMb was previously purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from microsomes of rabbit nasal mucosa in this laboratory. In the present study, a cDNA library made from poly(A)+ RNA from rabbit ...
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 ...
Actin polymerization in cellular oxidant injury
(Elsevier, 1991-08-01)
Microfilaments undergo an ATP-dependent disruption into shortened bundles following cellular exposure to oxidants. This phenomenon does not require a net change in the amount of polymerized actin. However, increased amounts ...
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 ...
Effects of Enforcement of Youth Access Laws on Smoking Prevalence
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-04)
Smoking is the primary preventable cause of death, and yet 3,000 adolescents become smokers each day. Most adult smokers begin this deadly habit when they are under the age of 18, which is the minimum legal age for the ...
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. ...
