Effect of Neuropeptide Y on Natural Killer Activity of Normal Human Lymphocytes
(Elsevier, 1993-03)
The in vitro effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on natural killer (NK) cell activities of normal lymphocytes was investigated. NPY at 10-9 to 10-12M concentrations produced significant suppression of NK activity against K 562 ...
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 ...
CSF somatostatin in Alzheimer's disease and major depression: Relationship to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and clinical measures
(Elsevier, 1993)
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and major depression have been shown to have overlapping clinical symptoms and biological markers, including decreased concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) somatostatin-like ...
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 ...
Progesterone modulation of gonadotropin secretion by dispersed rat pituitary cells in culture. IV. Follicle-stimulating hormone synthesis and release
(Elsevier, 1993-02)
Estradiol-treated, rat pituitary cells were studied to examine the effects of progesterone (P) on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis and secretion. Progesterone was administered prior to or concurrent with 3 h ...
Continued search for the cellular signals that regulate regeneration of dopaminergic neurons in goldfish retina
(Elsevier, 1993-12-17)
Intraocular injections of low doses (0.7-1.4 mM estimated intraocular concentration) of 6-hydroxydopamine (6OHDA) selectively destroy dopaminergic neurons in the inner nuclear layer (INL) of goldfish retina, and they never ...
Glutamate uptake system in the presynaptic vesicle: Glutamic acid analogs as inhibitors and alternate substrates
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-01)
A variety of naturally occurring amino acids, their isomers, and synthetic analogs were tested for their ability to inhibit uptake of [ 3 H]glutamate into presynaptic vesicles from bovine cerebral cortex. Strongest inhibition ...
Tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA-containing neurons in the medial amygdaloid nucleus and the reticular nucleus of the thalamus in the Syrian hamster
(Elsevier, 1993-11)
To confirm previous immunocytochemical findings in colchicine-treated Syrian hamsters, in situ hybridization was used to investigate the distribution of TH mRNA-containing cells in the medial amygdaloid nucleus (Me) and ...
Diurnal Regulation of Glucocorticoid Receptor and Mineralocorticoid Receptor mRNAs in Rat Hippocampus
(Elsevier, 1993-04)
The present studies were undertaken to determine whether hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) biosynthesis, as inferred from mRNA expression, exhibit diurnal patterns of activation ...
