Properties of endogenous, membrane-associated sialidase activity (N-acetylneuraminidase) of the goldfish visual system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1983-01)
The endogenous sialidase (N-acetylneuraminidase) activity of membranes prepared from goldfish retina and optic tectum displays characteristics similar to those reported for neural plasma membrane sialidases of other ...
Glycine Protection of PC-12 Cells Against Injury by ATP-Depletion
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-06)
A distinctive mechanism of cell injury during ATP depletion involves the loss of cellular glycine. The current study examined whether provision of glycine during ATP depletion can prevent injury in PC-12 cells, a cell line ...
Gene expression of the insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in human neuroblastoma cell lines
(Elsevier, 1992-10)
Insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I and II are polypeptides with both growth-promoting and insulin-like metabolic effects. The developmentally specific expression of IGF I and II in the nervous system implies a role for ...
Trophic capacity of experimentally lengthened gustatory axons
(Elsevier, 1984-11)
Long nerve stumps will maintain end-organs for a longer period of time than short nerve stumps. However, longer maintenance might result not from a longer nerve stump per se but from uncontrolled factors such as less ...
Improving patient and provider communication: A synthesis and review of communication interventions
(Elsevier, 1991-04)
Results of 40 experimental trials designed to enhance communication skills of patients or health-care providers are summarized. Calculation of effect sizes (ES) offered a method for comparing the impact of these interventions ...
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, ...
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 ...
NGF effects on developing forebrain cholinergic neurons are regionally specific
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1987-11)
Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been shown to have an effect on neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). A number of observations suggest that NGF acts as a trophic factor for cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain ...
