Nerve growth factor increases choline acetyltransferase activity in developing basal forebrain neurons
(Elsevier, 1986-07)
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neuronotrophic protein. Its effects on developing peripheral sensory and sympathetic neurons have been extensively characterized, but it is not clear whether NGF plays a role during the ...
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 ...
Evaluation of a medication refill reminder system for a community pharmacy
(Elsevier, 1985-06)
The problem of maintaining compliance in patients taking chronic medications is well established. One recommended approach to reducing this problem is to develop a system which identifies non-compliers in order that ...
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 ...
Systemic hormonal and physiological abnormalities in anxiety disorders
(Elsevier, 1988)
Among the studies of systemic hormonal and physiological abnormalities associated with anxiety disorders, the most consistent and extensive findings suggest (a) peripheral adrenergic hyperactivity (including increases in ...
Increased activity of ornithine decarboxylase in goldfish following optic nerve crush
(Elsevier, 1981-06)
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity increased in goldfish retina, brain, and kidney several days following unilateral intraorbital optic nerve crush. Activity in both retinas followed a similar time course, an elevation ...
Self-management of the health care regimen: a comparison of nurses' and cardiac patients' perceptions
(Elsevier, 1994-06)
This study compared perceptions of 129 elderly cardiac patients regarding their health status and self-management skills with corresponding assessments by outpatient nursing staff members. Nurse-patient perceptions were ...
The psychobiology of premenstrual dysphoria: review of theories and treatments
(Elsevier, 1977)
(1) Premenstrual mood changes such as depression, elation, anxiety, hostility and irritability are a common cause of disability in women. (2) The nature of the disorder, the clinical dimensions, the incidence, the psychological ...
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 ...
Changes at multiple levels of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis following repeated electrically induced seizures
(Elsevier, 1990)
Seizures, including electrically induced seizures (ECS), activate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in rats. The present studies were undertaken to characterize the effects of repeated ECS on hormone release and ...
