[kappa]1 Receptor mRNA Distribution in the Rat CNS: Comparison to [kappa] Receptor Binding and Prodynorphin mRNA
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
Three opioid receptor types have been identified in the CNS and periphery that are referred to as [mu], [delta], and [kappa]. The present study examines the mRNA distribution of the [kappa]1 receptor in the rat brain and ...
Photoperiodic effects on hypothalamic [beta]-endorphin and POMC mRNA
(Elsevier, 1994-11-10)
Autoradiographic quantification of muscarinic cholinergic synaptic markers in bat, shrew, and rat brain
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
We employed radioligand binding autoradiography to determine the distributions of pre- and postsynaptic cholinergic radioligand binding sites in the brains of two species of bat, one species of shrew, and the rat. High ...
Isolation and characterization of the xenopus laevis cdna and genomic homologs of neuropeptide Y
(Elsevier, 1994-05)
We have isolated Xenopus laevis cDNA and genomic clones encoding the neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA and gene using a probe from the human NPY gene. The longest open reading frame in the cDNA encodes a peptide 76% identical to ...
Cloning and expression of the A 2a adenosine receptor from guinea pig brain
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
A full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) clone encoding the guinea pig brain A 2 adenosine receptor has been isolated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and low-stringency-hybridization screening of a guinea pig brain cDNA ...
Glucosylceramide in the nervous system - A mini-review
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
A reviewer of this manuscript has recommended that I warn the reader that the hypotheses offered here do not have enough experimental support to make them widely accepted.
Callitachykinin I and II, two novel myotropic peptides isolated from the blowfly, Calliphora vomitoria, that have resemblances to tachykinins
(Elsevier, 1994)
Two peptides, related to the locust myotropic peptides locustatachykinin I-IV, were isolated from the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria. Whole, frozen flies were used for extraction with acidified methanol. A cockroach hindgut ...
Asymmetric cross-sensitization to the locomotor stimulant effects of phencyclidine and MK-801,
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
Chronic administration of a psychomotor stimulant has been shown to produce progressively enhanced effects, a phenomenon called "reverse tolerance" or sensitization. Sensitization which develops to the psychomotor stimulant ...
